If not, this mayhem will continue.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kenneth Fitzgerald<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hicksville<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Only in Hochul\u2019s New York could someone who narrowly missed stabbing Zeldin in his neck be inexplicably under-charged with attempted assault, even after physically grabbing the GOP gubernatorial candidate.<\/p>\n<p>And only in Hochul\u2019s increasingly dangerous, dysfunctional New York would this guy be back on the street in a couple of hours. <\/p>\n<p><em>Jim Soviero<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>East Setauket<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The pictures appear to show that the assailant had a knife-like, double-bladed weapon in his right hand, as he was gripping and holding onto Zeldin and said: \u201cYou\u2019re done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, due to New York\u2019s new \u201cprogressive\u201d bail-reform laws, he was almost im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely released from custody by the judge.<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, since the assailant apparently had some sought of mental issue, he should have been held and sent for a psychological evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>This is another terrible example of why criminal justice has been sabotaged and our streets and cities are not safe.<\/p>\n<p><em>Harold Fishman<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The attack on Zeldin, which was thankfully thwarted, gave first-hand credence to all that he has been saying about criminal-justice reform. Hollywood couldn\u2019t have staged this better. This was, ironically, a booster rocket for the Zeldin campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The attacker, who committed a crime against a sitting US congressman, was released from a local court in his own recognizance with no bail required.<\/p>\n<p>The attacker should have been held for psychiatric evaluation and also subjected to the red-flag law. If he owns guns, they should be seized. His case should also be transferred to a federal court with the charge of attempted murder.<\/p>\n<p><em>Phil Serpico, Queens<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The responsibility for the crime and catch-and-release problem we have here in New York lies solely with Hochul.<\/p>\n<p>She has the power to get rid of these district attorneys who give free reign to violent criminals and let them run amuck.<\/p>\n<p>These brazen criminals are going after elected officials with no consequences, and the most vulnerable people are being victimized due to Hochul.<\/p>\n<p><em>J. Papavasilopoulos<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The attack on Zeldin puts a laser-focus on out-of-control crime in New York, and the fact the attacker was immediately released is shameful, yet predictable.<\/p>\n<p>New York is truly the Wild West. If a sitting United States congressman isn\u2019t safe, who is? Easy answer: the criminal.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Hochul and the Democratic-led Legislature are complicit. Knowing New York will re-elect them is what they count on. Remember, this is what the left wanted, and it got it. It is truly disgusting.<\/p>\n<p><em>Paul Schettino<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Hopewell Junction<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yet another attack on a conservative leader in America. This time, it was gubernatorial candidate Zeldin, who was assaulted as he spoke at a campaign event in Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>This follows an attempt to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by yet another irate leftist.<\/p>\n<p>Zeldin predicted that his attacker would be freed quickly due to New York\u2019s no-bail law, which has ignited the massive increase in crime in the Empire State, and that\u2019s exactly what happened. No wonder crime in New York is out of control.<\/p>\n<p><em>Steve Heitner<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Middle Island<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Want to weigh in on today\u2019s stories?
