A man with strong feelings that the military actions of Israel in Gaza amount to genocide decides to charge across a busy street and tackle a man participating with others in a pro-Israel protest—and ends up shot in the abdomen by the man he attacked.

Now the shooter, Scott Hayes, has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and is looking at 10 years in prison.

(UPDATE: In the video I discuss that Hayes had also been charged with a civil rights violation good for 10 years in prison—that civil rights charge has been dropped since I recorded this video.)

It's being reported that Hayes has been granted bail in the amount of $5,000, with a variety of conditions including GPS monitoring, but this will at least allow him to go to work and such.

Presumably Hayes will attempt to justify his shooting as lawful self-defense. How viable is that defense, and how vulnerable is it to attack by the prosecution? That’s what we’ll be discussing today.

THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!

There are lots of self-defense "insurance" companies out there. Some are hot garbage. Some have limited resources. Some are simply, in my view, untrustworthy. But there is ONE that I PERSONALLY TRUST to protect myself and my family.
