Paul Pelosi Attack

[archives]

20% more people move out of California than move into California.

Oh, you think they’ll drop below 35 million this century? Meaningless statistic

It doesn't sound like a very well planned attack. One person with a hammer? That doesn't sound like a well conceived politically motivated attack plan.

There's something else going on here that we don't know yet.

Neither was the Florida bomber

What we do know is that the guy is a dimwit either influenced by drugs, mental instability, greed, or inspired by hate speech, could even be the combination of any two or three

Security cameras help after the fact I guess but not so much from keeping people out. Between their time in D.C. and in Napa I don’t know how much time they actually spend at this house. Frightening to have someone break in though (on top of being attacked of course)

I hope he's okay. 82 yo ppl don't recover as quickly as younger ones.

It’s San Francisco where random attacks, with weapons, do occur (however those tend to be on the street, not in someone’s home). But if this was a planned political attack one person with a hammer just seems a weird way to go about doing it. Was the plan to kill him with a hammer? Or just do some physical damage but let him live? I’m sure we’ll find out here shortly. Seeing an old man attacked with a hammer is frightening in any form.

Per CNN he was looking for Mrs. Pelosi.

When she’s home there is security there at all times. This person would have almost no chance at getting in. This person clearly didn’t do his due diligence.

Anyone who would strike an elderly man with a hammer has more problems than doing his homework.

No question! On one hand San Francisco is one of the most amazing cities in the world. The reality though is we have a large number of drugged out/mentally ill people who live here. It’s a struggle where I try and teach my daughter to have compassion and empathy for those on the street vs the reality of mentally ill people will attack you for no reason and you better be aware.

I’m sure we’ll find out the full story here shortly but mentally ill people committing violent acts is not an uncommon occurrence in these parts.

The numbers of unstable individuals seems to have risen everywhere in the last few years, suppose it is a sign of the times, things move to fast, too much information, many can’t adapt. And, as I said, the city has always prided itself on “freedom,” what better place for a lost soul to relocate

I told you, move to New England, cash in your SF holdings and relocate to the Maine coast, lobster instead of crab, no big time college football, but haven’t seen a lot of that on the West Coast in quite awhile

I’m a golfer. I need to live in a climate where I can play year round. Can’t do that in New England. And I don’t have the kind of money where I can “winter in Florida” or some other warmer local.

Hello archives,

Agreed. The individual is not coming off very smart. Everything else is a guess.

Crime is about more than murder. Rich people aren’t getting killed in SF but they are getting robbed, their homes broken into, car windows smashed and stolen from etc. It has a huge effect on the quality of life and how people feel who live here. People regularly talk about being afraid to take their kids certain places and women fear going on walks alone etc. Again, it’s a big reason the DA was recalled. So murders in Mississippi are irrelevant

And is crime actually up or are they just feeling scared ?

It depends on which specific type of crime you are referencing (burglary, car theft, murder, home break in etc.). Some are up and some dropped from their peak during the pandemic.

And these crime occur all over the City. It’s not like ‘just avoid this one neighborhood and you’ll be fine’. People’s fears and being fed up aren’t unfounded.

The assailant is an obvious wacko. California has a lot of them . That being said I wish Paul Pelosi a swift and full recovery. And I hope the soon to be retired speaker to quit congress and come home to care for him.

Violent crime, is it up?

So does the Trumpper party.
