All I can say is WTF? Who hits a kid in the head with a shovel?

“Prior to this attack, the man arrested had been receiving support of the mental health services,” Patel added.

Sounds like a lone-wolf with some complex stuff going on. Still horrible.

I'm confused which side hit the kid with the spade?

I'm pretty sure the boy was part of the protest march.

But it sounds like the attacker may have mental health issues and may not necessarily be on a "side".

The pro-genocide/Israel side hit the boy.
