I missed your point. His probable PTSD is related to the assault. Who he is married to is irrelevant.

I'm sure anyone that has to put up with Nancy Pelosi for a while would have PTSD. Maybe that's why he drinks so much. Wouldn't you?

Two years after an attacker was able to enter the Pelosi home, the Capitol Police force plans to pay the city $1 million for a 24/7 presence.
Two years after a hammer-wielding attacker broke into Nancy Pelosi’s home in the middle of the night, the San Francisco Police Department is set to renew a lapsed agreement with federal police to provide 24/7 security at the house in exchange for $1 million.
The new agreement comes in the wake of the federal conviction of Paul Pelosi attacker David DePape and an uptick in recent protests calling on the Congresswoman to back a ceasefire in Gaza. Two people were recently arrested and charged for protest activities related to Pelsoi’s position on the conflict.
The new agreement, which is retroactive to January, is set to go before the Board of Supervisors later this month.
“The law enforcement services shall include support and enhancements” to existing security, according to the memorandum of understanding. The document says SFPD officers will remain outside of the home seven days a week and at all hours of the day and night, whether or not Nancy Pelosi is in the home.
The initial agreement lapsed in 2021, according to a report late last year in Roll Call. An internal Capitol Police memo revealed that “the department cast blame for the missing police presence on long-standing policies, budget shortfalls and unresponsive San Francisco officials.”
On Oct. 28, 2022 DePape broke into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home, where he was arrested by police officers who witnessed him attack Paul Pelosi with a hammer. DePape confronted Pelosi shouting, “Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?”
Two SFPD officers arrived at the scene and saw the attack after Paul Pelosi opened the front door. After DePape struck Pelosi, the officers intervened and detained him.
DePape later told police about his intention to kidnap Nancy Pelosi in a lone mission to punish her for her politics, court records say.
DePape was eventually convicted on two federal counts for assaulting Paul Pelosi and attempting to kidnap then-speaker Pelosi when he broke into the couple’s home. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison in May.
DePape’s state case is in progress.
Pelosi’s office declined to comment on security protocols. The Capitol Police declined to comment on its security plans. An SFPD spokesperson said due to security concerns, the department could not release the number of officers who will be tasked with watching the Pelosi home.

I hope the Pelosis will remember to thank the taxpayers for that little consideration. Not holding my breath, though.

TexasScrubI'm not a Matthewmatician but that's $114 an hour. I feel like as a taxpayer I'm getting ripped off, unless there's gonna be more than one, and if that's the case I want my money back.

NO. Look up the definition of PTSD. PTSD is an overused term.

There is some question about whether this exchange really took place, and if so, who the participants were. One version:
Nancy Astor to Winston Churchill:
“If you were my husband, sir, I’d give you a dose of poison!”Churchill's response:
“If I were your husband, I’d take it!”

Correct but it’s probly worse. Please note that starting pay for a SFPD officer is $50 an hour. That’s for a rookie, day 1 out of academy. And only goes up from there + overtime + lavish gold plated health benefits + pension contribution from city.
Just 1 officer sitting in a car 24/7 in the Pelosi driveway, my guess is the SF taxpayer is net net getting rolled and 1mm is not covering it. But they are used to it, not my problem.

ZSMICHAELNancy is clearly a shrew, which I am sure Paul knew when he married her.

parabellumFucking assholes. This is excessive. The punishment does not fit the crime, but Democrats are so fucking special, aren't they?
Yes, the man deserves prison time, but, life without parole? Outrageous. Paul Pelosi survived the attack. To take all of DePape's life from him is not justice. As someone on Twitter noted, the man who attacked Rand Paul got eight months in prison.
Paul Pelosi attacker sentenced to life in prison without parole quote:
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The man who was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for attacking the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a hammer in their California home was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole following a separate state trial.
A San Francisco jury in June found David DePape guilty of charges including aggravated kidnapping, first-degree burglary and false imprisonment of an elder.
Before issuing the sentence, Judge Harry Dorfman dismissed arguments from DePape’s attorneys that he be granted a new trial for the 2022 attack against Paul Pelosi, who was 82 years old at the time.
“It’s my intention that Mr. DePape will never get out of prison, he can never be paroled,” Dorfman said while handing out the punishment.

100% correct.
Since he is already in the federal prison system, with 30 years to serve, he'd be about 67 when first eligible for early release. He's more likely to be 70 or 72 before he gets early release from the feds.
What value is there in extending his incarceration beyond that point?

YooperSigsIt would appear that DePape is seriously mentally ill. Does he need to be off the street and institutionalized? Without a doubt! Keep him in a secure mental health facility and treat him. Ala John Hinckley. His lawyers did nothing for him and he is grossly overcharged. Both state and federal charges? Ridiculous!

220-9erI'd be more worried at this point when the Menendez brothers get released, like it now appears is likely to happen.
There's already talk of how much they will be able to sell their story for and other income producing opportunities.
I don't have a lot of sympathy for Pelosi's attacker but there are undoubtedly many in California that have done worse and have much less punishment.

I can say that I've seen people who did far worse get far less time.
