They can't when they are locked up in a padded room. Or I guess its alot harder for them to, the vote canvassers probably aren't allowed into those facilities.

The unhinged assailant used a hammer to nail Mr. Pelosi.

I know, I know, tacky, since Mr. Pelosi’s ball peen blood after his mauling.

While poor Paul is getting all this coverage, how many average every day folks were assaulted we’ll never hear about?

It is amazing how the media claims he will make a full recovery after getting hit in ht head at least once with a hammer and now undergoing brain surgery. Sure if he has a small subdural hematoma but who knows. He will certainly experience some degree of anxiety and poor sleep for sometime to come.

The "full recovery" claim was made early on by Nancy Pelosi's office.

ok thanks

“Facing the prospect of Mrs. Pelosi coming home to care for him, Mr. Pelosi was placed on suicide watch and is reported to be working with federal investigators…”

Skull fracture. Ol' Paul is lucky to be alive.

I can't believe we're this far in and no one is taking about how we need responsible common sense hammer laws...

Oh, that's because it's old, tired and not funny.

The man who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul with a hammer early Friday morning is a former nudist from British Columbia who has struggled with drugs and posted crazed COVID conspiracy theories, anti-Semitic rants, racist slurs and unhinged screeds on religion online.

Police said they arrested hemp jewelry maker David DePape, 42, after he broke into the Pelosis' $6million San Francisco home in at 2.27 am in his underwear and beat 82-year-old Paul Pelosi with a hammer while shouting 'where's Nancy'.

Cops say were at the property in the exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood when they saw the suspect grapple with Pelosi, take the hammer and then hit him with it, causing severe head, arm and hand injuries.

When they arrested Depape, they found a manifesto that contained anti-government COVID beliefs and a list of other politicians he planned to target, KTVU reported.

Pelosi was taken into surgery to repair a skull fracture after the attack but is expected to make a full recovery, while DePape is in custody and set to be charged with multiple felonies including attempted homicide.

President Joe Biden called the attack 'horrible' and Republican and Democrats condemned the violence as the House Speaker rushed from DC to San Francisco to be at her husband's side.

DePape grew up north of the border but moved from British Columbia to California 20 years ago. He followed a love interest, his stepfather told CNN, and family members have insisted he was a 'good kid'.

He ended up in the Berkeley area, an ultra-liberal enclave of the city, where he lived in a three-bedroom Victorian flat with famed nudist activist Gypsy Taub and a group who believed 9/11 was an 'inside job'.

A November 2008 article in the Oakland Tribune reported that he had ‘three small children’ with Russian-born Taub. She was quoted in the article on community meals saying: ‘In Russia, where I am from, people share more, and I want my kids to grow up knowing sharing.’

Taub and her fiance Jaymz Smith tapped DePape to be their best man at their nudist wedding in 2013, but he stayed dressed and took photos during the ceremony that attracted a huge police presence.

An acquaintance of his told CNN that DePape was struggling with hard drugs about eight years ago but was 'trying to create a new life for himself.' She said she cut off contact with DePape after receiving 'disturbing' emails in which he sounded 'dangerous' and 'out of touch with reality.'

His social media showed he posted conspiracy theories about the origins of the covid epidemic, about the validity of the 2020 election, and on the January 6th insurrection on Capitol Hill.

He first began posting on a blog titled ‘God Is Loving’ in June 2007 with rambling screeds about religion. He stopped posting for 15 years – then suddenly started again on August 24 this year with racist, sexist, anti-semitic and crazed entries about the Q-Anon conspiracy theory. A Right winger, yeah sure..not

I've got a similar feeling as when Harry Reid got beat up by his gym equipment.

I wonder if anybody would mind if I put this bumper sticker on Princess Pelosi's limo, or Paul's Porsche: "Privilege Made Me Complacent"

I'm reminded of a line in Dirty Harry:

...anybody can tell I didn't do that to him.

Chief : How?

Harry Callahan : Cause he looks too damn good, that's how!

got to be a ton of security cameras in that neighborhood which might provide some hints. At least a Ring doorbell or two.

Are they ever together.

Frequent separation is the key to a long and happy marriage.

At least in their case.

Paul Pelosi was able to call 911 at the start of the attack, according to a law enforcement source and another source familiar with the matter.

Pelosi managed to keep the line open and the dispatcher could hear a conversation in the background, according to the law enforcement source.

Pelosi was talking in code, said the law enforcement source, providing enough detail so that the operator overhearing it could understand that there was something wrong. At the same time, Pelosi seemed to be trying not to make it obvious to the intruder that he had an open line, the source described.

The source said the dispatcher could hear Pelosi speaking about what was going on and dispatched police to check on the house.

The struggle with Pelosi was captured on a police body-camera as police came through the door to intervene, according to one of the sources.

Jenkins confirmed the call, telling Burnett: “It is really thanks to Mr. Pelosi having the ability to make that call, and truly the attention and the instincts of that dispatcher to realize that something was wrong in that situation and to make the police call a priority so they got there within two minutes to respond to this situation.”

Police have been able to speak with the suspect, who suffered “some minor injuries” during the incident, Jenkins said.

The man who assaulted Paul Pelosi tried to tie him up “until Nancy got home,” according to two sources familiar with the situation. When the police arrived, the assailant was saying he was “waiting for Nancy.”

“the suspect pulled a hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it. Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid.”

A homeless drug addict. Shocked, I tell you.

If Paul had kept a gun around for home defense instead of a fucking hammer, he wouldn’t be undergoing brain surgery.

None of this looks good for Democrats, but by God, they’re gonna spin it. Covid conspiracist, Qanon and anti-Semite plays better than homeless dirtball hippie on meth… if you’re a leftist or a total moron.
