New York Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Lee Zeldin's Knife-Wielding Attacker <i>Immediately</i> Released With <i>No Bail</i>

New York Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Lee Zeldin's Knife-Wielding Attacker Immediately Released With No Bail

Of course.

The Regime gives a green light to the crimes it supports.

Larry O'Connor

@LarryOConnor
The State of New York immediately releasing @leezeldin's attacker with no-cash bail is the best argument for electing Lee Zeldin that Lee Zeldin could have made.

Kyle Shideler

@ShidelerK

If @leezeldin was a Democrat, his attacker would be facing terror charges from a federal jail and everybody knows it. A two-tiered system of justice is not sustainable.

Deb Heine notes that New York Governess Kathy Hochul has been using eliminationist language regarding Republicans and her opponent, all but "putting a target" on them, as the left once accused Sarah Palin.

Thursday morning, Hochul fired off an email to her supporters inaccurately describing "Big Lie Lee" and his entourage as "far right extremists" who were kicking off a "MAGA Republican" bus tour across the state to "peddle dangerous lies, misinformation, and his far-right agenda."
...
Her campaign website uses the same inflammatory eliminationist language, describing Zeldin as an "anti-abortion extremist" on the "extreme fringes of the party," and in league with "insurrectionists."

Here's the weapon that Hochul's Hitman was preparing to gouge Hochul's opponent with:

She branded him an "extremist" who is "dangerous" for New York in an internet campaign ad -- a threat, in other words, that must be stopped, by any means necessary. See the link for that.

Nice Deb also reports that Zeldin predicted his would-be assassin would be immediately released without bail.

@leezeldin
His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were "you're done", but several attendees, including @EspositoforNY, quickly jumped into action & tackled the guy.
Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes.
The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY's laws.

You don't have to be a psychic to predict these things. You just have to pay attention.

Lee Zeldin gave a press conference today, speaking a lot about reforming New York's insane laws.

Here's video of the Hochul's Hitman seizing Zeldin by the arm and brandishing an odd-looking knife as he says "You're done."

56 I think its NY policy, that crime didn't reach a high enough threshold so they had to release the guy without bail.

The people in New York surrendered control of their state to the lawless commies years ago either through apathy or appeasement.

No females who post here if they knew anything about Hochul would support her and they certainly wouldn't now. I imagine that there is also no woman here thinks women would automatically do. Better job "In charge". The Hochul rhetoric is appalling but I don't know if she personally saw it and I don't think she's sending out hit men

106 It is difficult not to sense a theme here with multiple Republican politicians being violently attacked by crazed leftists stirred up through insane rhetoric by Democrats, and even see a direct path to the sitting governor's door. Perhaps in time maybe we'll find out that the party was related to this or more probably its just an event that Democrats are not exactly upset about.

But its not like this guy has a chance in hell of winning the job, so there'd be no reason for Hochul to hire a crazed assassin.

As for the legal reaction, as long as its the same as for everyone else in the state, shrug. Politicians aren't special.

In '64 at Cal a gang of thug lead by a violent America hater "Mario Savio" patrolled "The Gate"(by Strawberry Creek on your map) with their F. U. C. K. signs. Anyone fool hardy/brave enough to say America was a good country was beaten by the FUCK signs.

Right out of 1984 the Press (MSM now) said the beatings were " peaceful protests" and the anti pro American talk was called "the Free Speech movement"!

This was 58 years ago. Violent liberals were "Free Speech; peaceful protesters"!

The change, and it is small, is that El Rusbo pointed out how bigoted the Press was/is. But that was over 20 years after Brutal Mario Savio. Who BGTW is still a hero for libs!

141 I'm going to repost something I put in the Morning Report (with a couple of edits for clarity), because I am perfectly happy to paint this entirely as Hochul's fault and claim that this is her responsibility.

It's a simplification, but they claim that Donald Trump committed an attempted insurrection when he told rally participants to calmly walk over to the Capitol and peacefully demonstrate because some people from that demonstration entered the Capitol Building. That being the case, Hochul telling her supporters to go disrupt her opponent's rally means that it is *not* simply bad luck or coincidence when that opposition candidate faced an assassination attempt.

That is Hochul's fault by their own standards. She's an incumbent looking to preserve her position and she unleashed violent revolutionaries against her opponent in an effort to subvert democracy in what is, in essence, an act of state-level insurrection.

No more double-standards. This is Hochul's fault.

173 While Rep. Zeldin is a candidate for NY governor, he is also a sitting Member of the US House of Representatives. As such, the attempted assassination is a federal offense under 18 U.S.C. § 351, which is punishable by up to life in prison (death if the attempted assassination was successful). I'm sure AG Garland will get right on this federal crime, if they can find the perpetrator now that NY has released him into the wild without bail.

According to the standards of her party, she absolutely did send that hitman and his actions are her fault. This is essentially the same argument they're making about Trump with regard to Jan. 6. He encouraged people to go to the Capitol, and so every action is his fault and those actions were an assault on the Republic.

These are *their* standards. Hold them to those standards. Hochul encouraged people to go disrupt Republican campaign events. One of those people tried to kill a candidate. That action is on Hochul under the tenets of their own rules. It is her fault for inciting a revolutionary act.

If it isn't Hochul's fault, it isn't Trump's either. They need to choose which approach they want, or backpedal and try to rationalize away the obvious conclusion in full view of the public - regardless of how preposterous that rationalization is.

This is an example of how people in NY have allowed the commies to take over their state through appeasement to the left.

Zeldin will drop this just like when Paul Ryan joined hands with Pelosi after Hodgkins shot up a baseball field of Republican reps to proclaim that "violence" wasn't political.

Hochul never had a chance of being defeated by a Republicans ceding the state to the commies is exactly my point.

The fact that Zeldin and the GOP are not going to go around and directly blame Hochul for this attack, while the Dems are currently blaming Trump for the "deaths" of police officers on J6 (of which there are none, nada, zero) is merely a single example of what "ceding the state to the commies" looks like.

I believe it - this sounds a lot like what I've heard under the radar about how it went down. The official explanation was always crap, and there were multiple eyewitnesses who saw a missile headed towards the plane. So, the Navy fucked up and shot it down, and then everyone involved executed a massive coverup and put out an idiot "explanation" since they knew the MSM had their backs.

It also supports the idea that there was no premeditated "plot", it was just some low level crewman who didn't know the difference between a blue missile and a white one. Ie, a training round vs a live one.

Abrams ran unopposed in her primary and got 727K votes. There were about 30K votes that were JUST Abrams, there was no vote for the down ballot candidates. Only 690K voted for Lt Gov and under 700K for other down ballot offices in the Dem primary.

Kemp was in a competitive race, which he won handily, but it was still competitive. 1.2M voted in the GOP primary and Kemp got 888K votes.

Primary voting has been a strong predictor of voter enthusiasm in the past and closely maps to general election results. Kemp should win the race by 10 points at least.

302 Prosecutors need to have discretion on how to approach a case, because each case has to be considered in its own rights.

A burglar who steals jewelry from a store to feed his crack habit should be leaned on harder than a mom who steals formula for her baby. That's prosecutorial discretion in action and is the right way of approaching justice.

The problem isn't this feature of law, its that the prosecutors are using it as a political weapon and acting without justice or reason. They are being fools with their power to decide how cases should be approached and that happens when you put radical lunatics in power.

323 Pro tip to those considering a Hello Kitty fighting implement. Break down, shell out the bucks, get a Kabar. Put your thumb on the blade where it says Oneida or Kabar. Slides in the rib cage a lot easier.

The perp allegedly told Zeldin "You're done" which means the intention was to inflict bodily harm enough to take the candidate off the campaign trail, or worse. The "kitty" isn't manufactured as a sharpened weapon, but it can certainly be sharpened enough to penetrate skin, and above the shoulders there are plenty of arteries and veins close enough to the skin's surface to be punctured or torn.

I guess it depends on what you mean by that. If you mean "don't stoop to their rhetoric and always treat your opponent as if he's your best friend" then okay we agree.

But evil doesn't become good just because your opponent did something. If you abandon everything you stand for in the desperate need to win, then why on earth should anyone vote for either of you?

Let us assume that Hochul literally met this lunatic in the middle of the night under a bridge and paid him a suitcase full of cash to kill her political opponent. Should we, then, hire hit men to kill our political opponents? Of course not.

The moment he approached threateningly with a weapon he committed assault. The moment he touched Zelden he committed battery. The fact that he had a likely illegal weapon it was likely aggravated assault.

It may look goofy - but you could definitely kill someone with that if you hit them hard in the neck, like he the attacker demonstrated.

I know wages aren't even close to keeping up with inflation. How long can this go on? And come Christmas time, how are the Joneses going to keep up with the Smiths?

So long as the MFM can convince people it's all the fault of Trump and white supremacy, people can put up with this as 'the new normal' forever.

480 The key is that Biden has to be charged, too. That's the failure in the system.

We have video evidence of Hunter Biden committing a number of felonies. He has yet to be arrested.

Yep. And that's the trick. Once Joe (or Hunter) is charged, the laws about the drunk guy being charged with a felony and going on a list for peeing in an alley without realizing a school is one block over in the town he's visiting get changed. Because then the laws affect the "important" people.

We are so far from a republic I doubt 96% of the nation could tell you what the word even means.

551 Former President Donald Trump’s potential return to the Oval Office will include an effort to purge the unaccountable administrative state that creates and directs vast amounts of far-left policy in the federal government, a report Friday by Axios detailed.

If reelected in 2024, Trump is planning to cut about 50,000 administrative state employees to rein in unelected technocrats in federal government agencies that have great influence over policies impacting American workers, according to the outlet.

.. I had previously seen a report that Trump's first goal is to make it legally possible (it is already Constitutionally possible) for the head of the Executive branch (i.e. the POTUS) to fire anybody in the Executive branch.

One thing I find interesting about the Korean language is that it, like many other languages, has informal and formal dialects. When dealing with a superior, you speak formally. They also have a word for suspending those rules and allowing people to speak informally and directly to superiors for the purposes of airing grievances or overcoming obstacles. It's systematized.

590 "Former Vice President Mike Pence and his security detail feared for their lives..."
-------------------------
This warping of language to give the patina of legalism is why we cannot have nice things in society. The 'fear of imminent death or serious injury' specifically comes from self defense statutes and caselaw. Since apparently no Secret Service agent nor Pence himself actually acted, then they were not by law afraid of personally suffering serious injury or death.

People are convicted all the time claiming their magic words of fear of death made their preemptive attacks 'reasonable' under the law but juries have decided differently. To fear death or serious injury, you must demonstrate that your opponent(s) have the means to hurt you, demonstrated the intent to hurt you, have the opportunity to hurt you, the threat is personal and imminent, and that your self defense action taken was both reasonable and proportional to the threat posed.
From all reports, Pence and his team had none of those other on Jan 6 because his team whisked him out of there. They may have believed something might have happened had they stayed but that is not enough to claim what they did.

--------------------------
Security teams (other than official Secret Service protection for Prezzie, etc.) have the same restrictions on self defense on the behalf of others that individuals do. The best security teams are anticipatory and use specific techniques to isolate and remove a threat with minimal force. They also have to have enough reserves to handle another threat that may be using a distraction to hide the real threat. The facts of how it is done are out there if you care to google it. Takes a lot of manpower though and most candidates don't want their money spent that way.
