Boss Recalls Pelosi Attack Suspect's Descent Into Extremism
NBC Bay Area ^ | November 1, 2022 | By Jaxon Van Derbeken

Posted on 11/01/2022 12:02:27 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

When Frank Ciccarelli hired David DePape, he was homeless and living under a tree in Berkeley’s Aquatic Park.

But he was quiet, likeable and a steady worker building decks with Ciccarelli for six years, he recalled Monday. And politically liberal.

Three years ago, Ciccarelli worked out a way for DePape to move into a converted garage in Richmond. It was that single car structure with a plywood floor that the FBI searched over the weekend.

Ciccarelli says over the years, he watched DePape’s steady descent into extremism. It started when DePape would turn off NPR news in the morning on the way to jobsites.

“It was a gradual process – it was over six years,” he said, “day by day.”

While normally quiet, DePape eventually began to repeat talking points that Ciccarelli recognized as being espoused in right wing circles.

Ciccarelli says he last saw Depape when he paid him three days before the attack. He says what happened at the Pelosi’s home shocked him.

But he says there were signs of mental illness. Recently, he said, DePape started talking about building a physical home for an imaginary fairy.

“ talking points that Ciccarelli recognized as being espoused in right wing circles.”

what does that even men? They can state essentially what he said? He was a 9-11 truther and that’s been espoused just as much in left wing circles

Yeah, he must’ve been chanting the non-NPR theories when he attended the BLM protests.

In SF, if you think kids should go back to school - you’re a Nazi.

Reading, writing, and arithmetic - you’re a Nazi.

Go back and look at the Trayvon Martin case - the media repeated lies and fairy tales for 14 months.

The guy was an illegal immigrant, LGBTQIA007+ supporter, had a BLM sign, liked to go nude in public and was a MAGA fan?

But then again he switched off NPR, a sure sign of radicalization.

So he’s a schizophrenic.

"It started when Depape started turning off NPR news on the way to jobsites."

This clown sounds like he's a bigger kook than Depape. A construction boss who listens to NPR news? The boy is a nut. And yes, most Americans don't listen to that communist left-wing NPR "News" BS. It's too extreme far-left psychobabble. This guy sounds like a far-left union thug. He's a Leftwing bull**** artist saying what the far left "media" want to hear for their narrative. Right-wingers don't build houses for fairies and play video games all day. This idiot is a far left liar.

My old boss used to listen to Rush in the morning/early afternoon and then he would turn on NPR afterwards. I would have liked to turn off NPR just to help me stay awake.

Well, in actuality, the mafia connections are on Nancy’s side of the family, not on Paul’s:

Let's see, 2022 minus six years is . . . 2016! Trump! Trump made him crazy! Trump turned him into a violent criminal!
