The man reportedly wrestled with Zeldin but was subdued by someone else at the rally. Zeldin was not hurt in the attack and finished his speech.

Lt. Gov candidate Alison Esposito was cut on the hand while helping subdue the attacker

The attempted assassin David G. Jakubonis, 43, from Fairport, New York was charged with second degree felony and later released from custody.

WTF?

Bud, Bud... you have to understand.

If you attack a conservative, no problem.

But if you are a bodega clerk being attacked by a criminal, you get charged with murder and thrown in jail.
At least until the video of the encounter makes such a fool of the NYC DA that he finally has to drop the charges. 🙄

@Thinkerbell This wasn't even in the city. This was in the upstate husk of a town Rochester

@Thinkerbell It gets even stupider, Alison Esposito, Zeldin's running mate WAS WOUNDED in the attack. Yet this dirtbag was still only charged with attempted assault.

Inside every Pics, Corvie, etc there is a lunatic like this oozing to spring
@Budwick The thing is, that could very well become reality. People are fed up with what is taking place these days and are ready for anything.

AWD and attempted murder for starters. But that is NY, where the two-tier justice system is alive and well.

Ah, he proved he was registered democrat😉
You make an assassination attempt on a political figure and are released, there’s a good chance you’ll try again. And no one sees this?
Oh, wait… he was trying to stab or cut his intended victim. Nothing to see here! Had he used a firearm, I wonder where the anti- gun people would be on this. Where would the interim NY Governor have been had the attempted assassin had a firearm been used in his attempt.
She needs to keep a sharp eye out.
There are no doubt others who would go after her too, thanks to her no cash bail laws.

@soar2newhighs she has been telling her supporters where he will be and encouraging them to show up at his events.
@AthrillatheHunt Can’t fault her for that. It’s public knowledge where candidates go.
I think Zeldin presents a very serious challenge to her. She’s no Andrew Cuomo.

if you can't go by sentencing and bail guidelines you do not need Federal funds in my opinion
Budwick · 70-79, M
@MarineBob Not exactly in the current administration wheelhouse, but still, a very good tactic.

If it’s a democrat trying to murder a republican, then it’s admissible.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@MrAboo if murder were broken down like that the results would be eye opening .
When the Acting Governor has a deal going with the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium, things like crime are irrelevant.

@soar2newhighs There will be a huge " Fire Kathy Hochul" rally Sunday near me. Thinking of going
The Feds charged him. I wonder what the internet NY Governorvthinks about that.
Buffalo bills stadium is her snd Jinny’s priority.
It would have been interesting To see her reaction had the guy had a firearm.

Just want to add some facts to this. He wasn't armed with a knife, it was a $10 My Kitty Plastic Self-Defense Keychain and the guy was drunk and he was an Iraq war Veteran.
@cassysassy Add them, that’s fine. He still attempted to assault Zeldin. But he has been released, and as I see it, he’s a potential threat.
cassysassy · 18-21, F
@soar2newhighs 🙄 again I'm not disagreeing with that.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@cassysassy Streetwise My Kitty Self-Defense Keychain

I heard that this morning. The world gets crazier daily.
New York's bail reform laws. 2nd degree attempted assault? SMDH
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
Someone tried to kill Led Zeppelin?
AbbySvenz · F
Well duh, he’s not brown enough.
Slade · 56-60, M
@AbbySvenz So no brown people commit felonies and are released bail free in this state?

Don't break your arm patting your self on the back. Your BLM grifters you so look up to have nothing but contempt for you
