GOP Candidate For Governor Lee Zeldin Attacked On Stage At Campaign Rally

 The attacker stepped up on stage and started saying "You're done, you're done" while holding one of those two finger rigid plastic, tow finger knuckle tools with spike designed to look like  cat ears that are usually marketed to women.  Zeldin grabbed the guys arm to control the weapon for several moments until several rally supporters jumped on stage and tackled the guy

Weapon used    

When interviewed after the incident, Zeldin stated that the attacker would probably be released within hours without bail due to New York's current bail laws.

Several hours later.............

Gov . Katherine Hochul made the usual  "Violence like this has no place in New York" comment.

I'm just wondering if the guy would have been released without bail if she had been the intended target.

 Oh well, just another day in The Peoples Not So Demokratik Republik Of New Yorkistan
