calm down. there's a press conference coming...obviously. |
He’s undergoing brain surgery now, yes. |
From what I've read, they were both holding onto the same hammer when the police arrived. The suspect got hold of the hammer after a struggle with Pelosi and then started assaulting him with it, but the police broke it up soon thereafter. |
Take a breath. The initial report is police discovered Pelosi and the assailant struggling to gain control over the hammer. The suspect then took the hammer and began striking Pelosi just before being restrained and taken into custody. There were also reports of an attempt to subdue Pelosi by tying him up with rope until his wife returned home. The public may not ever learn all the details: |
I read that Pelosi had the hammer, and this guy took it from him. Perhaps it was a small hammer that he was carrying at his age, though even these would be deadly. Or maybe the guy wielded it like a baseball bat. |
The original report is from a hyper local news source. They are not talking about Fidel Castro. https://sfist.com/2015/01/30/once_home_to_nudists_castro_plaza_n/ |
A logical inference would be that the assailslsng had the hammer and used it to break the glass door in the rear of the property, if one really felt the need to speculate. |
The police showed up. |
| Who could have anticipated something like this? It’s not like the right wing has put a target on Pelosi’s back for decades? Oh, wait … |
yup. listen to mitch mcconnell talk about how happy he is that "dear paul" wasn't harmed in this terrible incident. Gag me. |
| Omg this is so upsetting. MAGA just won’t stop. |
I'm just here to post that it's INCREDIBLY INTERESTING that the Fox News article does not allow comments. Doesn't Fox News always allow comments? Hm, I wonder why they chose to suppress their follower's comments on this particular piece of news??

Here's the article. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nancy-pelosi-husband-paul-pelosi-assaulted-san-francisco-suspect-david-depape-police-say |
| The only issue of interest at this point is whether the US Attorney will overfile with federal charges based on the evidence available. The less publicity the better for now. |

Nancy Pelosi has two dozen full time guards and state of the art home security.
The tapes will tell us what happened if this is ever prosecuted |
