Paul Kessler, 69, was evacuated to a hospital, where he was pronounced DOA. Pro-Hamas protester hit him over the head with a megaphone, killing Kessler
Paul Kessler, a 69 year old Jewish man, was murdered by Pro-Hamas protesters in Westlake Village, near Los Angeles. He confronted one protestor who hit him over the head with a megaphone.
A photo of the man said to be a suspect in the murder of Paul Kessler, 69, in Westlake Village on 11.6.23 gives his version of events to police.
Update 11.7.23: It’s unclear that anyone actually witnessed the suspect hitting the victim over the head with a megaphone. Some accounts are that he simply shoved Kessler, who then tripped and fell, smashing his head on the concrete. For this reason, it is not currently clear that anyone will be charged with homicide over the incident.
There were competing pro Palestine and pro-Israel rallies across Westlake Blvd from each other. Kessler had crossed the street to confront the suspect, which is also a fact militating against a prosecutor filing the case as a homicide. In a murder trial, the defendant’s intent is important. Here, the suspect called 911 to report an injured man, before Kessler died.

"You are going to pay @UBC, @Columbia, @Harvard @upenn for enabling this," tweeted Apu. The reference is to anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, anti-semitic rallies that have taken place at American Universities. The same crowd behind the BLM rallies in 2021, is said to be behind the pro-Hamas rallies.
An earlier version of this article erroneously listed Kessler's age as 65. It also erroneously said the LAPD was investigating.
