this yarn is off to a bad start
There are a lot of posts in this thread that have not aged well.
When access to factual data is prevented, speculation is all that is left.
What is Pelosi holding in his left hand?
I've only seen it on a phone screen, so it was kinda hard to tell but it kinda looked like that's what it might have been.Looks like a drink. He is a Pelosi, after all.

Holding a drink while struggling over a hammer with someone substantially younger, and presumably stronger, seems a bit odd.
That's not the only odd thing about this mess. How about that rear patio window that was busted out from the inside? How and when did that happen? Why didn't it set off the glass break detectors? I have those and I'm not third in line for the Presidency. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...tions-home-invasion-triggered-no-warning.html
Who let DePape into the house? How was he able to gain access without triggering any of the security layers?
A Bay Area television station said the man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer in his Pacific Heights home in October called the station with a message on Friday after a San Francisco Superior Court released audio and video of the attack the same day.
From the San Francisco County Jail, David DePape, 42, who has been charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, and federal kidnapping charges in connection with the attack, called KTVU’s Amber Lee, telling her that he had an “important message,” and claiming that he carried out the assault on Pelosi because “people’s liberties were under attack.” He also eerily apologized for not hurting more people, the station reported.
He also claimed he had the “names and addresses” of people he claims are responsible for taking away freedom.
“I want to apologize to everyone. I messed up. What I did was really bad,” DePape said on the less than six-minute call, according to KTVU. “I’m so sorry I didn’t get more of them. It’s my own fault. No one else is to blame. I should have come better prepared.”
The station said Friday’s call was “unexpected” and DePape told the reporter she couldn’t ask any follow-up questions because he didn’t want to “jeopardize his case,” but allowed the phone call to be recorded.

DePape, who has pleaded not guilty, is expected to appear in court on February 23.
Wondering how much one can make today portraying a mental MAGA supporter? He must be getting a hefty stipend.
anyone who 'is' MAGA knows this guy is full of scheisse....Wondering how much one can make today portraying a mental MAGA supporter? He must be getting a hefty stipend.
No, the guy in jail for hitting him with a hammer.Who? Pelosi

DePape’s attorney, Jodi Linker, conceded on the first day of the trial that her client was the one to attack the 83-year-old Paul Pelosi, but argued that his motivation for the assault did not match the charges against him. “This case here is about the why — the why matters. This case is about whether David acted because of, on account of, Nancy Pelosi’s duties as a member of Congress. He didn’t,” Linker had argued to the jury. “And he only struck Paul Pelosi in a quick moment of despair because the police arrived and his larger plan was thwarted.”
Testifying in his own defense on Tuesday, DePape, gave jurors a closer look at his motives before the attack, becoming emotional at times as he shared examples of conspiracy theories he felt were true.
DePape recalled that he was focused on Nancy Pelosi and that her husband, Paul, was not on his list of targets. He was “surprised and confused,” he testified, when he found out that the congresswoman was not home.
“I’m telling him, I have other targets, but if you stop me, I’ll go through you,” DePape said, recounting a conversation with Paul Pelosi, adding that he then reacted and hit him “in the head,” because his plan was “basically ruined.”

How is battery a federal count? I thought simple crimes were state matters.The jury began deliberating Wednesday afternoon before reaching a verdict late Thursday morning, finding David DePape guilty on both federal counts.

3 hots and a cot... plenty of gay bootie... this is his 'sentence'???Man convicted of attacking ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer sentenced to 30 years
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The man convicted of attempting to kidnap then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacking her husband with a hammer was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison.
Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley handed down the sentence for David DePape, 44, whom jurors found guilty last November of attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on the immediate family member of a federal official. Prosecutors had asked for a 40-year prison term.
DePape was given 20 years for one count and 30 years for another count. The sentences will run concurrently. He was also given credit for the 18 months that he's been in custody.

That's the 'official' story... 'broke into Pelosi's house'
A right wing extremist who lived in a house with a pride flag...?Today during the hearings the left just kept hammering that the attack on Paul was a right wing extremist and political violence is never acceptable. I never paid much attention to this case but it's the first I have heard of it being a right wing extremist.
Apparently Antifa and BLM riots aren't considered political violence by the left.
