Shock decision to not charge suspects with hate crime in brutal attack on Hebrew-speaking diners
The three suspects accused of brutally assaulting two Israeli-Americans outside a diner in San Jose, Northern California will not face hate crime charges in the attack, prosecutors revealed.
The three men — Ramon Akoyans, 18, Roma Akoyans, 20, and Bruneil Chamaki, 32 — were hit with felony assault charges, while Chamaki faces an additional misdemeanor battery charge after they turned themselves in to the San Jose Police Department on Monday.
Investigators had been looking at the attack as a potential hate crime after the Hebrew-speaking victims alleged their attackers used antisemitic language.
It’s not clear why prosecutors did not move forward with hate crime charges, though the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office said the case “remains an active investigation.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the attacks as “disgusting” and San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said that “antisemitism and all acts of hatred have no place in San Jose.”
The shocking assault took place in broad daylight on March 8 outside the upmarket restaurant Augustine on Santana Row.
Witnesses said the men also said, “F–k Jews.”
Chamaki, the oldest of the three, was admitted to the California State Bar in 2023 and was listed as a corporate attorney, the Chronicle reported. The law firm he worked for appeared to take down any postings about him online.
The three had previously posted chilling photos and videos of themselves posing with high-powered guns.
Images and clips shared online showed the Akoyans suspects holding weapons, including handguns and semi-automatic AR-15-style rifles.
One clip showed Ramon firing several rounds from the rifle, while another photo showed the pair standing with a group of armed men — one holding a sign reading, “I’m an Assyrian solider currently serving Assyrians in this department.” It’s not clear which department the sign referred to.
The victims have yet to publicly respond to the lack of hate charges for the men. None of the victims accepted hospitalization but suffered cuts and head pain after the attack.
The three men are expected to be arraigned on the charges in May and have been released on bail.

Mark Levin exposes Joe Kent and his anti Semite acolytes
Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Well, there’s a lot to go over today. Let me ask you folks a question. If there were an individual, the number two, the deputy at the director of National Intelligence Office. And this office was created after 911 to gather all the intelligence from throughout the federal government. And to present that information to the commander in chief once or twice a day to ensure that the commander in chief had the very best information from all the intelligence elements and assets. We have to make a decision on behalf of the United States of America. To protect us. And what if you find out that the number two person in that office? That the number two person in our office. It’s hostile to the president’s agenda. He rejects the decisions of the commander in chief. The ultimate decision on when to undertake military operations war. And what if that individual, it turns out. It’s alleged to have been a leaker. And it’s been leaking information. To friend and foe alike. Reportedly including two woke, right. Our ice age neo neofascist podcasters. What if this individual leaked the facts? That meeting had occurred between the commander in chief and other individuals. Or the commander in chief may not have wanted that information public. What would you call a person like that, America? Would you call them a patriot? Would you call the MAGA? What would you call a person like that? America? Wouldn’t you need to determine what kind of information this person has, in fact, been leaking to determine if they violated the Espionage Act? Is that a form of espionage, whether it’s officially criminal or not? Well, I’m basically describing a man by the name of Joe Kent. Joe Kent. Who resigned today. Because I suspect that he feared he was going to be fired. Because he was a serial leaker. As the reports go. In that all important position where he reports to Tulsi Gabbard. And apparently Gabert was informed. That she needed to do something about it. Corner two reports. I wasn’t there. And she did not. That is to remove him. There are literally individuals circling the wagons around this man. Including the woke Reich, neo fascist podcasters and influencers. And of course. The Marxist Islamists who opposed his appointment in the first place. The Democrats in the Senate who opposed his appointment in the first place are now praising him. Praising him. Turning him into a martyr. Furthermore, according to reports and things that I’ve been reading, this is a man who dabbled in. White supremacy who dabbled in neo-Nazi ism. I don’t know that we can call him those things at this point, but there’s no question that he dabbled in it. And in his resignation letter, which was written for the press, written for the Democrats. Not a private resignation letter to the president of the United States, but a letter written. For all those who oppose our president and oppose this war effort and who are undermining our military. A letter that no doubt will be quoted by the enemy and give them aid and comfort without question. A letter intentionally. Whereby by word put together. To create controversy. And to make the job of our president much more difficult. And the men and women in uniform who are fighting these these Nazi terrorists more difficult. While his defenders talk about his 11 deployments in the war. And his great service. As a military man. And it was. But the people fighting in this war today deserve the same amount of respect and support. And this man. Dishonored his appointment. Decided himself. This man. Is effectively. Smearing. Undermining. The men and women in uniform. Today we’re taking on this hard enemy. And he does a number of things in this letter. He decides. That there was not an imminent threat. He not the president, not the vice president, not the secretary of State, not the secretary. What he decides there’s not an imminent threat. Thereby trying. To use his former position in his resignation. To destroy support for the president as commander in chief in this war effort. It is a disgusting disgrace. He is a disgusting disgrace. Nobody’s questioning his military. Background and the things he did. In support of his country. We’re talking about what he’s done now. What he’s doing right this minute. He’s immediately embraced. Immediately. Baxter. Carlson. I Kelly, I. Jones. I own. I foments. Immediately embraced by them and more. And how dare you question him? They say unless you’ve served, I guess they’re not familiar with American system of government. We’re allowed to question anybody, whether we’ve served or not. But even if we haven’t served, we still have a responsibility to speak up for our country, our commander in chief and the men and women who are in the field fighting the enemy right now, regardless of who’s stabbing them in the back, regardless of the background of the person stabbing them in the back. And that’s exactly what this Joe Kane is doing. Stabbing the president in the back. The secretary of state in the back. The Secretary of Defense. The CIA director. And our men and women in uniform. Is a conscientious objection, you see, to the war. But he doesn’t have a right to leak if that’s what he did. And if you leak classified information, we have a law called the Espionage Act that you’re familiar with by now. I don’t know what delete. Oh, I have one example of what he leaked and I’ll get to that in a minute. This is no hero. If he was a hero, he’s no hero anymore. It’s one thing to be a conscientious objector. You resign and you leave. It took them an awful long time, didn’t it? Why now? Why not three weeks ago? Why not a year ago? What else does he do in this letter? He blames the Jews in Israel. You see Israel and its lobbyists. And it’s advocates here in America. They pressured the president. Pressured the president to go to war. I don’t know. Is Marco Rubio Jewish? Is Pete Hegseth Jewish? Is the head of the CIA. Jewish. Which Jew did this exactly? Which Israeli official is so powerful, so influential, that he convinced the entire national security apparatus, the entire Pentagon. The president of the United States, the secretary of state. The Secretary of Defense, Radcliffe That of the CIA. Which Joe is it? That has this kind of power. None. There are none. None. These are loathsome, contemptible, disgusting, immoral Jew haters. It always turns out that they hate our own country. Doesn’t it? Doesn’t it? Whether they served or not. You can wrap yourself in patriotism. You can wrap yourself in your background. You can attack me all you want. You can try and intimidate me. It’s not going to work. You can try and threaten me. It’s not going to work. I will always stand firm behind the United States military and this commander in chief. And I will always stand firm against an Islamist Nazi regime that wants to build nuclear weapons and wipe us off the face of the earth. I will always stand firm against a genocidal regime that kills 50,000 of its own people. I am perfectly comfortable in my own skin. I am perfectly comfortable with my own principles, my values, my beliefs, and, yes, my faith. My faith that born another faith. I make no apologies. I am proud. Weasels. Who secrete themselves into high positions. And leak to the media and leak to podcasters. Who looked the president’s in the face every day. While behind his back. They’re undermining him. Anybody who defends that. Anybody. Anybody who participates in that? Anybody? Is no patriot, as far as I’m concerned. Quite the opposite. Quite the opposite. Our president is a great man. He is a great leader. He’s made a very difficult decision. I mean, really, it’s a simple decision, but difficult because he has to put up with this. With this. With media individuals who’ve contributed nothing to the country. Nothing. With the Democrat Party. That is defunding our defenses at home and undermining our defense over overseas. Is to put up with. Individuals. And I’m sure it’s not just this guy and others. Who don’t have the guts, the guts to put their name to the leaked to the media. He’s got more guts than you. Mark, He served 11 times. I’m not talking about that. I am talking about. When you serve directly, the president and I. To state you do not conduct yourself that way. If you did it in the military, there’s not a commander in the United States military who would put up with somebody undermining the mission and leaking to the media and the media printing it and therefore giving information to the enemy. There is no commander. Who would tolerate that for 2 seconds. The letter. This man wrote this. Joe Kent. Is a letter of contempt against the country and the president. If you want to resign because you disagree with a war, you’re perfectly free to do so. If you want to write a letter. You’re perfectly free to do so. But if that letter has as its purpose to do damage. And also to camouflage your past conduct. As an individual. The president relied on for loyalty. Who gave his confidence to me. Well, that is a disgusting disgrace. I say that as an American, a red blooded American. Whose family members have gone to war. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Those of you who listen to this program know, in June of last year, President Trump asked to meet with me after one of my programs on Fox. He wanted to talk about Iran. I’m not going to discuss what occurred in that meeting. It was a very important meeting, as it turned out. He actually asked me in May. I had to go. Well, at a family member, it was very sick, so I couldn’t meet right away. And he said, Look, when you come back, I’d like to meet with you. So I came back, met with him for about an hour and a half. A few others. And then I left. And within minutes. This lowlife reprobate Tucker guitar. Olsen went online and wrote his infamous. Is an infamous screed that if we were to bomb the nuclear sites in Iran and if the Israelis were to go in, there would be World War three. We’d lose tens of thousands of soldiers and on and on with his usual B.S.. Is mentally ill, Self-serving, contemptible B.S.. He hates this country. He hates you. And he’s made it abundantly clear. So who leaked that? Who leaked that? To this piece of, you know, work from that piece of, you know, what? Turns out it was Joe Kent. He leaked it because apparently he saw me leaving the anteroom to the Oval Office. He leaked it to Tucker Carlson. That’s what he did. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Let me ask you folks a question. The vast majority of the men and women in our military. The vast majority of our men and women in the military who are on those carriers who are on those. Those other ships were flying those jets, flying those bombers. The vast majority. Our Christians. And yet you have these people. Who want us to lose this war. Who are undermining our military. For their own personal pursuits. Grift. Agendas. Thane. Who claim. To support white Christian men. Do they support white Christian men? Is that what they’re doing today, supporting white Christian men now? What are they supporting? Islamists. Islamists, Islamists, Nazi dictators in Iran. They’re undermining our military. They’re undermining our commander in chief, a white Christian man. They’re undermining our secretary of defense. A white Christian man. They want to talk race. Well, let’s talk race. Let’s talk religion. Let’s do it. You’ve got the Jewish state and a majority Christian country, Judeo Christian, shoulder to shoulder trying to fight an Islamist Nazi terrorist regime that wants to blow the Jews off the face of the earth and the Christians off the face of the earth. And these little bastards. These Lilliputians, these nobodies. We saw their way into government. Useful in a podcast platforms to undermine us. A majority Christian nation. And then they claim to be white supremacists who stand for Christianity while they’re destroying Christianity and Judaism and everything else. I’m learning more and more about these numbers, quote unquote, of these influencers, the more I get into this podcaster business. And let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen. Much of it is absolutely fraudulent. Fraudulent. The numbers. Our manipulated. Some of these entities. Buy ads. Listen to me. That are focused on overseas audiences. On the Internet. And they run exclusively in foreign countries. Listen to me. I’m telling you how this works, because some of the experts have been tapping their brains. They’ve been informing me. And they spend a lot of money on these ads. And these platforms spend a lot of money on these ads. Because you see, it doesn’t matter if the eyes come from Pakistan or Bolivia or Qatar or wherever, eyes or eyes. It doesn’t matter if they’re American eyes or something else. And that’s how it’s monetized. So this is how they cheat on the algorithms they come in. This is the great secret. No one’s allowed to talk about. Well, I’m talking about it. So they draw in these foreign viewers. And these woke Reich neo fascist isolationists who are trashing our president, trashing our military, trashing our country. Their audience isn’t red blooded American. Some are, of course, but not most. Their audience isn’t mostly MAGA that loves our president and loves our military and wants us to win this war. When they’re trashing Jews, they’re not only speaking to Americans, they’re speaking to Islamists in Pakistan. In Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Who would love it. Love it. Why do you think they play clips of these people? They play clips of these people in mosques in Iran, in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. And they become famous in these countries. I think I’m going to buy a house in Qatar. I don’t doubt it. I don’t doubt it. But he won’t step foot in Israel. And he’s not the only one. What do you think for what this gets most of his audience from? What do you think that little Adolf bastard gets the most of his audience from? Of course, the lowest of the low lives here, but also overseas. He’s a punk. He’s a nothing. Owens. Same damn thing. Same damn thing. You know, Megan Kelly’s very, very lucky. Very, very lucky that I have a wonderful wife and family. And producer and crew. Because I was going to cream her. Once and for all in ways that she has never experienced. Mr. Producer, was I not? And I was talked out of it. I had people sending me information over the transom that you wouldn’t believe. But I’m going to leave it. I’m going to leave it. I’m not going to go. Further into the gutter with these people where their heads are. I’m not going to do it. Any moron could do it. I’m not going to do it. I’m just not. There’s Alex Jones. He’s not only broke, he’s stupid. Stop it. He’s like a. An addled homeless guy. Sitting in a beach chair on the corner somewhere in Manhattan. Yelling at the top of his lungs. Oh, the neocons under neocons and the neocons. Now you’re just a Colin Powell. You have the IQ of a watermelon. These are what we’re dealing with. People you’d never socialize with. People you don’t want to be around. They all have their own weird. Psychoses going on. You’ll get this guy. Bannon is a crook. He’s an embedded crook. It’s got videotapes. With Epstein, he won’t release him and he still acts like nothing’s ever happened. Not held to account for anything. Just keeps burping on and on and on. It’s incredible. President is right. They think they have influence, but they don’t. Now they’re going to they’re going to bring this guy Kent on to draw more and more eyes. Because that’s how they work. The more crazy as they are, the more viewers they get. Not you. And then that will be. Pushed through the system at the Drudge Report at Media I. On Mars now on CNN. They will use it against the president. They will use it against our armed forces. They will give aid and comfort to the enemy. Already, Bernie Sanders said, I don’t agree with it. We’re doing a better job than Joe Camp. But on this, I’m with them. Every Democrat virtually has said the same thing. They hate this guy, Ken. But. He’s a useful idiot. He’s a useful idiot. And they like they’re useful idiots, don’t they, Marjorie? Trader. Green. So she cares about the green. Marjorie. Trader GREENE. She gets more face time. I won’t comment on that either. She gets more face time than she ever got. She’s a fraud. They’re all frauds. Think about it. Just think about it. And so, of course, Kent. They’re going to tell you about all his service in the military, which is laudatory. He should get a great deal. Credit for this. You get no credit. For leaking. In stabbing a commander chief in the back and undermining our military. Isn’t that right, General Mike Flynn? Isn’t that right, General Flynn? Your damn son posts what he posts. Comes to the defense of this guy. Are you going to do that to. Seriously? What a disgrace that would be. Those of us who have supported the general over the years. The people change. They just do. People change. Sometimes it’s inexplicable, sometimes it’s not. This guy, Kent. People are sending me. I have press releases he released in support of Israel that Israel and the United States are bound by democracy from 2022 Mr. Produce. In three years time, he’s turned into a Tucker Carlson. He’s turned into a bigot. In three years time, I don’t know what happened. I don’t care what happened. When you serve a president of the United States and you are in a senior senior position and intelligence is crossing your desk. You don’t talk to reporters. You don’t talk to the influencers. Slobs like guitars. You don’t do that. Oh, the goodwill you earned by serving in the United States military is watched when you undermine the United States military and the commander in chief. There’s no excuse for this. We have thousands and thousands of men and women who’ve done unbelievable. Tasks on behalf of the military in the United States. We, the people. Who go back in service, civilian and desert capacities. And they’re honorable. And they remain honorable. They remain heroes. When you get a position. The deputy director of national intelligence, how important you know how important that job is. You don’t sit there and leak, if that’s what he’s done? Apparently, yes, President said it. Others say he definitely did it on me. You don’t leak about who the president’s meeting with, who he’s talking to. All the rest of it. I oppose this war. Good. Then shut your mouth and leave. You don’t conduct yourself this way. All the parasites and cockroaches will take advantage of this. They will exploit it, whether it’s on the left, the Democrats in their media, whether it is the rope woke right neofascist who’ve been stabbing the president of the back and undermining our military. People talk about the horseshoe, how they meet. You know, I developed this horseshoe. I talked about this this political spectrum for 25 years. Like you and me, you look at the horseshoe, we’re at the bottom. We’re not right wing. We’re not left wing. We’re a constitutional conservatives. We are the core of why the nation was founded. We’re not right wing. We’re a constitutional concern. We’re not nationalists and populists. We believe in Americanism and constitutionalism. They’re the ones at the top who meet the fascists, Nazis, the Marxists, the Islamists. They reject the Americanism. They reject it. When’s the last time they spoke about it? When’s the last time any of these? And it is melon heads. Have tried to educate their audiences or convey to their audiences patriotism, allegiance to the country, how fantastic our country is, how fantastic our Constitution is, the declaration, our founders and frame. When is the last time they even talked about it? It’s the 250th anniversary of the founding of our country. And they’re trashing it and they’re undermining the president and they’re undermining the military. And they’re attacking Jews and Christians. They’re denying Judeo-Christian values that were the foundational principles of this country. They reject it. And then they tell you they’re America first. Then they tell you their MAGA. These people are going to destroy the midterm elections. Because too many people are going to sit out because they’re sick of these people. They’re sick and tired of it. They’re turning off, turning off them and everybody else. And that’s what little Adolf what this wants. He’s already said, don’t vote Republican. Just get vote Democrat. That’s basically what Carlson has said. They’re all saying marriage is dead. That’s you, Mr. and Mrs. America. You MAGA is what the Tea Party Magnus The Trump Revolution. The Reagan Revolution. Maggie’s constitutional concert. They’re telling you you’re all dead. You’re finished. You hate each other. We 92% of us support the president in this war effort. 0% of them do. 0%. The Democrats. The media. The neo fascist woke, right? They don’t support what you support. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
These Islamist bastards killed 46 Americans on October 7th, and as hostages, they took 12 hostages who were American. That’s enough of a reason to go to war. They killed over 600 of our soldiers in Iraq. And all told, when you count the Marines that they murdered and all the rest of were a thousand of our soldiers. And thousands of thousands of casualties of Americans. They tried to assassinate our president twice. And they’re building nuclear missiles to blow us off the face of the earth. And I got to hear that this isn’t an imminent threat. Not an imminent threat? No. So, says the genius Joe Kemp. And of course, his opinion is what should rule. Anybody vote for Joe Kent. He’s a one time congressman and then he couldn’t win again. His opinion, man, he should rule. Oh, and Tucker Carlson. He’s a genius. Oh, he knows everything. This guy. Just ask him. I’d like to take his DNA to determine if he’s actually a human being. I’ll tell you what, Tucker. You take your DNA and I’ll take my DNA. Let’s see what background in your. I don’t think you’re as pure as you think. I really don’t. I don’t think you’re pure at all. What do you think of that? And this guy for Winters. I’d love to see his DNA for one test. White supremacist. The guy’s got Mexican background. I’m a white supremacist. Now, you little puke. That’s what you are. And Alex Jones. Does it look like that guy’s ever missed a meal? Mr. Producer. No. Now people are messing around with the wrong person, aren’t they? I’ve only just begun our two in a few minutes. The remarkable article I want to share with you, as well as some comments by the president of the United States that I think you’ll want to hear. I’ll be right back.
Joe Kent and the anti Semites
President Donald Trump and his allies have come out in full force following Joe Kent's resignation as director of the National Counterterrorism Center on Tuesday.
Kent announced his unexpected resignation in a letter to Trump, citing concerns about the United States' military operation in Iran. Kent argued that Iran posed "no imminent threat" and that the United States was forced into the conflict on behalf of Israel, prompting backlash from the administration.
'He had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack.'
"As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives," Kent said in the letter.
Kent's resignation sent shock waves through the already fracturing MAGA world. Despite the outpouring of support from anti-war commentators, Kent was met with firm disapproval from Trump.

"I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security," Trump said in the Oval Office Tuesday. "Very weak on security. I didn't know him well, but I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy. But when I read his statement, I realized that it's a good thing that he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a much stronger statement, debunking many of Kent's statements she said were false.
"As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first," Leavitt said, pushing back on Kent's claim that Iran didn't pose an imminent threat. "This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum."
Leavitt went on to list Iran's offenses against the American people, citing its sponsorship of terrorism and nuclear ambitions. Leavitt also addressed Kent's claim that Israel forced the United States' hand in the conflict, calling the assertion "insulting and laughable."
"And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable," Leavitt said. "President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon."
"As someone who actually witnesses President Trump's decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what's in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First," she concluded.
