Based on her language, apparently in the new world the left imagines, you aren’t even allowed to campaign for office against a Democrat. I guess they’d prefer that Democrats get to select their opponents now.

>Might it have been Zeldin’s running mate, lieutenant governor candidate Alison Esposito?

Thank you, Neo. I read on another site that the man who tackled the perp said that Ms. Esposito helped subdue him. I admire her action. Wondered if she was Zeldin’s wife. 🙂

Obviously he needs to upgrade his security protocols.

Reaction to the assault from Kathy Hochul: “I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!”

Geoffrey Britain:

Oh, really? States have people in them? Such a surprise!

That is irrelevant to the point I was making, which is that a state is not a person.

And that article was merely offered to give some history for the status of mentally ill persons and voting, not as an endorsement of its proposals. The operative part is this: “In this article we will review the literature about voting, the current voting laws…”

neo,

A State is entirely composed of persons. A State cannot be entirely absent of persons and be a State.

The article linked to consists of professionals that Jordan Peterson has recently piled scorn upon in the harshest of terms.

“We will also propose methods to improve implementation of voting by hospitalized psychiatric patients for upcoming elections.”

If someone is so psychiatrically impaired as to require hospitalization then that alone is prima facie evidence of their unfitness to vote. But it is not surprising that those on the left, as those ‘professionals’ surely are, now indicate a desire to give the asylum inmates even more societal influence.

Premature? Perhaps so. The State should be investigating the weapon in a serious and competent crime lab. Was the weapon dipped in a toxin; arsenic, cyanide, botulinum, or some other, for instance? Who knows? Who asks?

Is it not a little premature to claim with absolute confidence that the attacker was really trying to kill Zeldin?

It’s a shame only one side is actually fighting Civil War II.

I think geoffrey was being metaphorical,

as in the other thread, to hold any opposite view is crimethink, the cuban regime called it ‘dangerousness’ in the 90s

The thing is pointed, and the guy reportedly was going for the neck.

The weapon resembles the ‘My Kitty Plastic Self-Defense Keychain Weapon,’ which is designed to mimic a cat’s face with holes for its eyes and other cut-outs for its nose and whiskers.

Here’s a site that sells it.

https://www.divasfordefense.com/products/ninja-kitty-self-defense-keychain-ring-impact-self-defense

According to the “Description”: “It is made of an unbreakable lightweight ABS plastic. Laboratory tests have rated this plastic is[sic] as strong as metal!”

Ok, so probably not deadly, but could do some damage if inflicted on (as the site advises) “‘tender areas’ of the body and joints.”
