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 like South Park, but damned if I’d watch it with young children.
“””Hell, I sure knew. That’s why I didn’t bend over on the sidewalk on Castro.”””
Our dad was born and raised in San Francisco. From a very early age he taught his sons:
“What do you do when you drop your wallet on Castro or Polk... Do not bend over, kick it to Geary.”
Occam’s razor.
Wow! How does one square that circle?!
I think the two gentelmen “knew” each other. And Nancy is a “beard”.
I never saw so many assless chaps in my life! I was so crowded it took a while to get through it.

I was stuck in the Folsom St. Fair traffic once with several small children in the car. It would have been funny in a sitcom. In real life it was nightmarish and horrific. We could barely crawl along in our car. I was telling the kids to cover their eyes. It was way beyond “assless chaps”
Well there’s the problem Berkeley.
Mr. Pelosi is known to drink to excess, but last night he really got hammered.

If they could hammer nails into a 2x4 with those things I would be impressed. Disturbed but impressed.
It is pretty clear this guy was just a mentally ill kook. Details that signal this include:
1: Qanon follower
2: “da jews”
3: Mike Lindell fan
4: Covid Vaccine conspiracist
5: born in Canada
Fetterman would release him on cashless bail and apologize for confiscating his hammer.
Castro Valley is actually relatively conservative.
They are referring to the ultra-gay Castro District in the city of SF.
If he had been conservative rather than a marxist, the 'news' would have been leaked hours ago by the FBI to the Washington Post - and we'd all be painted with the same broad brush - as domestic terrorists.
As is, he'll be judged as having mental problems and he'll only represent himself... and the story will lose what legs it has...
The old double standard with the press and 'intelligence' pimping for the sake of democrats.
I believe the Castro district in San Francisco is where most gays live.
Between Fidel and the Castro District, those SF ‘Rats sure love Castro!/s
