“The assassination attempt you’ve never heard of” that ran on Page A1
Multiple readers have asked me about something they heard on the Glenn Beck show recently. I wasn’t listening, so I can’t vouch for what was said, though his official website has an account of it.
To cut through the misinformation, which tends to reach far and wide in these sorts of things: Casey Brezik, a young man with mental illness, thought he was attacking the governor of Missouri at a Metropolitan Community College event last year. Gov. Jay Nixon was not actually there, and Brezik stabbed and wounded Al Dimmitt Jr., a college administrator.
I have zero interest in tracking down how this story originated or has filtered through the Internet, but three things are indisputable:
1. The story was big local news, occupying the lead position on the Sept. 15 and 16 Star front pages, both times with the color mugshot of the suspect. Every other major news source in town also played it very prominently.
2. Brezik had years earlier been diagnosed with the serious mental illness of paranoid schizophrenia — something that I believe most reasonable people would agree obviates drawing any conclusions about how his supposed political beliefs may have informed his actions.
3. It’s nonsense to declare it wasn’t reported elsewhere. A cursory check of the Nexis news database shows that it most certainly did play in the media outside this area, in sources as far-flung as The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va., The Bismarck Tribune in North Dakota, and the National Journal’s Hotline. Multiple stories went out on the Associated Press wire, and they surely ran in papers and on websites around the world. (Neither Nexis nor the AP tracks all the places wire content runs, so there’s no way to find them all.)
This incident may be a somewhat-interesting piece of spot news to people outside the KC area, but it certainly isn’t a big story. There’s no trend or any indication of a conspiracy.
And though I don’t often offer my own opinions, I’ll say I find it absolutely ludicrous and insulting to compare it to a mass shooting that killed six and wounded 14, including a U.S. District Court judge, a nine-year-old bystander and a U.S. representative.
Furthermore, ascribing political import to this particular individual’s actions is an extremely close parallel to what Pima County, Ariz. Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has been so roundly criticized for from many sides in the wake of the recent Tuscon shootings. http://adastrum.kansascity.com/?q=node/1095
