You may have seen the video of a Pro-Palestinian man who was arguing with some Pro-Israeli protesters in Massachusetts. He charges across the street and jumps one of the men from behind. In the ensuing scuffle, the attacked man pulls his pistol and shoots him in the stomach.
But wait, there's more. The local DA has decided to charge the man who defended himself with crimes.
It's like they want to protect their side and attack the other. One wonders why...

The veteran had every right to protect himself. Why do they think we have to take their attacks?

Any location with a Soros sponsored DA faces this sort of thing. Even in Texas it took a Governor’s pardon to release the guy convicted in Travis county (Austin) in a similar (IMHO much more clear cut) case.

The man who was shot clearly escalated the verbal conflict by crossing the street to physically attack the shooter. Yet none of the reports mention that he has been charged by the DA. If that doesn't happen it is a real travesty to charge the victim and not the one who started it.

Does Newton Massachusetts have a published list of which positions are afforded Constitutional protection and which ones aren't?
Also, if you initiate combat and your intended victim is armed better than you, whose fault is that?

Clearly the veteran's fault for living in a blue state.
