David DePape, the man convicted of breaking into the home of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and bludgeoning her husband with a hammer was sentenced to 30 years in prison Friday by a federal judge.

DePape was convicted in November of attempting to kidnap a federal official and assaulting a federal official’s family member after a four-day trial. A jury returned a verdict after less than 10 hours of deliberation.

I can’t believe he got 30 years.

Just deport him. I don’t think he’s an American. I doubt if he would come running back for the same treatment. Maybe after Nancy takes her final catnap.

Ridiculous. Black crazies attack people daily and they get nothing.

Oops. Silly me. It’s (D)ifferent.

Why not? He nearly killed the man. It’s within the sentencing guideline range.

DePape was the wrong color.

He should have attacked a Republican. He would have been given probation.

30 years? Manslaughter only gets them 20.

Same here. I don’t think the attack was random. The whole thing was just too odd. So DePape knew things. I thought for sure he’d get a sweetheart deal of some sort in return for his silence.

On the other hand, Jeffrey Epstein’s procurer Ghislaine Maxwell knew things, too. And she got 20 years.

Maybe I should just get out of the trial prediction business.

So Nancy Pelosi, the Patron Saint of Insider Trading, is protected from any more attacks by this guy. I wonder if the security cameras on his cell have been turned off already.

This doesn’t appear to be a strong law and order thread.

30 years? You’d think he’d taken a tour of the Capitol!

Maxwell was a cohort and shee did really bad things.

In her case sentencing her to 20 always seemed to me,the less she was & the less she was seen was to the better & benefit of those public figures who participated in Jeffies schemes.

I have considered that Maxwell might have gotten 20 years of protection.

Someone ‘nearly kills’ someone else almost every day in NYC. What kinds of sentences are they getting?

If he attacked a regular American he would already be back on the street
