Dispatcher's 'intuition' may have saved Paul Pelosi, San Francisco's police chief says

An intruder broke into the couple's San Francisco home early on Friday and attacked Paul Pelosi, who is now recovering at hospital. The speaker was not at home during the assault.

San Francisco Police Chief William Scott told reporters that officers who responded to the Pelosi residence at 2:27a.m. encountered an adult male and Mr. Pelosi "both holding a hammer."

The suspect, who police have identified as 42-year-old David Depape, "pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it."

A source briefed on the attack told NPR the assailant was searching for Speaker Pelosi, and confronted her husband, shouting, "Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?"

Thankfully, the Speaker wasn't at home at the time.

Oooh, a two for one. Killer drones for local police!

The headline is a little misleading, in that the "authorities" - the particular sheriff's department involved in this case - really isn't that interested in it and is doing pretty much the least amount of "investigating" that they possibly can. For instance, the sheriff has admitted that cadaver dogs have "hit" on a location indicated by Studey to be the burial site but essentially shrugs it off.

What's amazing is that the police officer did not shoot Mr. Pelosi.

So any takers that the sheriff was told some years back that the dad killed somebody, and either shrugged his shoulders or botched an earlier investigation?

Here it is from a different account


Hoping it stays up.

Here's a version with captions.

The historian Tom Holland made an interesting point on Twitter recently about one of the differences between the US and the UK.

While Rishi Sunak, Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley are all the children of Punjabi parents, Jindal and Haley are both Christian converts, and it's inconceivable at the moment that the US Republicans would choose a practicing Hindu as their leader.

It would be a problem for many Democrats as well. Black churches were a huge part of driving turnout for Obama.

I guess this is what we in England, at least, mean by "religious tolerance" -- we generally tolerate people being religious, and so long as they don't make too big a deal of it and try to impose it on everyone else, we tend to regard it as no more than a mild personal eccentricity, rather as we regard vegetarianism or other dietary preferences.

From what I've been reading, she is saying that she tried to tell teachers, social workers and the like over the years. I'm not sure about the police but it's possible that at least one of those people contacted the police.

Marjorie Taylor Greene saying Pelosi deserves death resurfaces after attack

In a now-deleted video that Greene posted on Facebook, she said that "Pelosi is guilty of treason," which is a crime "punishable by death."

If they take the house, there is talk of this witch being made Speaker of the House. Trump has referenced her as a possible running mate, as well. God help us. She is batshit crazy.

Interesting thread (and link) on what to say, and what not to say, when discussing asylum seekers, as tested with panels.

It's written for a British audience, but I think it might be of interest in the US, too

Pelosi home attack: Report reveals Capitol Police failure to watch cameras, alarm system mystery

U.S. Capitol Police officers were reportedly not monitoring the cameras around House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) home in San Francisco when a man broke

www.washingtonexaminer.com

U.S. Capitol Police officers were reportedly not monitoring the cameras around House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) home in San Francisco when a man broke in and attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer on Friday.

An officer in Washington, D.C., only seemed to notice something when seeing police lights flashing outside the abode, pulling up additional camera angles and backtracking to see the break-in, officials told the Washington Post. This was as a "handful" of officers in the Capitol Police command center were shifting through feeds from 1,800 cameras from the Capitol complex and beyond, the report said.

Current and former law enforcement officials told the news outlet that Capitol Police monitoring cameras can be the best chance for a home attack against a member of Congress to be stopped.

However, in this case, Nancy Pelosi had returned to Washington taking with her much of her around-the-clock security detail, which coincided with officers in Washington putting a stop to constant monitoring of the video feeds from around her house, the report said.

It's not really a mystery; the Capitol Police are protecting the congressperson, not their family. The Speaker of the House is super important and needs protection for obvious reasons; the Speaker's husband sleeping alone in a house on the other side of the country in a city that has its own perfectly functional police department (relative), not so much.
