[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Maybe it was mentioned earlier in the thread but I did a quick check and didn't see it. Sandra Doorley, the District Attorney who charged Jakubonis with second degree assault is a co-chair of Zeldin's campaign. Because the charge was second degree and not first degree, Jakubonis was eligible for release. So, I don't think the repeated attempts to blame Jakubonis' release on progressives are warranted. To the contrary, Zeldin's own campaign co-chair is to blame.

My Republican dad has been ranting about this since it happened.  "NY is lawless, and laws must be applied to Rs and Ds equally!"  He trolls all the conservative news sites all day.

Funny thing is, he had NOT heard that the DA was Zeldin's co chair and made that charge that let the assailant walk.

can't wait to hear what the Feds find out.  (popping pop corn)[/quote]

We still don't even know that the assailant was a "Democrat."  The story floating around was that he was drunk, had no clue who Zeldin even was, but was supposedly told by someone that the guy on stage was "talking shit about veterans" (Jakubonis is apparently a Bronze Star Iraq veteran) and he took offense at it and went to take the microphone off of him.
