Lee Zeldin is assaulted on while campaigning

Back atcha.

What would you call it?

I donā€™t have to ā€œcallā€ it anything. He was charged with attempted 2nd degree assault.

It looked like he intended to stab him in the neck. Thatā€™s not where I would stab someone if I wanted to keep them alive.

With a plastic keychain?

I watched a video from another angle and it kinda looks like he was going for the microphone :confused:

Looked sharp though, wouldnā€™t want it going for my neck. Or anywhere.

Under charge. It was attempted murder.

Sure - itā€™s a self-defense weapon, and thatā€™s reflected in the charge.

The premise that he intended to murder Zeldin is pretty silly, though - and would be nearly impossible to prove.

:rofl:

If you say so.

Yet not impossible to put into a headline.

Iā€™d hate to be the guy that releases him and he upgrades weapons for a second try.

I do. And you know it.

Only a good guy with a plastic keychain can stop a bad guy with a plastic keychain

I certainly do not.

But donā€™t let me interrupt the pearl-clutching.

Clearly it was staged and the fix was in.

How else would Zeldin have gotten any attention?

From this angle, it kinda looks like he is trying to grab the microphone

From reading about this guyā€¦ I hope he finally gets the help that he obviously needs.

Maybe he wants to finish the job instead of flee.

So you will let me stab you as long as the weapon is plastic?

Wow. Not what I expected.
