When someone approaches uninvited with knife in hand coupled with verbal threats. No reasonable person is going wait around for them to use it. A reasonable person will perceive that as a real threat to cause serious bodily injury or death. At least that’s what my training taught me. What that guy did is not justifiable, nor is it normal acceptable behavior.

As for his release, being he is an Iraq war veteran he might have some psychological issues which need to be addressed in a more professional setting. Holed up in a jail cell might not be the best thing for him. But I don’t really know. There I said my peace and not once did I mention a political party or a media outlet.

Of course had a Democrat been attacked i'm sure that the same people trying to minimize this incident here would have been claiming it was nothing short of an insurrection.

If there was intent to do bodily harm with the knife I seriously doubt he would have been freed which makes it more likely he was just reaching for the mic.

Reading some media reports it appears he’s got some serious life and mental health issues which needs to be worked out, pronto. However, unless wonder bread is found insane his ‘issues’ are in no way an excuse for assaulting a political candidate with a dangerous weapon. It is wrong on so many levels. Though he may have been Released on Own Recognizance. I’d wager big money he’s going to be watched and hopefully the court orders some kind of therapy along with his jail time if found guilty. According some reports of his former neighbors thoughts he’s a “heavy drinker” and “a peculiar guy, he has social issues,” the ex-neighbor said. “He would say or do things like an adolescent would do.” “I always had this reservation about him,” the neighbor said. “He always had something not right with him.” As to your last comment. Unfortunately I can’t help but think that would be the case. Already they’re going full on Baghdad Bob telling us he just wanted to talk in the microphone or the weapon was only a kid’s hello kitty key chain. Me thinks this is what he has been charged with.

Thanks for the info. For him to be released means he is deemed not to be an imminent threat to society, and I still want to know where he stands.

The Neue Zürcher Zeitung comments:
"We have a lot more evidence to show the American people," Republican Liz Cheney declared at the end of Thursday's prime-time televised hearing. In classic Hollywood fashion, she was already stirring up interest for the sequel in September, when the committee investigating the storming of the Capitol a year and a half ago plans to resume public hearings. That's no accident: lawmakers hired a documentary filmmaker and former TV executive as a consultant to prepare their investigative findings for television audiences. His signature is unmistakable. The first "season," with eight hearings, was as exciting as a thriller, offering drama, catchy dialogue and unexpected stars. It evoked images that many will not soon forget: a raging Donald Trump hurling his food at the wall in the White House, drunken adviser Rudy Giuliani talking up the president's rash victory speech on election night, the bodyguards of the ever-so-loyal vice president saying goodbye to their loved ones in fear of their lives in the face of an angry mob. All this is best entertainment - if it were not grim reality. But is it more than an entertaining reappraisal of a traumatic event for the USA? Undoubtedly. The committee has worked out in detail that the former president must have been aware of his electoral defeat and still wanted to take every conceivable path to remain in power. Because none led to the goal, the only option was an escalation on January 6, 2021. Trump knew about his supporters' propensity for violence and fueled it. He watched the attack on the Congress building with satisfaction. Trump's closest allies pleaded with him for hours until he called on the chaos to leave. The storming of the Capitol was not a protest rally that got out of hand, but the last attempt in a desperate plan. Whether Trump wanted to see it implemented this way or was never able to fully appreciate the implications is an open question. This is essential for any criminal proceedings, and it presents the Justice Department with an extremely delicate decision. Politically, however, the matter is clear: Both cases disqualify Trump for the presidency. Initial polls now show that this view is gaining support among Republicans as well. Trump's ratings have begun to crumble in recent weeks, with half of party supporters wanting a different candidate for the 2024 election. At the same time, approval is growing for his current most promising opponent, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Experts attribute this to the hearings, even though Republicans follow them much less than Democrats. Trump is well aware of this sentiment. He is therefore considering presenting the party with a fait accompli and announcing his new candidacy in the coming weeks, even before the November congressional elections. That would be a highly unusual move - and a dangerous one for Republicans. The party has the best chance of a landslide victory in the fall. Sentiment is abysmal in the face of high inflation, the economic fallout from the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Three quarters of the population think the country is moving in the wrong direction, more than at any time in almost a decade. This also has to do with President Joe Biden, who lacks leadership in domestic politics and appears incapable of acting in the face of a razor-thin Democratic majority. His approval ratings have therefore fallen to a record low. Republicans are gleefully exploiting this and could rely on the fact that for a majority of the population the price of gasoline is more important than lies about an election soon to be held two years ago. That is, unless Trump moves back to center stage. The former president divides conservatives and unites their opponents, so he is as much a liability to his party as Biden is to Democrats. He alone can screw up a Republican electoral triumph in the fall. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) With greetings from Philip K. Dick.
