How can they let him out? Fury after military vet who tried to assassinate NY governor candidate Lee Zeldin with 'Made in USA' blade is still roaming free under state's lax bail laws as politician says he's ramped up security for remainder of campaign

  • Military veteran David Jakubonis, 43, was released without bail hours after he attacked Zeldin, who, fittingly, was giving a speech on bail reform
A man who attempted to stab US Rep. Lee Zeldin at a New York campaign rally on Thursday is still roaming free as the New York gubernatorial candidate said his ‘guard’ was completely down when he saw the attacker approach him wearing a veteran's hat.

Yes I would say to anyone who told me they were going to physically illegally enter a government building that you shouldn't be surprised if you get shot. Don't illegally force entry into government buildings. Protest all you want. Trespassing etc is not protected.

Eliminate the qualifier word "government", and I'm completely in agreement with this sentiment.

"The attempted murderer was released on his own recognizance last night. He didn’t spend one night in jail for trying to murder a sitting US congressman and candidate for governor."

Meanwhile, January 6th suspects are still rotting in a hole for taking selfies and walking through velvet ropes.

They did invade Nancy's house and piss off the Meghan Markle of the capitol. Nance's husband may have missed a stock trade that day that caused him to lose a million dollars or two.

Protest does not equal attack. So why mention it? I mean you are really boxing yourself in with this, if you think the Governor owns any responsibility, but want to give Trump a pass for 1/6.

I seriously don't think most of the people who went into the capital on Jan 6 knew what they were going to do once they got there. They didn't start any fires or anything. You just had folks goofing off inside the building.

Carrying sharp weapons to the oppositions rally as in hopes of attacking said person is premeditated.

Politicians arent people.

You really want them to use this case to slap us with more laws comrade?

What are you arguing about? The guy attempted to stab a sitting congressman and candidate for governor in the neck and didn't even spend the night in jail and you act like it's no big deal. I don't understand what your point is? I'm not arguing for more laws, I arguing for the government to enforce the laws we already have.

There are certainly many different gradations of responsibility for 1/6, no one is arguing differently. But when Trumpsters casually refer to the whole thing as people just taking selfies or benignly protesting, that's just ridiculous.

The guy got up and kept on with his speech. Am I supposed to react more strongly than the victim?

Maybe he's a tougher man than you are? Did you watch the video and watch the assailant swing his arm towards his neck? Had the congressman not grabbed him by the arm he might have connected.

Sure he is tougher than me. Doesnt change anything.

I said from the start the guy should be arrested and spend time in jail. I think that is enough to say.

"... the right of the people peaceably to assemble..."

Some people can spot a comma in one amendment, but miss an entire word in another amendment.

You bet it’s a contest. And the stakes are the continuing survival of the Republic. Ever single Democrat candidate for every office from Dog catcher to President has to be voted out of office.

That's certainly a reasonable position. You think maybe you've been brainwashed?
