Trenton Abston (25) is suspected in trying to abduct the Mayor of Memphis, Paul Young. He is being held in the Shelby County Jail and charged with attempted kidnapping, stalking, and aggravated criminal trespassing. "At the time of his arrest, officers recovered a taser, gloves, rope, and duct tape from his vehicle," the police department said. Security video shows a person scaling a wall to the subdivision and then walking directly to Young's home. Tennessee state records indicate a man with the same name is licensed as an armed security guard whose license expires in 2027. Paul Young is the Democratic Mayor of Memphis and earns $210,000 per year. His wife Jamila is a nurse-practitioner and assistant professor at University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Paul and Jamila have two children, aged 12 and eight.
The era of political violence against Democrats, liberals, and progressives is baking into the cake well in America thanks to Dotard Trumpf and his intolerant, rightwing xenophobic white Christian supremacist rule. Last weekend white Christian maniac Vance L. Boelter killed two Democrats and wounded two others in Minnesota; he had a list of 70 more potential victims. Another white lunatic, Joseph R. Checklick Jr (21), drove his car into innocent protestors in Culpeper, VA on No Kings Day.' Democratic NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani regularly receives death threats from Islamophobes. His opponent, AIPAC favorite disgraced ex-NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo, condemned those threats against his fellow Democrat, but his campaign publishes darkened images of Mamdani to make him look more foreign. Trenton Abston's motives are under investigation.
