Local Fox affiliate KTTV-11 added: “Reports on social media said the man was holding an Israeli flag among the group of pro-Palestine demonstrators, when one demonstrator allegedly hit the man on the head with a megaphone. The hit allegedly caused the man to fall down and hit his head. Video on social media just showed the man on the ground holding his head after the fall.”
Kessler was involved in a physical altercation between counterprotesters, the sheriff’s office said, citing witness accounts. It did not specify which side instigated the altercation.
Deputies responded to reports of a battery at a demonstration on Westlake and Thousand Oaks Boulevards after a verbal altercation broke out between 69-year-old Paul Kessler and an unnamed protester on Sunday afternoon, per a department press release.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles wrote in a post on X Monday evening that the pro-Palestinian protester threw a megaphone at Kessler.
The man who didn't want to be identified described some of the pro-Palestinian protesters as "extremely aggressive" and said they were yelling at police and "trying to incite a reaction or response."

I could see if this happened in Israel. In Palestine. Anywhere in the middle east, but not here.

VERBAL Altercation that turned physical when he was struck by the assailant.
Either way, a man is dead and the man who did it is likely not even in police custody.
But hey, it's a mostly peaceful protest right?

He 'fell' and hit his head because he was smacked in the head with a bull horn.
The action of the 'peaceful' pro-Palestinian protestor caused the fall. It's his fault.
His death was ruled homicide.
