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.”

Maybe “wellness check” is what they call it when the cops respond to a security alarm. Not sure.
got the impression that there was only one hammer but they both had a grip on it when PD arrived.
I’m betting there were 2 “hammers” and they were each “holding” one.
It occurs to me that he was welcomed in and then things went bad.
I just read he was a nudist hemp jewelry maker.
Must be Mega MAGA.
One can't tell from the pictures whether the glass was broken from the inside or outside. Punch one small hole, pull out enough pieces to get to the door handle ... And the bit about the underwear ... I've seen no such information. Pelosi may have been sleeping in his underwear, kind of ordinary.
These thing happen fast. Glass breaks, sets off motion detector or some alarm, cops come before the perp got the hammer and assaulted Pelosi.
The Castro is the main homosexual neighborhood.
The phrase “violently attacked” is used in every single article. Wonder what the significance is of the talking points mass spam.
.
And that’s what happened

ICWUDT
I dunno...I’m just blown away someone of Pelosi’s stature and wealth has less security than I do at my humble little home.
It don’t sound right.
The guy’s facebook page is filled with J6 and COVID and symbology conspiracies. He cannot be classified as Left or Right. He’s all crazy.
But I betcha that's the story the Dems will keep telling.
“He was also caught wearing ONLY his underwear when confronted by cops.”
Last night I shot an elephant in my underwear .. . HOW he got into my underwear I’ll never know .. .
I just think its weird for any assailant to attack someone in their undies this is some kind of tinder vibe written all over it
Yeah....“Hey, Daniel....sit on pervy gay “Uncle Dave’s” lap while we watch TV.”
I think it was protesting the anti-nude laws. There was a picture of him at a protest, all hung out to dry.
The headlines are a total mess.
You think it’s weird because it IS weird. Crazy people, although allowed to roam free in liberal cities, do weird/illegal things.
The old joke....”What do you do if you drop your keys in San Francisco?” “Kick them to Oakland.”
Being married to Nancy, I can almost sympathize with him.
