SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 28: A San Francisco police officer stands guard in front of the home of U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on October 28, 2022 in San Francisco, California. Paul Pelosi, the husband of U.S. Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi, was violently attacked in their home by an intruder. One arrest has been made. Speaker Pelosi was not at home at the time of the attack.
Reportedly Paul Pelosi attacker is David Depape — a Castro supporting nudist transient from Berkeley CA (he’s on the far LEFT literally and figuratively)
The man who allegedly broke into the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi, was identified Friday afternoon as 42-year-old David Depape.
Police said at a press conference that they responded to the home around 2:30 a.m. and that when they arrived on scene they witnessed the suspect and Paul Pelosi fighting for control of a hammer. The suspect “pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it,” police said.
“Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid,” police added.
No motive was released as officials said that the investigation was ongoing.
Both Paul Pelosi and the suspect were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
“Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said. “The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation. Mr. Pelosi was taken to the hospital, where he is receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery.”
Heavy.com, a fact-finding website, highlighted a tweet from a Mission Local journalist Joe Eskenazi that stated: “My sources also name the suspect in this morning’s hammer attack on Paul Pelosi as David DePape, born 1980, of Berkeley. He would appear to be a former Castro nudist protester. Things appear set to be bizarre for a while.”
The report highlighted a 2013 article San Francisco Chronicle in which the same man appears to have been mentioned, although his name is spelled wrong in the article but is spelled correctly in the captions of the one of the photos included in the article. The article described him as a “hemp jewelry maker.”
Nancy Pelosi was not home when the attacked occurred.
CNN reported that the assailant tried to tie Paul Pelosi up and repeatedly asked, “Where’s Nancy?” When the police arrived at the residence, the attacker said he was “waiting for Nancy,” the report said.
The U.S. Capitol Police, FBI and San Francisco Police Department are conducting a joint investigation into the attack, according to the Capitol Police, which said in a statement that staff from the field office “quickly arrived on scene, while a team of investigators from the Department’s Threat Assessment Section was simultaneously dispatched from the East Coast to assist the FBI and the San Francisco Police with a joint investigation.”

I think it means he’s a Castro street gay.
makes more sense.
he is a member of the Green Party
People do not know the extent of the activity there.
Nonsense.
.
Sex and drugs
It’ll lead back to that…
If the alarm goes off they call the cops for a burglary in progress NOT a wellness check..a wellness check is if you dont hear from your 80 yr old aunt in a week and are worried something may have happened to her..also the perp was found in his UNDIES..who goes to attack someone and leaves on only his undies
.
Pretty much.
Sexual encounter with cash due
Fair nuff.
We can both agree that the pro Castro nudist stuff was written incorrectly. He would have been a “pro nudist protestor in Castro…”
This thread is FINE without pics.
I thought they lived in a freaking compound. And he broke in? More to this story…
Who said he was against gays?
There is so much bad information out here.
The guy is a Berkeley kook. It’s pretty simple.
Trying to assign much political motivation on this guy would be like assigning political motivation to a dog who digs holes in your front lawn.
And Paul should have had a firearm in his home.
because it is being reported in a way that could mean multiple things
“‘Former Castro Nudist Protester’”
Protesting Against gay community
From castro and protesting nudity
From Castro and goes around protesting in the nude
Etc.
Bingo. A date with a male prostitute that went bad.
How do the cops arrive in time to see the attacker take the hammer away from Pelosi and beat him?
This is going to be juicy.
Hell, I sure knew. That’s why I didn’t bend over on the sidewalk on Castro.
Exactly, especially since it sounds like the police got there extremely quickly... i.e. inside security probably intervened or called cops when a known visitor got violent.
The Castro District of San Francisco, gets regular protests against the SF anti-nudity laws

If only someone would ask what Caitlyn Jenner thinks of all this!
I think I can clarify -
There were protests originating in San Franciscos Castro district, a few years ago, by people insisting they have the right to go around nude. This sort of thing extended all the way down to Market Street and the Embarcadero.

I got the impression that there was only one hammer but they both had a grip on it when PD arrived.
CASTRO WAS NUDE ?
