Yesterday we told you about a 69-year-old Jewish man, Paul Kessler, who had died after being hit in the head with a bull horn by a pro-Hamas a-hole.
He has turned himself in and this is how the AP is characterizing the entire story:
Man involved in confrontation with Jewish protester who died called 911, cooperated with police https://t.co/7Q9WvGhcXO

Southern California authorities investigating the death of a Jewish man following a confrontation with a pro-Palestinian demonstrator over the Israel-Hamas war haven’t determined whether a crime occurred and on Tuesday asked for the public’s help to unravel what happened.
Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryhoff said deputies determined that Paul Kessler, 69, who died early Monday at a hospital, had fallen backward and struck his head on the ground at a pro-Palestinian demonstration Sunday afternoon in Thousands Oaks, a suburb northwest of Los Angeles.
The pro-Palestinian demonstrator stayed at the scene and told deputies he had called 911, Fryhoff said.
Fryhoff said investigators were getting conflicting information from witnesses on both sides about what took place before the fall and had not ruled out the possibility of a hate crime. No arrests have been made, and officials were asking for people to provide video footage if they have any.
“What exactly transpired prior to Mr. Kessler falling backward isn’t crystal clear right now,” Fryhoff said, adding that it’s also unclear how many people were involved.
The dude murdered a Jewish man and he gets the entire benefit of the doubt from the corporate press:
A Jewish man is dead after a confrontation with anti-Semitic protestors and this is the AP takeaway.

However much you hate the corporate press, it isn’t enough. https://t.co/Y3WjJIusL3

Still can’t get over this. A man is dead and they tried to make his potential killer maybe turning himself into the police the main story.
Infuriating. https://t.co/nV3PsoSeYu

Red State has a lot more video from the protest yesterday where Kessler died. From the look of it, these protesters were clearly trying to agitate the Jewish people there with Israeli flags. One guy was getting right in the face of Jewish man with his bullhorn.
