Gubernatorial candidate attacked
« on: July 22, 2022, 01:21:00 AM »
  Lee Zelden, governor of New York, attacked in Fairport;
    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19280822/congressman-lee-zeldin-attacked-at-campaign-event/

   Zelden, an Iraq war vet, grabbed and held the attackers wrist, as the crowd came to his aid..and
    rushed the attacker.  Alison Esposito, Zelden's running mate for Lt Gov, helped with the take-down.

   Here's the clincher... the attacker was released almost immediately..  Our governor is a total tyrant,
    even worse than Cuomo, the disgraced governor she replaced.

  The attack took place in Fairport, where my sister-in-law retired from teaching.  She and my youngest brother, live in nearby Penfield, both being affluent communities southwest of Rochester...
   
  Both Fairport and Penfield are loaded with liberals..they being along with them.

  Newsmax said Gov Hochul (Hokum) published Zelden's address and seemed to encourage harassment of
   the candidate..

To me, it looked like he had a double bladed contraption and going for the head or neck.
Could have been bad.

Yep released without bail!
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Apparently they had second thoughts..(probably due to adverse publicity)

  So they did finally haul him in .  https://www.theblaze.com/news/lee-zeldin-attack-suspect-david-jakubonis-arrested

Looks like there must be a federal law against attacking political candidates, so the Feds got him, even thought New York released him.

That they had to "think about it" says all that needs to be said.

That was hardly an attack. The guy got up in his face and put his hands on Zeldin but didn't try to hit him or choke him or do anything really that I could see but talk to him. Putting your hand on a person's arm is hardly an ATTACK however.

Not to say the guy wasn't out of line, he clearly was but it wasn't an attack.

That Zeldin went down was purely showmanship. He could have pulled his arm free easily enough as whoever it was took the guy down. But it looks better on camera if you go down and then you get to call it an attack even when it wasn't.

  Zelden is no Trump..he is not near as conservative as I would prefer, but he is likely the best we can expect, with
 the big "scab by the sea" (NY City) that numerically dominates our politics.

  The governor that is in place now was not elected, but put in place when crook Cuomo was dumped.  If anything, she is worse than him, on constitutional rights.
  She rose by election flukes, starting out as a town councilman in Hamburg, NY, a more or less affluent suburb of Buffalo (near the Bills stadium).

  Back then, she had an A rating with the NRA, but once in Albany, she switched completely,,becoming a rabid anti.
  Personally, I think she is a mental Joe Biden...and performs that way.

After the SCOTUS, using "emergency powers" the Demonrat dominated legislature gave to her, she has enacted some truly Draconian, anti gun measures.
 
    According to her..
In order for a CCW carrier to enter a business, the business would have to specifically welcome CCWs.

  Some areas, such as churches are deemed "sensative areas" and in order to carry therein, one must be part of a 'security team'.
  Checking further, just who could be on  a security team is limited to a point where very few could qualify.
  Sure, her stupid rules must be challenged, and the New York Rifle and Pistol Club, is already doing so.

  But why must that be necessary, just because there are some city people who resent anybody having constitutional rights?

  The murders are going on it the cities.. no reason they should try to crimp our way of living, since I cannot recall when the last killing took place in our county... other than deer, bear, beef, rabbits or coon...

  Dang idiots..still hoping for a breakup of some states, especially this one.

  BTW; dropping NRA membership..taking up NYSR&P Club membership.  I have been waiting for NRA to start taking NY State to court, since most of these cases would be test cases..setting the ground work for later trials.

  Haven't seen anything yet...

Well I did it!  As I said, i am letting my many years of NRA drop, primarily because I didn't see them do anything about our tyrannical governors of NY, when they would have been good, precedent setting cases for the whole country.

  So, I called the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, and joined up with those folks.  They are right now
   firming up a plan of action, and will be releasing it to members in a few days..
