Prior to Senator Patty Murray's debate with Challenger Dino Rossi in Spokane, Washington last night, a crazy, meat cleaver wielding man repeatedly drove by Murray supporters, brandishing his weapon and shouting profanities.
He's in Spokane County jail.
From the Spokesman Review:
Johnny J. Sieler, 50, first drove by the group with a knife, shouting profanities about Murray. He upgraded his weapon to a meat cleaver and drove by a second time, according to Spokane police.
As he drove by, he slowed his vehicle down and made chopping motions as he held the cleaver out his car windows. Some of the supporters felt so threatened they backed away from the suspect, police said.
Sigh.
Meanwhile, here's a pretty good article on the Debate.
And a clip of Dino:
