Jay Nixon Assissination Attempt?

Why am I only now hearing about this?

The Assassination Attempt You Have Not Heard Of

"It happened in September of 2010 in Missouri. A 22 year old named Casey Brezik, wearing a bullet proof vest, charged toward Missouri’s Democratic Governor Jay Nixon with a knife and attempted to slash his throat.

"In light of the media’s race to talk about the right’s climate of hateful rhetoric, you have probably guessed by now that Casey Brezik was an anti-Christian, anti-capitalist leftist who participated in a number of leftwing protests. He was also a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic.

"Luckily for all involved, Brezik was high on pot at the time and got confused. Instead of slashing the Governor’s throat, he slashed the throat of a community college dean he took for the Governor."

I'll grant that Human Events is a Conservative blog, but the story appears to be backed up by Yahoo news and Riverfront Times.

Let's see... Wasn't it the Missouri State Highway Patrol who released that report about the dangers posed by Conservatives and religious fundamentalists? I wonder if we'd heard more about this story if the would-be assassin had been a TEA Party type?

And political bias aside, it occurs to me that an attempt on the governor's life is something that Missourians ought to have been told about. Something is damn fishy about this...
