Perhaps you’ve been following the laughable story of an “attack” on Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate and former failed COVID czarina Dr. Amy Acton.
If not, then consider the following video to be your TL;DR!
But seriously…..
Who is this woman? This “Dr. Amy Acton” who is running as the Democrat candidate for Governor of Ohio?
Dr. Acton inexplicably served as GOP Governor Mike DeWine’s Director of Health until she tried to become Ohio’s Fauci, at which point she was blocked and opposed by everybody in the state who could possibly stop her (particularly the House and Senate), until she “resigned” – thus saving Ohio from following New York and California into the Flaming Dumpster of COVID Communism. Ohioans prayed for Mike DeWine to take two Growacet and fire Dr. Acton. Well, he allowed her to resign, and she did! Good enough!
The fact that Ohio Dems have been reduced to the sad state of offering this lady for Governor shows just how badly they’ve been beaten over the past decade.
For the last year or so, Dr. Acton – or Lockdown Amy as we sensible people love to call her – has been perpetually ahead of her GOP opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, by ONE POINT – at least according to Mr. Ramaswamy (hereafter just “Vivek”). Personally, I never believed it. Not only was the permanence of the number mathematically impossible in the real world – the fact that Vivek never, ever, pulled ahead of her was clearly bogus, given that – no matter how “unlikable” Vivek may be to the Vivek haters, Amy Acton is even more unpopular in Ohio.
No – in my unofficial and skeptical opinion, Vivek LIKES being one point behind Lockdown Amy – probably because of something called “donations”. Just my theory.
Now I must admit as part of “full disclosure” that I have always found Dr. Acton pleasant to look at (better than the AI above), and rather non-threatening – notably in contrast to her status as a super-villain in the Buckeye State. She seems like a rather typical “science bimbo” – smart, but not particularly sharp, happy, a bit ditzy or dizzy, take your pick, and “looks good in a lab coat”. I suppose some might call that description sexist, but they would be wrong. There are men like Dr. Acton, who women in science see in almost exactly the same way, and nobody calls those women sexist, so I demand exactly the same treatment. Or, to put it another way, “Piss off, you hypocritical, woke AWFULs – who by and large look terrible in lab coats.”
Just sayin’.
Now, recently, I started getting text messages that Vivek was actually ONE POINT AHEAD of Lockdown Amy, as if this was some kind of Earth-shattering news, but in any case, it was supposedly because of this that it was absolutely necessary to donate even more money to Vivek. Admittedly, I wasn’t sure if I should believe this poll result either, despite it seeming entirely reasonable, because the whole thing seemed, as most high-school drama always seems, “weak, fake, and gay” – to use a currently popular expression.
But even if this was somehow true, I felt like there was some chance the Democrats would have to respond in some way, and that worried me.
Why is that? – You might probably should ask.
You see, while we don’t have much actual terrorism and really hardcore political violence in Ohio, we do have a lot of dirty tricks, sabotage, stolen signs, misrepresentations, hoaxes, lies, and machine shenanigans. Helping a non-machine political opponent screw up in a self-defeating way is basically a way of life for both the Democrat and Republican machines in Ohio.
Thus, as soon as I heard the news that Vivek was making some statement about political violence, I knew we were now in the full season of Ohio politics, and I was probably going to have to interpret the inscrutable for the benefit and understanding of the incredulous.
Consider a couple of past instances of my “translation” of Ohio political dirty tricks for the understanding of non-Ohioans.

Lazy Days and Nights – POL Garbageman Reporting from COHVID District 12
Understanding WHY Dems do things requires context – and when you find the context, it all makes sense.
SO – back to the present – what actually happened?
The original media description was that an armed man with two guns entered the tent where Dr. Acton was speaking, rushed past the guards, knocked over a bunch of people, and finally “lunged” at Dr. Acton. Only to be stopped by the Highway Patrol.
But even that description wasn’t enough for some in the media.
I was immediately skeptical, and within 24 hours, the skeptics were everywhere. And being proven right.
Let’s see that full tweet…..
No drawn weapons. No reaching the candidate. No felony threat charges. Just misdemeanors and a sheriff who said the apparent intent was “to ask her a couple of questions. He was just, you know, pretty aggressive about it.”
Yet the framing feeds the endless “Republicans are violent extremists” machine, especially convenient in a tight Ohio governor’s race.
When actual political violence hits our side, like our president facing two assassination attempts or our top strategist and influencer actually getting assassinated, the same outlets soft-pedal or pivot to “gun violence.” Here, a fairground disorderly becomes proof of “MAGA terror.”
The simple facts are that on September 6 at the Canfield Fair, Patrick Havas pushed through a crowd while holding up his phone… appearing to record or ask a question. He knocked over a couple of older attendees likely due to the wet grass and uneven ground they were standing on.
Security stopped him as he approached Amy Acton to ask his question. He was legally in possession of firearms, but never drew or brandished them.
Charges: disorderly conduct and two misdemeanor assaults. The sheriff himself said the apparent intent was “to ask her a couple of questions. He was just, you know, pretty aggressive about it.” Acton was unharmed.
That’s the police version… a rude, disorderly rush that caused minor bystander injuries when elderly people lost balance and fell over.
The Acton campaign and left-leaning media immediately rewrote it.
Campaign statement: “an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people.” Then the pivot to “This kind of violence has no place in Ohio… chaos, hate and vitriol.”
CNN, Reuters, the Guardian orbit, and Democratic influencers ran with “lunged,” “attacked,” “assailant,” and “attempted violence.”
They rushed to note Havas is a registered Republican and that his brother had donated to Vivek Ramaswamy, turning a phone-wielding shove into a right-wing hit job
They left remains in power through their ability to run 24/7 propaganda on the American people. It must stop
Here’s another take, that – like me – suspects that there is more going on than just mischaracterization.
Here’s the ‘violence’ in Ohio…
A dude was told to force his way through the crowd to create a scene…then when he knocked people over security ‘caught’ him, and disarmed him to display guns (here) then gave him a seat to watch the inebriated @amyactonoh
do her best impressions of @KamalaHarris and @HillaryClintonin summary, it’s fake and was staged…
I thought I was going to have to explain this theory to everybody, but no – the MAGA crowd is now fully trained to spot this shit.
It’s now gone fully national with coverage in Revolver News…..
Amy Acton’s ‘ATTACK’ story crumbles: Prosecutor says armed man never even got near her…

So – what is really going on here?
For starters, as soon as I heard this was happening near Youngstown, in Mahoning County, I was shaking my head.
That area is the home of one of the most interesting polyethnic white mafias in America. Admittedly, the Youngstown mafia has almost turned into a nursing home poker game at this point, but I knew a local, back in my working days, who was pretty connected, and he swore that the corruption was still present and hanging on by its yellowing fingernails.

SO – whenever I hear about sketchiness in Mahoning County, it’s not a surprise. And Amy Acton campaigning there? Not a surprise, either. She’s apparently FROM that area.
I was quite suspicious from the start that this involved “somebody up to no good, but probably not assassination” – and that is where I’m still at now.
There are LOTS of FAKE NEWS posts on X stating that the “perp” – Patrick Havas, is “confirmed” to be either a top Ohio GOP insider / operative, or a dangerous DSA member. Both strike me as unlikely, and Newsweek didn’t find either one.
Here is what they did find.
Current voter records reviewed by Newsweek show Havas is not registered with a political party, though he voted in a GOP primary in 2016.
Havas’ voter registration was updated on November 7, 2023, according to the Mahoning County voter records that Newsweek reviewed. The records show he voted in general elections in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2024.
Havas is a licensed nurse, according to records reviewed by Newsweek.
He was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and petty theft in 2008, but the theft charge was dismissed after he pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct, according to court records reviewed by Newsweek. Havas was accused in that case of stealing three movies—The Untouchables, Full Metal Jacket and Casino Royale—from a Giant Eagle supermarket. He was handed a 30 day jail sentence that was suspended.
Havas was also fined for traffic offenses in 2008 and 2011.

This man Havas strikes me as a typical borderline hood or hooligan – maybe a blowhard – but not even rising to the level of minion or thug. And yet, exactly the kind of personality who would bully his way into a meeting and not bother to ask if it was OK to take videos. The kind of guy who wouldn’t exercise the basic level of common-sense judgment to stow his firearm before entering a political event.
There is reported to be solid timeline evidence that people watching Amy Acton live at the time were calling her out online as being drunk. Actually drunk or not, I am betting that Havas was at the fair, heard about Amy Acton being (allegedly) drunk, realized he could get viral video of the same, and hatched a stupid, Darwin Award plan to “take her down”. Carrying heat legally, but into a political event, tells me that he was likely not engaging in a smart, planned takedown, ALTHOUGH he would have been on shakier ground, legally, if he had come into the tent earlier, unarmed, and taken video surreptitiously after being ASKED not to film.
IF he was doing this as a planned operation, it was pretty ingenious, because the net effect is to tell the entire country a sad truth – that Dr. Amy Acton is not only a leftist “wine woman” like Kamala Harris – she’s a THROWER.

And thus, we are led to MY reading of what has really happened here.
Not a massive conspiracy by the left to “Jussify” Lockdown Amy.
Not a massive conspiracy by the right to expose Wine Woman Amy.
Just some Ohio dude, dreaming bigly of his 15 minutes of internet clout and national fame, hoping he arrived in time for a viral video of Wine Woman Amy, drunk and disorderly at the fair.
And then dem Dems do what dem Dems is ALWAYS gonna do. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Welcome to Ohio politics!
