Doesn't tell us much, but somehow you don't expect a 71 year old to resort to this.

I don't think anyone would guess his age the first time, or even within ten years of it.

From his age and nothing else, I'd guess this was a measured, calculated, long-debated act, regardless of motive.

He's vehemently anti-gay. Calls it a "perversion" and he'll "never accept it". May have been tied to a journalist's assassination, is a very pro-Putin type. The assailant may have many memories of the brutal Soviet occupation.

and Slovakia hasn't been free long enough to trust elections. My best guess says that had he not been shot, he'd have faced a no confidence vote sooner rather than later. Now he won't. Thanks a lot, gun toting asshole.

He has kept aid to Ukraine going. He might be a RW nutjob, but he does know what the real threat to the region is..

... not that I'm advocating political violence against an elected leader. To be clear, I am not.

Also not shedding a tear that this Putin stooge might croak.

Great interview with MP Marcinkova. Tense times all around.

Warthog defense video with claims that the assailant has connections with a group loyal to Russia.
