Democrat losers keep physically attacking Republicans and pro-Trump candidates.
Why should they care? Maxine Waters and others all but told him to go out, seek out Republicans, and do such things. She's a Congressman, so it must be at least somewhat OK to do. And masked Antifa leftists keep rioting and smashing things, mostly without even getting busted. Why not give it a try?
As Democrats keep whipping up their constituents into hate-filled rages, however light on facts, I don't see this trend slowing any time soon.
Farzad Fazeli, 35, was arrested on suspicion of attempting to stab a Republican Congressional candidate at the Castro Valley Fall Festival on Sunday, Sept. 9, 2018.
A Castro Valley man shouting profanities about President Trump attacked a Republican congressional candidate who was working an election booth at a town festival, threatening him and trying to stab him with a switchblade, authorities and the candidate said Tuesday.
Farzad Vincent Fazeli, 35, was jailed after the alleged Sunday attack on Rudy Peters at the Castro Valley Fall Festival. Alameda County prosecutors charged Fazeli on Tuesday with a felony count of making criminal threats and misdemeanor counts of exhibiting a deadly weapon and possessing a switchblade. No one was seriously injured. In an interview, Peters said he had never been concerned about his safety prior to Sunday, though his wife has often warned him to be careful.
“It’s a shame,” he said. “People are just polarized right now, and this country’s divided and it’s just a mess. It shouldn’t be that way.”
Sheriff’s deputies responded at about 3:45 p.m. to a report of a possible knife attack at the festival on Castro Valley Boulevard. According to officials, witnesses told deputies that Fazeli approached Peters in an “aggressive manner” at his booth, and made “disparaging remarks” about the GOP and “elected officials.”
“All of a sudden we hear someone screaming, “F— Trump, f— Trump!” Peters recalled. He said the man raised his middle finger and was “standing right in front of the booth.”
Peters had been sitting with Joseph Grcar, a Republican state Assembly candidate. He said they were both “kind of shocked” by the outburst, but that the man seemed like he was walking off. “The next thing you know,” Peters said, “he stops and turns around and says, ‘I’ll show you,’ and runs at the booth.”
You have to admit that it has been Republicans who have consistently pooh-poohed the idea of knife-safety legislation. This man was using a switchblade, which were largely banned in 1958, because juvenile gangs were using them to deadly effect. Public awareness grew with films and plays such as West Side Story.
It is also the right that has consistently fought against mental health funding, going back to Reagan when he was governor of California. It seems probable that this man will be found to have mental health issues.
Please, take off your partisan lenses, and look at the reality of things.
would you be posting in this thread if it was that way ?
Aren't you at all worried how unhinged some of these people have become? And it's been like this a long time. Even the jerk cops who kill unarmed Black people happen to also live and serve in democratic dominated areas. Most of these mass shooting have been done by crazy people that lean towards leftist thinking. Is it something about this party that has turned normal people into crazy, violent, blood thirsty whack jobs? All the most dangerous cities are dominated by democrat policies. You don't hear so much about this happening in a republican controlled area. Republican controlled areas may sometimes be poor, but you don't have to worry about some drive by shooting going on.

Police involved shooting happen all over the country in cities and rural areas, the reason you hear about the ones in big cities more is because if their proximity to media and population.
It's hard for a protest to gather steam in a town of say 2,000 where the closest media outlet in 80 milesaway.
And no, most mass shootings have not been because of leftist, that's you guys on the right believing fake profiles and then not caring when the media debunks it .
And you are wrong about crime in Republican towns ae well, the largest Republican controlled city is Indianapolis , and it has a worse crime rate than Chicago.
These liberals need caged. They should not be allowed to own firearms since they can’t control their emotions. They and their ideology are the primary force behind mass shootings. They can’t have civil conversations. They believe the world owes them something. They believe that their blue collar hard working neighbor should take care of their children’s education. They obviously have severe emotional issues. They demand higher minimum wages when minimum wage wasn’t never meant to support a family. What really concerns me is they ***** about minimum wage jobs and a huge majority of them don’t go to college or trade schools even though the government and other institutions have a huge amount of “free”
Money they can take advantage of..
My kids didn’t even know what welfare was until they were adults and were appalled that people would take money, as a way of life, without working for it.

This fib has been repeated over and over in this forum. Every time, the liberals telling the lie have been smacked down, refuted, and generally had their noses rubbed in it.
Now it looks like the leftist fanatics think enough time has gone by, that people would have forgotten how wrong the liberals were, and they can start re-telling the same lie and get people to believe it.
So, once again....
It used to be that a citizen could petition a court to have someone committed to a mental institution, and the court could grant such commitment if enough valid evidence was presented.
This changed in the 1960s and 70s.
In 1967 two Democrats and a Republican in California's state legislature came up with the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, designed to end INVOLUNTARY commitments of mentally ill, alcoholic, etc. people into large mental institutions. The LPS Act was hailed by liberals all over the country as putting an end to eeevil government practices of dictating to helpless victims where they would go and what treatments they would get whether they liked it or not. It was overwhelmingly passed by California's Assembly and Senate, and finally signed by Governor Ronald Reagan in 1967. Similar laws were quickly passed all over the country, advocated mostly by liberal groups and do-gooders.
The liberal ACLU kept pushing this agenda to get these patients out of mental institutions, and finally resulted in 1975 (coincidentally Reagans' last year as Governor) in the U.S. Supreme Court handing down a decision in O'Connor vs. Donaldson (422 US 563). This Court decision announced a new Constitutional right: The mentally ill could not be forced to stay in such institutions if they were not an actual threat to others. This opened the floodgates and let huge numbers of patients, in various degrees of helplessness (and evil intent such as potential mass shooters), out of the institutions.
When it was discovered that these laws and court decisions had the effect of putting many people who could not, in fact, take care of themselves (and who might even grab a gun, go into a school, and start randomly shooting people) out on the street, the liberals did a fast 180, hastily forgot about their long, enthusiastic nationwide advocacy and support of the agenda, and invented a completely new accusation: That it was Ronald Reagan alone who had "kicked all those poor people out of their nice, safe hospitals and made them homeless".
From Wikipedia:
The Lanterman–Petris–Short (LPS) Act (Cal. Welf & Inst. Code, sec. 5000 et seq.) concerns the involuntary civil commitment to a mental health institution in the State of California. The act set the precedent for modern mental health commitment procedures in the United States. It was co-authored by California State Assemblyman Frank Lanterman (R) and California State Senators Nicholas C. Petris (D) and Alan Short (D), and signed into law in 1967 by Governor Ronald Reagan. The Act went into full effect on July 1, 1972. It cited seven articles of intent:
•To end the inappropriate, indefinite, and involuntary commitment of mentally disordered persons, people with developmental disabilities, and persons impaired by chronic alcoholism, and to eliminate legal disabilities;
•To provide prompt evaluation and treatment of persons with serious mental disorders or impaired by chronic alcoholism;
•To guarantee and protect public safety;
•To safeguard individual rights through judicial review;
•To provide individualized treatment, supervision, and placement services by a conservatorship program for gravely disabled persons;
•To encourage the full use of all existing agencies, professional personnel and public funds to accomplish these objectives and to prevent duplication of services and unnecessary expenditures;
•To protect mentally disordered persons and developmentally disabled persons from criminal acts.
The Act in effect ended all hospital commitments by the judiciary system, except in the case of criminal sentencing, e.g., convicted sexual offenders, and those who were "gravely disabled", defined as unable to obtain food, clothing, or housing [Conservatorship of Susan T., 8 Cal. 4th 1005 (1994)]. It did not, however, impede the right of voluntary commitments. It expanded the evaluative power of psychiatrists and created provisions and criteria for holds.
