Looks like they caught the guy. Lets see if he gets the same "cashless bail" treatment that most get in California.

Do you honestly believe that hundreds of unarmed rioters lead by the the Flinstone's Grand Poobah was going to overthrow the government? Let go of that ghost, man.The right has problems denouncing the literally attempt to overthrow the government but you think they will easily denounce an attack on their enemy.. come on you can’t be that naïve
This is bound to continue to happen. Both sides of the media peddle in rage porn (one side is better at it) and the mentally ill and Low IQ eat it up.
If you are constantly told the other team wants to ruin America, eventually some idiot is going to start trying to take out elected officials.
Hell the extremists have been trained to call anything that makes their team look bad or does not fit their ideology as fake. This is not the end of it, and only going to get worse.
i'm not familiar with the protocol, but doesn't the house of the speaker get protection also?
shoudln't there have been some police car there or something?
Nancy wasn't there so the extra security wasn't there.i'm not familiar with the protocol, but doesn't the house of the speaker get protection also?

<{chips}>This whole situation seems fugazi as fuck.
So this guy just strolls right into their mansion with no security to confront him? (granted, Pelosi didn't order extra security for Jan 6 either, allowing that to happen)
He manages to get inside and attack Paul Pelosi litterally right as Police are doing a "wellfare check" at 2:30 AM?
Why is there no information about who alerted the Police?
Nancy wasn't there so the extra security wasn't there.

Assailant's name is David Depape
DePape was booked on various charges, including attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary among others, San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said in a news conference.
DePape, 42, is from Berkeley, California.
He grew up in Canada, in Powell River, British Columbia, according to CNN.
DePape was a nudity activist in California
While in California, DePape was an activist who promoted public nudity in 2011 and 2012, California state Sen. Scott Wiener, recalled and told the San Francisco Chronicle.
DePape lived with Gypsy Taub, another nude activist, and her family. The Chronicle identified DePape in 2013 as a “hemp jewelry maker,” and “father figure” to Taub’s three children.
The group that DePape lived with also promoted conspiracy theories at the time, including the theory that 9/11 was “an inside job,” the Chronicle reported.

Yea, 70s were much worse. Still, I don’t like some recent events that have cropped up. This, Kavanaugh, house reps softball game. Then you have group incivility with Jan 6th. I don’t put the riots the summer before in the same camp but would say I was disappointed in how they were observed at that time. There’s been some wacky stuff. Hell, I think someone ever landed a small helecopter in front of the capital building to go in and hand them his manefesto. I don’t think that one was violent though, just unhinged.
they don't need to. the dude already is a maga muppet, just like you.
Alleged Paul Pelosi attacker posted multiple conspiracy theories
The man who allegedly attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband early Friday posted memes and conspiracy theories on Facebook about Covid vaccines, the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, and an acquaintance told CNN that he seemed “out of touch with reality.”
David DePape, 42, was identified by police Friday as the suspect in the assault on Paul Pelosi at the speaker’s San Francisco home.
Two of DePape’s relatives told CNN that DePape is estranged from his family, and confirmed that the Facebook account – which was taken down by the social media company on Friday – belonged to him.
His stepfather, Gene DePape, said David DePape grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, and left Canada about 20 years ago to pursue a relationship that brought him to California.
“I really don’t know what to think,” the suspect’s uncle, Mark DePape, said of his nephew’s alleged attack on Pelosi. “Hopefully it’s a scam. I don’t want to hear something like that.”
Assailant tried to tie up Paul Pelosi in home attack and shouted, 'Where is Nancy?' sources say
Last year, David DePape posted links on his Facebook page to multiple videos produced by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell falsely alleging that the 2020 election was stolen. Other posts included transphobic images and linked to websites claiming Covid vaccines were deadly. “The death rates being promoted are what ever ‘THEY’ want to be promoted as the death rate,” one post read.
DePape also posted links to YouTube videos with titles like “Democrat FARCE Commission to Investigate January 6th Capitol Riot COLLAPSES in Congress!!!” and “Global Elites Plan To Take Control Of YOUR Money! (Revealed)”
Two days after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd, DePape wrote that the trial was “a modern lynching,” falsely indicating that Floyd died of a drug overdose.
He also posted content about the “Great Reset”– the sprawling conspiracy theory that global elites are using coronavirus to usher in a new world order in which they gain more power and oppress the masses. And he complained that politicians making promises to try to win votes “are offering you bribes in exchange for your further enslavement.”
Most of the public posts on DePape’s Facebook page were from 2021. In earlier years, DePape also posted long screeds about religion, including claims that “Jesus is the anti christ.” None of the public posts appeared to mention Pelosi.
Two former acquaintances of DePape’s in California told CNN he exhibited concerning behavior over the years.
Linda Schneider said she got to know DePape roughly eight years ago and that he occasionally housesat for her. When they met, she said, DePape was living in a storage unit in the Berkeley area and told her he had been struggling with hard drugs but was “trying to create a new life for himself.”
Schneider later received “really disturbing” emails from DePape in which he sounded like a “megalomaniac and so out of touch with reality,” she said. She said she stopped communicating with him “because it seemed so dangerous,” adding that she recalled him “using Biblical justification to do harm.”
Laura Hayes, who also lives in California, said she worked with DePape for a few months roughly a decade ago making hemp bracelets when he was living in a storage shed in the Berkeley area. She said DePape sold the bracelets as a business.
“He was very odd. He didn’t make eye contact very well,” Hayes said. She recalled him saying that “he talks to angels and there will be a hard time coming.” But she didn’t remember any seriously threatening comments, and said she didn’t think much of it because “it’s Berkeley,” a place where eccentric characters aren’t uncommon.
Hayes, who was Facebook friends with DePape, called his more recent posts “so phobic in so many ways” and filled with “so much anger.”
