The young lady who has been appointed to complete his term resigned from
his administration because she was not happy with his overly lax stance on
crime.  She does still consider herself a progressive DA, though, but it
sounds like she is more concerned with keeping hardened criminals behind
bars.  Time will tell.

Shoot, I was hoping to get a more local view on it.  The article I read had
similar wording.

They probably have to have a 1st degree charge.  If he had not been
subdued, it would have been more than attempted assault.  Maybe the fact
that he certainly intended to assault/wound/kill the candidate, but was
unable to complete his mission, is what got him consiered non-violent?

I do not agree with that reasoning but it is about the only way I would see
his attempt as non-violent.

I was actually remembering that conversation between you and Jeff T when I
was reading the article.
