The man who allegedly tried to stab Republican candidate for New York governor Lee Zeldin with a bladed weapon during a campaign stop on Thursday was released from jail within hours of his arrest on a felony charge — just as Zeldin had predicted.
David Jakubonis, 43, from Fairport, New York, was arraigned overnight in Perinton Town Court on a count of second-degree attempted assault stemming from the attack on Rep. Zeldin but was quickly released on his own recognizance.
In a tweet after the violent incident in Monroe County, Zeldin, who is running as a tough-on-crime candidate against incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, said he expected his alleged assailant to be back on the streets in no time.
“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,” the gubernatorial hopeful tweeted early Friday. “Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes. The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws.”

PING!.....................
So attempted assassination is now a minor offense…
Yet Social Media would have us all believe that the Overton Window has shifted to the right...
“His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were ‘you’re done’.
The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws.”
And run for office as a Democrat, and probably win.
They probably gave him taxi fare and a map to the Rep’s house.
Of course he was released. Perp tried to stab a Republican. It’s not like he walked into the Capitol and took selfies or anything violent or triggering like that.
They hate us and want us dead in the end.
Prepare and act ... or perish.
That law is about bail but I believe they could have held him as being a danger to society.
...what would have happened if a democrat running for the governor of the miserable Peoples’ Democratic Republic of New York had been attacked as Mr. Zeldin was and then almost immediately released...? the uproar from the media could be heard on the moon..... double standard anyone...??
See my tag line.

As long as it’s one of the undesirables, apparently yes.
Democrat assassins get away with shooting us Presidents — Reagan, Lincoln.
Of course they’d let him go.
Yes he was.........................
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” (also expressed as “troublesome priest” or “meddlesome priest”) is a quote attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170.
Di you ever get the feeling that a war is being waged but only one side is fighting?
. . . and dressing up in a costume and attending a rally is so felonious that it can result in over 2.5 years of detention without charge or trial.
It all depends on the target.
California let those feytenal dealers go to.
They didn’t show up for court.
He is a US Congressman the Feds should have stepped in and taken him in custody.
