If the knife were in the other hand

Farzad Fazeli, a 35-year-old man, attempted to stab Rudy Peters, who is the Republican nominee for California’s 15th Congressional District at a public festival. Allegedly he shouted anti-Trump, anti-Republican threats as reported by the victim and by-standers. As far as I know this remained a local story, but is faithfully being repeated at Republican websites as evidence of the hate that’s being stirred up by the likes of Maxine Waters who has given marching orders to hate on Republicans and Trump supporters. 99% of those listening to Maxine will clap, giggle and ignore her, but some take her seriously.

If the knife had been in the hand of a Trump supporter, this would have been 24/7 coverage on CNN, MSNBC and the alphabet media. We know that from the experience of the tragedy of the Gabby Gifford shooting done by a deranged man who seemed to have no political motives at all.  The media began blaming Sarah Palin not just for her support of the 2nd Amendment, but because in her political ads she used the symbol/word, crosshairs. As far as I know, the media are not calling for knife confiscation or registration.

Fazeli is a licensed security guard even though he has a criminal record.  He has anti-Trump rants on his Facebook page. Interesting.
