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.”

Don’t forget McKinley. Assassinated by an anarchist.

Blood on her hands.

Exactly.

[1Old Pro]

So attempted assassination is now a minor offense…

Only if the target is a sitting Republican Congressman or Supreme Court Justice appointed by a Republican.

Only if it’s not a D.

The government doesn't work for the people anymore! And when I say government that includes governors who are hell-bent on ruling with an iron fist as dictators!! Our rally cry should be SECEDED from the union! These bastards don’t work for the people no more. If I lived in New York I would be up in arms about the lax corrupt Soros cronies! This is the problem Why New York is going to the crap heap! The crime there is astronomical because of those that wield the law-enforcement’s hand!!!

Wait a minute. I'm kinda fond of the United States

Why don't we just kick out the enemies (sanctuary cities) instead?

Disenfranchise them because of their illegal elections.

[silent majority rising]

They probably gave him the knife.

[gloryblaze]

He used a self-defense (or offensive in this case) cat key fob.

[JoJo354]

YES

...the Feds should have stepped in and taken him in custody.

Hey FEDs: It's David Jakubonis, 43, from Fairport, New York,
