Paul Pelosi and the violence we care about
spiked ^ | 10/31/2022

Posted on 10/31/2022 8:55:26 AM PDT by devane617

A possibly crazed individual approaching the home of a powerful politician with plastic fasteners that can be used to bind a person’s hands – it was both a nightmarish prospect and a familiar one, too. Wasn’t another public figure in the US recently targeted by someone who had zip ties? And a gun, a knife, pepper spray and a crowbar? Yes. It was Brett Kavanaugh. But many don’t remember that. Because thanks to the media, certain acts of political hate get less traction than others.

People are rightly horrified by what happened to Paul Pelosi on Friday. David DePape allegedly broke into the Pelosi home and yelled ‘Where is Nancy?’. She wasn’t there. DePape then allegedly attacked Mr Pelosi, who is 82, with a hammer. Pelosi suffered a skull fracture and is still in hospital, though he is expected to make a full recovery. This was a horrific assault on an elderly person, as well as seeming to have been motivated by a deep political animus. Sadly, it was not a one-off. There was a creepily similar incident at the home of Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh in Maryland in June.

A 26-year-old man from California travelled to Maryland allegedly with the intention of murdering Kavanaugh. That’s what he is charged with – attempted murder. He was armed with a tactical knife, a Glock 17 pistol, zip ties and other murderous paraphernalia. The difference between Kavanaugh’s alleged tormentor and the man who allegedly broke into the Pelosi home is that the former failed to gain entry. He spied two US marshals close to Kavanaugh’s home and called off his deadly mission. Kavanaugh was luckier than Paul Pelosi.

I’m not horrified by what happened. Just watching the wagons slavishly circle around the Democrats to protect them.

Odd. People are shot and beaten in SF, Chicago, NYC, Detroit, etc on a regular basis, but the media going ballistic over one of America’s “royals” being attacked with a hammer. Under very strange circumstance which will be covered up.

Its as if Hillary Clinton controls the media.

People are DYING all over, and we’re supposed to hyperventilate because Nancy’s husband was struck in his home - the home that supposedly has ZERO security as he lives alone, a well-known millionaire worth $300 million? He doesn’t even have a Chihuahua?

People in Tucson in high crime areas - and many in lower crime areas - have bars over the windows. Security systems - which are pretty cheap now. And often a dog AND a gun!

But someone with $300 million has NOTHING - AND we’re supposed to be overcome with grief while ignoring all the people DYING?

If Paul Pelosi REALLY had zero security, both HE AND NANCY deserve anything bad that happens!

Following democrat logic, Wawa needs Paul Pelosie to be their official store greeter.

Then there is the SFPD average response time to calls. It would be interesting to know what priority was given to Pelosi’s tepid 911 call because it sure doesn’t sound like a Priority A.

The median response time for Priority A calls (the highest priority) was about 7 minutes; for Priority B, about 21 minutes; and for Priority C, about 79 minutes.

When journalists stop reporting the news, the news still makes its way out. It’s just messy and takes time.

The dispatcher, Heather Grimes, made a wise judgement call:

Kavanaugh didn’t open the door for his intruder. That’s why he didn’t gain access.

He didn’t break in. He was let in.

A break in would’ve set off alarms, and the police would’ve been notified right away.

The police went only for a welfare check, because Pelosi called the emergency line, and they said he sounded confused.

After the cops showed up, the assault began.

You have to sign in or sign up to be able to access that 911 call tape. Otherwise, you are redirected to the home page.

The 911 call is not available to the public. I referred to the reasoning behind it becoming a priority call. From the link I provided:

“...Scott said the dispatcher who received the call was suspicious enough about what she heard from Paul Pelosi that she boosted the priority from a “well-being check” to a “Code 3” emergency. The chief suggested Saturday morning that Pelosi was trying to give indications that something was wrong without directly saying it in front of the suspect....”

Ok thx for that info. So we can’t hear the call for ourselves, just what the police department is willing to say about it. That’s the norm, alright…for the elites who want to control the narrative.

What I would like to know is how the P.D. were able to get to the scene of the crime while the crime was still in progress. They got to watch the meathead donk old Pauly on the noggin’. It almost sounds as though the cops might have had a heads up. I’ve never heard of any other home invasions where the cops showed up before or at the same time as the perps and actually become witnesses to the crime themselves.
