Blaming the Democrats

On 28 Oct 2022, David Depape broke into the Pelosi’s home. Ms. Pelosi was not home. Mr. Pelosi called 911 and three police officers witnessed Depape and Pelosi wrestling over the hammer. However, Depape “… violently assaulted him with it…” causing Pelosi to undergo surgery “…after sustaining a skull fracture and serious injuries to his hands and right arm…”

The reason for the break in: Depape wanted “…to interrogate Ms. Pelosi…, on an unspecified political matter… If she told the “truth,” he would let her go, but if she “lied,” he intended to break her “kneecaps,” forcing her to be wheeled into Congress as a lesson to other Democrats,…”

Depape’s online presence consisted of “… angry rants and extremist views [and] …featured antisemitic sentiments… [and] anti-white racism.” “What We Know About the Attack on Nancy Pelosi’s Husband,” New York Times, October 2022. He had a list of other people as well.

Skip Thacker wrote the following: “Will an attack like this, on a prominent Democrats’ husband change any lefties mind on defunding police and no bail? Doubtful. Might change Paul Pelosi’s… Note to liberals: it shouldn’t take a crime like this, to your family member, to want law and order ...”

According to the Washington Post, “Domestic terrorism incidents have soared to new highs in the United States, driven chiefly by white-supremacist, anti-Muslim and anti-government extremists on the far right…” “The Rise Of Domestic Extremism In America”, April 2021

Since 2015, the number of attacks with right wing extremism has been 267 attacks and 91 fatalities. In comparison with left wing extremism, it is 66 incidents and 19 deaths.

This study began in 2015 before discussion of defunding. These incidents will continue to get worse due to the pathetic response by many Republicans like Thacker by always blaming the Democrats.
