A 43-year-old man accused of attacking Representative Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.) with a sharp object at a campaign stop in upstate New York on Thursday evening was charged with a felony and released from custody just hours after his arrest, police said.

Zeldin, who is New York’s Republican gubernatorial candidate, was giving a speech on bail reform at a stop on his “Unite to Fire Hochul” bus tour in Perinton when David G. Jakubonis allegedly charged at him and pulled out a sharp object.

The Antifa Zombies are getting some instruction in assassination. This one was close to being successful. Very close.

If the security people for GOP candidates are competent, they will be studying these videos closely. Somebody taught this young idiot what to try for, and they will certainly try it again, and again.

Here is what the commie zombie was attempting to do:

Less than a half minute from the small slice to unconsciousness, and then inevitable death.


Very graphic content warning.
Early on Monday in Brisbane, Australia, a group of men were involved in a fight in a shopping center. One of the men had a knife & stabbed another in the neck. Lauie Michael Tagaloa collapsed at the scene & died.

This guy would have been in real trouble if instead of assaulting Zeldin with a knife he had strolled through the Capitol Building on January 6 taking selfies.

Long ago G. Gordon Liddy said sometimes knives are more effective than guns. Because they’re always loaded and never go BANG when you use them. Maybe it’s time for a “serious national discussion” about knife violence
