Shit loads of weapons, explosives and Nazi memorabilia. Bail at half a million each.

But somehow migrants and farmers are the real danger?

The NYPD has launched a hate crimes investigation into allegations that a man threatened to blow up mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s car, according to sources and a recording obtained by the Daily News.

The unidentified man made the threat in a voicemail left with Assemblyman Mamdani’s office in Queens on Wednesday.
It was one of at least four threatening voicemails the person has left in recent weeks, according to the NYPD. Mamdani’s staff did not alert police until the Wednesday threat, which they deemed more serious, sources said.

The threat was an apparent allusion to an Israeli attack on Hezbollah last year.

“Go start your car and see what happens. I’d keep an eye on your house and family. Watch your f–king back every f–king second until you get the f–k out of America. Nobody wants your terrorist ways here,” the caller said. “And check your beeper, too, you terrorist f–k. Beep beep.”

there are others.

i'm not DSA nor a member of any party, but hey look, more violence from the supporters of law and order.

Saturday was the funeral for Sen. Hortman and her husband. Biden, Walz, and Harris attended, but no sign of the President or other Magas.

Democratic former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman was honored for her legislative accomplishments and her humanity during a funeral Saturday where former President Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris joined more than 1,000 mourners.

Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot to death in their home two weeks ago by a man posing as a police officer that Minnesota's chief federal prosecutor has called an assassination. The assailant also shot and seriously wounded a Democratic state senator and his wife at their home.

I saw that yesterday and meant to post, but got sidetracked. 80 years, brilliant. Now can they get the taco clown banged up for his continual incitement to violence? It was noticeable how he ignored the deaths of the murdered Democrats recently. What a true leader and statesman he is .

Getting upset about immigration in New York City? That’s mad. Like getting cross that a termite mound has ants in it. City is built on immigration over centuries, from all over the place. That’s what it is. If you don’t like it fuck off to Delaware or something.

I just heard. Trump says everyone must pray for him . I don't think he was hit, but I only caught part of it.

Mediaite are saying local media claim he was hit "near his neck", and the response from Trump does sound like it is serious.

Putting this here although it's not been confirmed as political violence, so am not putting it in trump related threads:

South Carolina judge gives update after ‘explosion’ at $1.5 million home

Judge Diane Goodstein’s house in Edisto Beach burned to the ground at the weekend, forcing her loved ones to jump from windows to safety

www.independent.co.uk

The judge’s husband, former Democrat state senator Arnold Goodstein, was forced to jump from a first floor window to escape the inferno. He suffered multiple broken bones in the process and his son, Arnold Goodstein III, was rushed to hospital.

but ...

The fire took place on Saturday, almost a month after Goodstein prevented Donald Trump’s Department of Justice from handing over the personal data of 3.3 million South Carolinian voters.

The administration had hoped to use the voter registration data - which included names, birth dates, addresses, driver’s license numbers and the last four digits of social security numbers - to arrest illegal immigrants.

The September 2 ruling - for which Judge Goodstein had reportedly received multiple death threats - was later overturned when South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster filed an emergency petition to the state’s Supreme Court.

Investigations into the cause of the blaze by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division are ongoing and they have yet to rule out arson.

so no confirmation yet but worth keeping an eye on.

It appears that Maga have another bit of violence to their credit with what appears to be an arson fire of a judge's home. She ruled against Trump and her house was burnt to the ground with family members in the home. Her husband is in the hospital with broken legs and pelvis, etc from jumping of the top floor to avoid burning to death. He's 81.
