The assassination attempt you’ve never heard of
Monday, Jan 24, 2011 at 12:23 PM EST
Why is the media not covering an assassination attempt on Missouri’s Democratic governor Jay Nixon by 22-year-old Casey Brezik? Why has the limited coverage not prompted the same level of speculation as the attack perpetrated by Jared Lee Loughner? Could it be because he’s an anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, left wing crazy person? Glenn had the story on radio this morning from RedState.com:
“The rightwing kooks. Okay. ‘22‑year‑old kook Casey Brezik wore a bulletproof vest and charged towards Missouri’s Democratic governor Jay Nixon with a knife and attempted to slash his throat. Now, how is it that we have not heard about this story? ”In light of the media’s race to talk about the rights climate of hateful rhetoric, you probably guessed by now that Casey was an anti‑Christian, anticapitalist leftists who participated in a number of leftwing protests. He’s also diagnosed a paranoid schizophrenic. Luckily for all involved, Brezik was high on pot at the time and so was a little confused. Instead of slashing the governor’s throat, he slashed the throat of a community college Dean he took for the governor.’ A throat was slashed and this isn’t a story. He was going for the governor,” Glenn read on radio.
Glenn, however, refused to believe the story unless it was verified by additional sources. “Now, I won’t hear of this story anymore until I have forty sources,” he said.
“A man accused of stabbing a Kansas City college official intended to attack Missouri governor Jay Nixon and mistakenly believed he had done so police said Thursday. The suspect, 22‑year‑old Casey Brezik, did not know Nixon and had no particular beef with the governor. But he decided to attack him because he was a top government official, Kansas City police spokesperson Darin Snapp said,” Stu read from The Huffington Post. The article did not mention the political views of Casey Brezik.
Glenn could not believe that more news sources were not reporting the story.
Pat expressed some disbelief, saying, “It can’t have happened because you know they would have tracked down the violent rhetoric that set him off and they would have done an intensive investigation as to whose violent rhetoric set him off.”
Glenn did not want to have any more commentary or discussion until more research came out on the matter.
“When you have 39 more sources, you let me know. Because I’ve got real news to report,” he said.

Missouri governor was intended target of stabbing at MCC-Penn Valley

The student accused of stabbing a college dean in the neck Tuesday in Kansas City actually wanted to stab Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, according to sources close to the investigation.
In fact, Casey Brezik thought he had stabbed Nixon -- until police told him otherwise while interrogating him Tuesday night, the sources said.
The news that he had wounded a college official, and that the official had survived, disappointed Brezik, the sources said.
The 22-year-old Raytown resident hatched his plan after learning that Nixon was to speak at Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley at 10 a.m. Tuesday, the sources said. Brezik wore a bullet-resistant vest to class that morning. Nixon travels with Highway Patrol troopers.

Brezik did not have a particular beef with Nixon, the sources said, but wanted to harm him because he was a top government official.
Nixon arrived at Wheeler Downtown Airport shortly before the 9:35 a.m. stabbing. He canceled his visit to the campus at 3201 Southwest Trafficway.
Nixon has been told about Brezik's statements to police, a spokesman said Wednesday night. The spokesman declined to comment beyond that.
Diagnosed four years ago with paranoid schizophrenia, Brezik had been attending Penn Valley for only three weeks. Campus officials had not considered him a threat to harm anyone, said MCC Chancellor Mark James.
Brezik's relatives have described him as an anarchist, and he ranted about various political topics on his Facebook page.
He is accused of stabbing the campus dean of instruction, Al Dimmit Jr., in the hallway outside the computer lab where a lectern had been set up for Nixon's speech about high-speed Internet access projects. Brezik also allegedly nicked James in the chest with the knife as James wrestled with him.
In a news conference Wednesday at the college, Dimmitt's son, Andrew, said his father was "recovering well," and that he was "looking forward to returning as soon as he is able to Penn Valley |
