Paul Pelosi attacked in home invasion

[clarksvol00]

Sounded a bit like he tried to call the Capitol Police, and was surprised he got SF Dispatch. May have called a contact in his phone for police instead of dialing 911.

It took the patrolmen 8 minutes to get there. That seems like a pretty reasonable response time, all things considered. It’s also plenty of time for an irate crazy dude to murder an 80 year old man with a hammer and leave. Trying to keep the guy calm seems like a sound strategy.

Kind of sounded like the dispatcher was too dense to understand what was happening and he was trying to prod her into action by mentioning his wife's name and the Capitol police.

You think the guy was a MAGA guy? Lol no chance. It’s very odd

Uh yeah.

A jailhouse interview with David DePape, the man accused of brutally assaulting Nancy Pelosi’s husband, provides insight into his apparently troubled mind. In an 18-minute clip of the interview, released Friday, DePape told detectives he broke into Pelosi’s San Francisco home to hold her hostage and make her admit to a series of “lies” she’d told about Donald Trump. “If she told the truth, I would let her go scot-free,” DePape said. “If she ****ing lied, I was going to break her calves.” The supposed lies “originate[d] with Hillary” he said, as he ranted about Pelosi, the Democratic Party’s “crime spree” and the supposedly stolen 2020 election. DePape also equated his attack to American revolutionaries fighting the British in the 18th century. “When I left my house, I left to go fight tyranny,” DePape said. “I did not leave to go surrender.”

He did it all for his lord and savior Donald Trump.

I listened to his interview with police the part I heard he never mentioned Trump. Still think it’s odd he just walks up on their house and PP is holding a drink and both are smiling. I don’t buy it

Yeah I thought there was enough there for her to have caught on, but maybe that’s hindsight bias.

 

[norrislakevol]

Listen to the 911 call. It provides a little more context. Sounds like dude is trying to just sit around and wait for Pelosi to come home, and the husband is trying not to piss him off.

That looks like exactly what happened to me. Dude is a complete nut case.

 

[Orangeburst]

The break in video shows 5:10 a.m. The time at the Capitol police headquarters in DC. The body cam footage shows something like 9:31z... which i believe is Zulu or Greenwich mean time. I didn't see PM on anything.

Edit: I didn't see 10:26 on anything either.

Excellent point. I concur.

Just as wrong

Might have even offered him a drink to diffuse the situation. You don't make money like he does by being a dumbass.

First sentence is very accurate for sure. That's what I would do if I didn't have a weapon handy....like they should have. Some of his recent money is because of tips from his wife I would think. Not all, but some.

 

[GAVol]

Not sure why authorities resisted releasing the video. The footage pretty much tells the story here.

 

[AM64]

Sounds like the intruder was just an overly enthusiastic bartender.

Some bartenders are overly sensitive when somebody criticizes their drinks; and there's always that one who is often crabby anyway.

They waited till there was a another anticipated video to come around and overshadowed this one. No coincidence it came out the same day as the Memphis police beating video.

And he didn’t make money like he does until his wife was in politics…….sorry I couldn’t resist

The “They” involved is completely separate on those two events. Put down the tin foil.

Ok then

The man accused of attacking Nancy Pelosi's husband was caught up in conspiracies, defense says

The trial has begun for the man accused of breaking into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home, bludgeoning her husband with a hammer and seeking to kidnap her.

They will say that he is crazy and that being crazy made him more susceptible to taking action based on the things he was reading and sharing on social media.

They will say that because that’s clearly what actually happened.

“Linker's opening remarks referenced a litany of right-wing and QAnon-inspired beliefs about a sinister cabal of government officials and elites - Pelosi, Rep. Adam Schiff, George Soros, Hunter Biden, Tom Hanks, Gov. Gavin Newsom - using wealth and power to spread lies and send the country into ruin.

"Members of the jury, many of us do not believe any of that," said Linker. "But the evidence in this trial will show that Mr. DePape believes all these things…with every ounce of his being."

"At the end of this trial, you will know that the reason he acted had nothing to do with Nancy Pelosi [and her] official duties as a member of Congress," said Linker. "The reason, the why of all of this, had everything to do with the ruling class engaged in corruption. The media spreading lies and protecting children. [DePape] went to the Pelosi home to effectuate his plan as bizarre, misguided and unthoughtful as it was."

The defense also maintained that Paul Pelosi was not part of that plan and that the accused went to the San Francisco home to talk about wealth, power, corruption and preservation of truth, but not to kidnap or attack the Pelosis.

Shocker.

Just read where the guy received the maximum sentence....... Which is fine........ But the rest of California should be upset, their attackers are often back on the streets in no time and often see no jail time.

It was a federal trial and federal sentencing. No idea about California, but the federal system is not known for light punishments.

Ah, thanks for the correction. I was not aware.

is any crime with a congress person's home (not in DC) automatically a federal crime?

really is a world of laws for thee but not for me.
