Feds do NY States job and arrest Lee Zeldin’s attacker

[Failzero]

I doubt they expected him to do that.

Situational Awareness ( he was a WELL KNOWN problem child of that VFW community ) don’t make excuses for them

They make perfect sense. They kept a kid in jail awaiting trial for 3 years, for stealing a backpack. If convicted his sentence wouldn't be close to 3 years.

That kid had an idiot lawyer. All he had to do was file a motion for a speedy trial and the Judge would have had to either set an immediate trial date (I believe the standard is within a month) or order the charges dropped. One of the first questions asked at arraignment is if the defendant is willing to waive his speedy trial rights. That right can always be reasserted.

I know you do not, but I was attacked for saying there was no evidence he was a lefty...and now it turns out I was right.



The guy did something stupid while drunk. I am not sure I disagree with the law, is he really a threat to the community?

I’m gonna say, yes. Because he could get drunk enough to try again and maybe succeed?

Plus, and I’m now being less than sarcastic, I think the bail law as it currently exists in NY is absolutely wrong-headed to the extent that it allows anyone charged with a violent felony to be entitled to ROR (released on their own recognizance). The correct bail amount? Who knows? But zero dollars? Whew.

I liked that as a defense attorney since it was my job to provide legal help to those accused. I would have hated that as a prosecutor because it is absolutely mindless. And dangerous to the community, too.

I doubt they expected him to do that.

“We had no idea” is now a very tired excuse that really isn’t one.

You goons were jumping up and down liberal violence when… again… as usual… it’s a right winger. Add him to the long ass list.

You shouldn't have stolen the backpack, dummy.

Suspected attacker of GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin arrested on federal assault charge | CNN Politics

The man accused of attempting to stab New York gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin on stage at a campaign event has been arrested on a federal assault charge, a spokesperson for the US Attorney's Office in the Western District of New York said, after he was released on his own recognizance...

www.cnn.com

Terrific news! The fucker shouldn’t have been out on his own recognizance. The NY bail law is pretty fucked up.

They still didn't charge him with attempted murder so it's still a joke.

Turns out the attacker was a drunk Iraqi war veteran. He’s a nutty right winger who just got drunk and wanted to fight, or maybe a mental health victim.

According to the criminal complaint filed Saturday, Jakubonis, an Iraqi War Army veteran, allegedly told authorities he had consumed whiskey on the day of the campaign event and "must have checked out" as he walked on the stage and asked if Zeldin was disrespecting veterans. Jakubonis told authorities he did not know who Zeldin was at the time.

I don’t believe you know your audience. You aren’t speaking to goons. Just people who disagree with your usual brainless smack talk. And who is talking about liberal violence? Other than your imagination?

Violence is violence. The political affiliation of a would be assassin isn’t the issue and never has been. Even if this latest one is a so-called conservative, the issue is still whether he should be simply walked out the door after an attempted assassination.

It seems to me to be the appropriate charge, too.

Lol, lies again. Never stops lying, ever.

He needs to be locked up for 50 years.
