I know that if someone breaks into my house at 2:30 in the morning, the first thing I do is fix a cocktail. Only after that do I look for my robe or firearm.
Well, he did just pick up a DUI @ 82, so he is a serious party animal.
I would have my dog fix the cocktail—or attack the perp.
Decisions, decisions....

After listening to the 911 call and watching the security video and the body cam, I'm inclined to think Pelosi is possibly innocent in this.
A scenario:
I think he may have been sitting in his underwear in another part of the house with a drink. Or he was getting undressed for bed. He heard glass breaking and went to investigate. He finds DePape who wants see Nancy.
In the 911 call Pelosi is trying to hint he is in trouble without upsetting DePape who is listening to the call. The idiot operator is not picking up on it and tries to get off the phone but Pelosi stops her and hints more strongly that he doesn't know the guy and finally she asks his name. She sends officers.
When the door opens Pelosi is standing there in a button-up shirt and boxer-briefs and a drink, one hand on the hammer DePape has. DePape is fully dressed in shorts, shirt and tennis shoes. Pelosi greets the officers and they ask if all is OK. DePape answers that there is no problem.
Officers see the hammer and order him to drop it. He says; "Uh, no". Then he tries to gain control of the hammer and Pelosi resists. Pelosi says; "Hey! Hey, hey, hey" just before DePape pulls it free and goes for Pelosi.
I believed the worst, as most here do, till the videos and 911 call. What I don't understand, if all this is true, is why they resisted releasing the videos and 911 call.
I only watched FOX at 1 or so and that coverage with John Roberts and Sandra Smith was disgusting.
“He was so calm - he handled it so well, blah blah blah”. Everything except HE (Pelosi) WAS DRUNK! Not a single mention that he answered his door with a glass of booze in his left hand at 2:30 in the morning.
Anyone with a brain AND SOBER would be screaming bloody murder that a stranger broke into his house - but instead said, “he’s waiting for my wife?” I’ll see what FOX has to report this evening -perhaps some truth?
Hey - I don’t blame the guy for drinking - if I was married to THAT, I would stay drunk!!!!
