As the Rabbi in Westlake, I just got off the phone with the Chief of Police. As of 5:42pm, this is the situation: They have conflicting reports of what happened, and they did interview the susoect that is identified in social media at the event. They have no video

Please do not make assumptions or accusations until the police can do their job and/or we get real video. ALL postings otherwise are not accurate at this time. It is not being handled by Los Angeles law enforcement; and the police here are clear

Again, as of this time, there is an investigation and conflicting reports. Sadly, Paul has died and Cheryl is a widow. The police need any video. IF YOU HAVE VIDEO, PLEASE EMAIL IT TO [email protected], and please restrain yourselved until we know more

I hope they get video of the attack. Without it it will be very difficult to prosecute his killer. They are already in LA which is weak on crime.
People who go to protests need to take cameras with them. Everyone should be recording. Cameras are cheap enough that everyone can buy one. Get a selfie stick, wear it like a body camera, or wear it on a hat.
Record everything.
Phones work too but they are expensive to replace if the other side damages them or steals them which is why I say go buy a cheap camera that can record video.
Just read it’s in Ventura County and not LA so the odds of a good prosecution have gone up.
Also the victim was recording the incident and police have his phone. Hopefully others also have recordings to back up the victims recording.
Yeah there’s no reason not to have cameras. Especially so for an event where counter protesters are likely to show up. At minimum having several folks with body cameras helps ID troublemakers and might deter some of them. We are in a bad place when we need to worry about security arrangements for a vigil.
There is a picture of the guy and a detailed version from an eyewitness who said the perp basically invaded a pro-Israel gathering.
“abbi Avraham Berkowitz, providing first-hand account details, verified that the 65-year-old Jewish victim was indeed Paul Kessler.
“Paul Kessler a 65 year old Jewish man, who was pro-Israel was beaten to death in Los Angeles by a pro-Palestinian activist with a megaphone. The victim was evacuated to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The LAPD has confirmed this,” Berkowitz wrote.
Berkowitz posted a photo of the suspect, clarifying the scene at the time of the incident.
According to Berkowitz, “Pro-Israel peace activists were holding a vigil for the victims of the October 7th massacre and demanding the release of the innocent people kidnapped by Hamas, when they were approached and attacked by a group of individuals, including the man in this picture. Please share any information about this man for the LAPD’s investigation.””

(Isn’t that the terrible site where one of the contributors here also writes?)
“the perp basically invaded a pro-Israel gathering.”
“Pro-Israel peace activists were holding a vigil for the victims… when they were approached and attacked by a group of individuals”
Good thing California makes it almost impossible to carry a gun for self-defense, or else someone might have gotten hurt.
Which turned out to be FAKE. They took it down for fear of a lawsuit.
Which of LI’s bloggers do you claim also writes for that cesspool of lies?
Then it’s good it was taken down. We’ll see if it’s fake in the end.

Are there two?
Oh. Well, shame on him for letting that site run his work. Unless they’re paying him; he’s got to make a living after all.
He thinks catching you in error justifies his trafficking in Hoftaganda. He drags Mike into the affair to shut you up or guilt you or prove Hoft is no better or worse than Legal Insurrection writer-contributors.
Its slimy behavior used against internet enemies. I guess you rate as his enemy.
It’s surprising that no one here noticed.
Tiki. You don’t have a clue what others think. Pretend away!
“Then it’s good it was taken down.”
Oh, the obtuse internet game!
The point being Jim Hoft is a sloppy, schlock journalist willing to post unsourced internet gossip as gospel truth. Then, more times as not, he gets called out and stealth edits his posts. But the duped readership already spread the lie far and wide. Kind of like what justice warrior commenters here at LI do.
But lets let the muddled dupes pretend otherwise. Because justice or something something.
Now do the liars of the New York Times, and Washington Post.
Is there a need to do so here among folks who already know those outlets are hot garbage? Informing us that water is wet and the sun rises in the east isn’t exactly groundbreaking.
He’s one of the leaders of the most important lawsuit going today, Missouri v. Biden. What have you done except pretend to be superior?
Gateway pundit is indeed a terrible site and trafficked by easily duped commenters here at LI.
Tell it to Mike LaChance!
Whoever downvoted you, can’t handle the truth about the savages….
Could care less. Love the santimony, however.
What? No surveillance cameras in that area? There are everywhere else; strange there is no footage from security cameras
No Muslim of this hateful death cult has ever been arrested for a hate crime. The FBI is actually scared of these animals.
That is just not true.
Kamala blames islamophobia??
No, it’s not true that Moslems are not arrested when they commit hate crimes (or indeed any kind of crime). The prisons are full of Moslems.
BLM: Megaphone
Tennessee House rep: Megaphone
Antifa: Megaphone
Hamas followers: Megaphone
By their megaphones you shall know them. Now here is a dilemma for Newsom… how to avoid commenting on this.
I’ve gotta say — it sounds like it was a mostly peaceful skull crushing that resulted in the death of an American citizen.
Im confident that there will be a sincere, diligent investigation, and that a mostly just justice will just prevail.
In Los Angeles
In California
In 2023
Nothing o be concerned about here
Move along
Move right along
Hey who won the game yesterday
May his memory be a blessing.
Details may still be somewhat fuzzy, I just hope the suspect faces some kind of justice. But, I am really cynical now.
This sound like premeditated murder.
The perp has earned the “needle.”
It doesn’t sound premeditated at all. At most it’s manslaughter, or negligent homicide. And it might not even be that; we need to wait for the facts and the evidence.
I think we should wait until all the facts come out, and then at that point, stubbornly stick to our preconceived notions.
This is helpful
My preconceived notions are that the msn with megaphone was running to catch a bus so he could attend a COEXISTENCE peace rally but suddenly he had a seizure which caused him to turn around and sprint the other way, straight for the Jew with the Star of David. That man then grabbed the megaphone from the man having the seizure, and commenced to strike himself on his own head many times until he was dead. Then, the dead man stood up, called an ambulance for the man having the seizure, returned the now-bloodied megaphone to its rightful owner, and apologized for bloodying it. That’s my preconceived notion and I’d guess that that’s probably most other people’s as well. But let’s wait until the investigation is completed.
I just saw on cnn that the dead man had “Altercations” with several people before his “Accident”. They never mentioned that he was waving an Israeli flag during a pro-Hamas protest. His altercations consisted of him getting slandered and verbally attacked by the pro-Hamas monsters and then getting hit by the megaphone. I thought cnn had hit bottom but I was wrong!
These thugs should be arrested and tried for homicide and a hate crime
This thug. I doubt more than one person was holding a megaphone and hit him with it.
