Zachary Plantz, adviser to Congressman Dan Lipinski, killed in Naples, Florida  crash on Thanksgiving - ABC7 Chicago

NAPLES, Fla. (WLS) — A member of Congressman Dan Lipinski’s staff was killed in a car crash in Florida on Thanksgiving morning.

Zachary Plantz was a senior policy adviser for the 3rd District Democrat. The 27-year-old Notre Dame grad was in Naples for a marathon to raise money for charity.

Lipinski issued the following statement on Plantz’s death Monday:

“Judy and I were heartbroken to hear of the passing of my staff member and friend, Zachary “Zac” Plantz. The world has lost an incredible young man whose life was tragically cut too short.

After I brought Zac into my campaign last year, I quickly learned what a gifted young man he was and made him my Campaign Manager. He was a proud Notre Dame graduate who had a contagious energy about him that lifted up those who interacted with him. He was smart, thoughtful, respectful, and charismatic. Talking to Zac always brightened your day. He was smart, witty, and had an impressive ability to inject light-hearted humor into a conversation to put things in perspective or just to make you smile. “After the campaign, Zac joined my congressional staff as Senior Policy Advisor. In that role he was passionate about bringing people together, serving the community, and making a difference in the lives of residents of Illinois’s 3rd Congressional District. Zac truly wanted to serve others.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his parents Ron and Laura, his siblings Logan, Tyler, and Abby, his girlfriend Kathleen, and all of Zac’s family and friends during this this [sic] difficult time.”

what I read was that “the car burst into flames, and the engine block got separated from the chassis”

aka, a kinetic event occurred, and destroyed his vehicle while it was traveling down the road.

People have no clue how frequently political assassinations occur within US borders.

I have thought about that, how hard would it be ? you have a family or group of peasants, gaining power locally, they are noticed by the nobles, and are out on a holiday motor cycle ride, labor day, memorial day etc, nice motor cycle train decked out with flags, whole nine yards, cruising down the highway, and you have a gypsy vagabond who drives a truck hauling freight for the noble.
And just have your driver working that holiday, little surveillance, and run them over, a tragic accident .
Certainly you have heard of a Russian hit man.
With the “scaredemic” can quit playing wack a mole and get rid of a lot of upper ward mobile peasants and there “king”

no, Seth is dead, he had no political power, only had a chance to expose the darkness, for which he paid the price.

The rot in DC is so pervasive, so institutional, that people who are guided by morals, or principles that are common to human kind, need not apply.

DC is a graveyard for patriots, and a demonic platform for evil, much like the city of London, Beijing, or any other focal point of power on the planet.

Why do you think they need a non stop propaganda machine running 24/7 filled with the exact opposite your perceptions of reality?

There is no possible way to limit the power of a centralized government. The Constitution was pure folly. It had too many holes to last more than the 80 years it did.

All of these assignations of staffers have serious upside.
You stay off the proverbial front page by killing the staffers, who do the actual work, and by leaving the Senator or Governor alive you get the desired legislative vote or executive action you couldn’t get if you smoked the primary. Additionally it send a clear message to the up and comers that live what is expected.
Its a win win win.
