| Follow-up from Weds. submission: Here’s what you need to know: California man is accused of attacking a Republican politician at a fair during an anti-Trump and anti-GOP rant. Farzad Fazeli
The 35-year-old Fazeli pulled out a "switchblade," during the incident and tried to stab Peters, but the knife did not work, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release. The incident occurred as Peters campaigned on September 9 at the Castro Valley Fall Festival, the sheriff’s office said. "The knife malfunctioned and the victim became involved in a physical struggle with Fazeli," Sergeant Ray Kelly said in a statement. Fazeli fled the scene but was detained a short time later by deputies. A switchblade knife was located on his person. ... No serious injuries were reported as a result of the incident. The case has been forwarded to the District Attorney." Fazeli has been charged with felony assault, criminal threats, brandishing a weapon and possession of a switchblade knife. Peters, a 56-year-old businessman running for California’s 15th Congressional District seat, told the San Francisco Chronicle, "It’s a shame. People are just polarized right now, and this country’s divided and it’s just a mess. It shouldn’t be that way." Swalwell, his Democratic opponent, tweeted, "On Sunday, my opponent @PetersCongress was attacked at his campaign booth in Castro Valley. I’m glad to hear Mr. Peters is okay. But it’s NEVER okay to use violence to settle political disagreements (or any disagreement). Fortunately, @ACSOSheriffs arrested the suspect."

| #3 Appears Persion. Today I saw a muslim woman in the usual muslim garb except she had a top with a huge Nike logo on it. A lot of these people came here for the Democrat promised entitlements. But with entitlement cuts expect more domestic jihad. |

| #2 What an idiot - my brothers used to solder a small round steel piece along the top edge of a 6" buck knife, so when you're pulling it out, you'd just flick it with your thumb to make the blade lock in place. Worked 100% of the time, sounded just like a switchblade and was great for fending off gay guys who picked you up hitchhiking and thought you were fresh meat. |
