New details about Pelosi attack
We still don’t know what happened there. Where are the police videos?
You are a very dutiful little parrot, aren’t you? Instead of simply decrying political violence and wishing Mr. Pelosi a speedy and full recovery, right wing leaders and their media is full of this kind of scurrilous bullshit. And you join in by spreading the filth.
Your “source” states . . . “Well well well. It seems that Paul Pelosi is the mysterious person who opened the door and let illegal migrant and nudist into the house.”
And for proof it links to an NBC video which says NO SUCH THING. Mr. Pelosi opened the door to the police responding to his 911 call not to the attacker.
You really embarrass and disgrace yourself with this kind of posting. What do you think you are achieving? Are you too lazy to use the Google and get some reliable facts? It took me less than a minute to find this which appears to be a well-documented time line of events . . .

Did you not read the part where NBC DELETED the tweet? I had already read your link while looking for the deleted but preserved tweet.
I didn’t pay a lot of attention to the commentary surrounding the preserved tweet, just to the tweet itself.
The tweet itself does not support Pelosi opening the door to the attacker, but it does support him opening the door to the police and not seeking protection from them.
As I wrote, we don’t know the whole story, but we do know that the police bodycam videos will resolve the issue if we ever see them.

So what if the Tweet got deleted. There is nothing in it that was not reported elsewhere, as in the link I provided. Maybe the author was embarrassed by his tone deafness once he understood the facts better.
The lead sentence from your source is a flat out lie dripping with perverse innuendo. Now you are trying to make something out of the fact that Pelosi apparently tried – unsuccessfully – to avoid provoking the lunatic to violence when the police arrived.
THERE IS NO “ISSUE” TO RESOLVE. The facts are very clear. A deranged person motivated by rightwing hate speech and demonization of Nancy Pelosi sought her out to do her harm.
As I said above, you are a dutiful little parrot spreading baseless slime and innuendo. And in doing so you exhibit the level of intellect and honesty one has come to expect from MAGA-Republicans. You ought to be embarrassed and ashamed. IMHO.

The tweet was from an NBC spokesman. The article was by a commentator who downloaded it before it was deleted.
All Pelosi had to do when the police arrived would have been to step out the door and ask for protection. He didn’t, instead walking back into DePape’s reach.
I have not assigned any motive to that choice, but I note that it is odd and requires some explanation. The police bodycams could provide that explanation, so why have they not been released or at least shown to independent parties?

RE: “The facts are very clear. A deranged person motivated by rightwing hate speech and demonization of Nancy Pelosi sought her out to do her harm.”
That sounds more like fantasy than fact to me. There is little evidence DePape is rightwing and contradictory evidence that he is leftwing. Reportedly he had a web site with some Qanon material on it, but that is hardly definitive. Also, he decorated his abode with a BLM flag, but that isn’t definitive, either.
My guess is that DePape was a homosexual pick-up that went wrong for Pelosi, but I don’t expect that to be confirmed. But it is a certainty that Democrats are trying to spin the incident to fit their delusions. Sad.

What about NYC and Chicago. Huge cities, but the state crime rates are very low compared to the Deep South.

NYC homicide rates are pretty low anyway.
Of course all this can change with new rulings on carry. With some help, blue states can achieve red state rates.

I have heard of all of them. OK City is run by Republicans. The point is that they do not represent a major part of their state’s population in the way that a city like New Orleans does. For example, the population of Jackson is 150,000 or 5% of the MS population. New Orleans is about 20% of the population of Louisiana. In other words, your usual blame shifting to “urban” people is a dog that won’t hunt to explain those sorry facts.
Do you deny that the lax gun laws in those states are the work of the GOP which controls their Legislatures? Do you have any evidence that the high homicide rates of those states is centered in those small cities or is that just your good old boy assumptions kicking in?
The reality is that red rural – especially southern – America is every bit as violent as San Francisco and then some.

Los Angeles abt to become the murder capital of the US and we haven’t even considered Oakland and San Bernardino. Those pacifist California gun laws sure make a difference against out of control crime.
