Revolution to Casey Brezik apparently meant slashing the throat of a middle-aged dean at a community college.
The 22-year-old Brezik is accused of attacking 55-year-old Al Dimmitt Jr., the dean of instruction at Metropolitan Community College's Penn Valley campus, before a scheduled press conference by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon yesterday. Nixon, as you can imagine, canceled his presser because there's really no way to follow up a stabbing.
Brezik liked to spread his revolutionary rhetoric to his 24 Facebook friends (I've already changed the number twice because people keep unfriending him), including posting just hours prior to yesterday's attack.
In the hours before yesterday's attack, Brezik posted the cryptic message below.
rant
:Revolution....What are you afraid of? If your is so bad thatyou want to go about a revolution? You must also be willing to lay your
life on the line being its not worth continuing to live this way.
Otherwise your just making a statement.....Cowards. You kow who you are.
Brezik was apparently living out his anarchist fantasy. In June, he bragged
about getting arrested at the Toronto G20 summit:
Crossed the security fence. Ran from the cops. Was tackled.The Kansas City Star reportsSpit on an officer. Was arrested, charged, and deported. MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED
that police are looking into whether Nixon was the target
given Brezik's Facebook statuses (for real) and his unique wardrobe choice: a bullet-proof vest. And those reports about "demonic" tats, well, Brezik reportedly has the anarchy symbol tattooed on his hand. So leave the satanists out of this.
Brezik
probably sees himself as a political prisoner. But his revolution
will have to go on hold now that Jackson County prosecutors have charged
him with two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of armed
criminal action.
Meanwhile, Dimmitt is reportedly in stable condition
after undergoing surgery.

"Justin Kendall reports on revolutionary ignored by the left media"
Actually the story was on the cover of The Kansas City Star newspaper two days after the incident. The Kansas City Star has a circulation of 260,724 Daily. The story appeared on the front page of the paper again when it was discovered he meant to kill the Governor. The star is the largest newspaper in the state.
"Interesting - no mention even close to that of the AZ tragedy. I wonder why...."
In the Arizona tragedy Jared Loughner set out to kill a US Congress woman. Got within a few feet of her and put a bullet in her brain.
In the Missouri case there were no deaths. A schizophrenic man stabbed a dean of a college thinking he was the governor. Meanwhile the Governor was miles away at the airport.
The story might have garnered a little more attention if he actually stabbed the Governor of Missouri but the fact is he didn't get anywhere near him. He stabbed the dean of a community college thinking it was Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon. Nobody was killed and the Governor wasn't even in the neighborhood.
Justin Kendall reports on revolutionary ignored by the left media
Thank you Justin Kendall for reporting on this story....FREEDOM of speech is grand!
Interesting - no mention even close to that of the AZ tragedy. I wonder why....
Ah, so he's black, Muslim, a clear hater, probably a Democrat and he stabbed a white guy, who was also a liberal? No, no, get the hush patrol on this one. Hands over ears, eyes and mouth as appropriate, main stream media.
What will be similar to this case and Jared Loughner will be as follows:
1) community college staff knew of his mental problems and did nothing about them, maybe they kicked him out of school rather than growing some testicles and having the guy involuntarily committed for a psych eval
2) he was known to police in the last year or two, at least
3) he engendered fear and distrust, as in refer him to a mental institution, in anyone who knew him.
How can liberals and PC police continue to let people like this go?
left wingers are the dangerous radicalls.stupid kids who dont know thier ass from a hole in the ground.so let me get this right ,they believe they have it figured out and american system is wrong and socialism is right.get a job u lazy little spoiled kids.the bums will lose!
you left wingnuts are always talking about how your lefty's are crazy and need help but right wingnuts need to be hung and we need to stop freedom of speech and ban knives/guns......lol..... you people make me sick.
Still NO reportage in the MSM until Glenn Beck brought attention to it now in 2011 5 months later practically.
And the people still believe anything the MSM has to say today about anything? We need an overthrow of the media and the government who've become one in the same hence the Obama State Run Media.
Wow, it's been four months since this happened and I stumbled across it by accident in a blog. Nice to see the comprehensive coverage provided by the major news media on this one. Ya gonna tell me not one leftist writer was willing to jump at the chance to write the headline: "Nixon target of assassination?" Forty years ago it was their dream!
And people say we're not being spoon-fed a directed load of crap on a daily basis. Tell people this guy liked Sarah Palin instead of that murderer from Cuba and it'll be all OVER the news.
Casey Brezik must have a place in the DoJ reserved just for him, since there is nothing to show he's being charged with premeditated (or is that now merely a matter of unmedicated) attempted murder -- Ommbaba has the same problem, he has mistaken our identity as some clot of fools.
We'd better get our country back in the hands of the people who make their way by honest work with the sweat of their brows -- and smoke the rest (like 25 to life in the electric-chair).
If we are going to have Shariah Law these are good places to start.
Don't you just love our educational system? No wonder we're in such horrific shape as a country. I guess they quit teaching grammar years ago when the new teachers didn't know what it was, either.
Anyway, it must be tough going through life being so stupid that a person can't even identify the right person - I mean, not that the Governor would have any public photo images of him, or anything like that.
So now I suppose we will continue paying for this moron's life - protection, prison time, welfare - we'll even be paying for his right to reproduce - just what we need - another one! He better enroll in that college correspondence course so we can pay for that, too. So, I guess - who really is the moron since we're the ones paying for all of it?
FIRST OFF...to VW..U knew him in middle school not as a grown a** man!...U are crazy your self taking about he had agood heart!!!...Yeah in 6th grade dummy!! Second...I am a full time student at Penn Valley what if he wld have came to school with a gun and took ppls lives mine being of them!! Hes crazy and he needs to stay locked up from the rest of the world! Maybe u need to be there with him(VW) sinces he has such a good heart!!! :( Get IT TOGETHER
Maybe he fell victim to the 'They All Look The Same To Me' scourge
He thought it was JAy NIxon.....He admitted he stabbed the wrong guy.....He's a smart one....Being from raytown go figure....
C'mon just another criminal. That is just another violent criminal. Thoughts and prayers to the victim.
...He was just turning his life around. Is that what you're going to say next?
I knew Casey when we were in middle school. He is not the least bit evil. Casey has a very good heart. I think he just has a mental illness, a mental illness that needs treatment ASAP. Casey is worth saving people because at least he is not a sociopath. I can tell you he is definitely not a sociopath, Casey has empathy for others, which is the main reason I think he is worth saving from this terrible illness.
