    He said he never wanted to hurt Paul, but still seems to want to kill Nancy.

    That basically makes him completely unrepentant. Here’s hoping he finds a shred of humanity in his many, many years behind bars.

      I don’t know anything about law but it does seem like politically targeted crimes should carry a harsher sentence in the same way that hate crimes do. It’s not just a violent act, but it’s also an attack on social order and democracy itself.

        I’d be very careful about that.

        Protest is a political act. Trespassing is a crime. Should someone be sentenced to years in prison for protesting if they step off the sidewalk and onto private property?

        You could limit it to violence, but again… There is a lot of potential for abuse.

    Was there ever any more brought to light about that super duper awkward video of the arrest, where they were standing around holding drinks while it was occuring?

    I’m not trying to fluff up conspiracies, just haven’t heard about that video since it happened

      What video are you talking about? When the cops showed up they were fighting over a hammer and then Pelosi got his head bashed in before the cops immediately arrested Depape

        Ya that one. In the video i remember watching, the two were standing around awkwardly with drink in hand when the cops showed up. Then one awkwardly swung a hammer before a little tussle with the cops and then the arrest. I was just asking if any more context came to light, but ended up getting down voted by people who can somehow watch that video and say “yup totally normal” without being any more curious what happened before the door was opened and they started being filmed.

        But i guess I can’t ask those questions simply because conservatives with bad takes exist?? Ya okaayyyyyyy
