More On the Pelosi Incident

People are still talking about the curious case of the alleged attack on Paul Pelosi. Why? Because, yet again, the story has morphed. Is there something here that’s being overlooked by everyone? Are there curious facts that together may hint at facts not yet disclosed?

Excerpts from news articles are presented below, followed  by commentary. Highlights were added to emphasize specific “facts.”

First, from this story:

According to [Assistant District Attorney Allison Garbutt] Macbeth, DePape smashed his body through a window to break into the Pelosis’ Pacific Heights home, while carrying a hammer and several plastic zip ties. After breaking in, he allegedly confronted Paul Pelosi at his bedside at around 2 a.m. …

DePape then allegedly threatened to tie him up—the first of about 10 such threats, the court filing says. …

Eventually, Paul Pelosi called 911. …

Two police officers arrived and, seeing both men with their hands on the handle of the hammer …

In DePape’s backpack, police allegedly found another hammer, a laptop, and bags of zip ties.

From this article:

Hulking DePape, 42, wore a prison issue orange sweatshirt and sweat pants for the brief hearing and had his right arm strapped up in a sling – said to be the result of last Friday’s early morning struggle with Pelosi. …

According to the criminal complaint, the day after the attack, authorities traced DePape to a home on Shasta Road in Richmond, California, around 18 miles north of San Francisco. …

Investigators said that inside of the home, they found additional hammers, a sword, and pairs of gloves. …

On Friday, DePape walked into a bedroom of the $6million San Francisco home just before 3am on Friday, woke Paul Pelosi up …

DePape also explained that he broke into the house through a glass door using the hammer. …

DePape was also found to have run the website frenlyfrens.com …

DePape would also share some photos from a construction site he worked at …

From this article:

After the hearing, DePape’s public defender Adam Lipson said … his 42-year-old client’s shoulder was dislocated during the arrest. …

The court filing said DePape smashed his shoulder through a glass window early Friday in the back of the Pelosis’ Pacific Heights home and confronted a sleeping Paul Pelosi, clad only in boxer shorts and a pajama top. …

Paul Pelosi was eventually able to call 911 …

Pelosi then told the dispatcher that he did not need police, fire or medical assistance but he instead asked “for the Capitol Police because they are usually at the house protecting his wife.

Did Paul Pelosi ask for the Capitol Police because he knew from sad experience that a report by local police would become known, whereas the Capitol Police are under the control of his wife and are exempt from FOIA?

Did DePape’s shoulder/arm get injured when (1) he “smashed his body through a window;” (2) during the “struggle with Pelosi;” or (3) when the police “dislocated” his arm “during the arrest?”

Did DePape break the windows to get into the house by (1) “using the hammer” or (2) by smashing “his shoulder through a glass window?”

Did DePape wake Pelosi up (1)”around 2 a.m.” or (2) “just before 3 a.m.?”

Among the items DePape reportedly had on the scene were a backpack (left on the back porch near the broken windows), zip ties, tape, rope, gloves, and one or more hammers. Other hammers and Home-Depot-like items were confiscated from his home, where he lived with (or in the garage of) another 80-something-year-old San Francisco celebrity. Allegedly, on social media, DePape had posted at least one photo from “a construction site he worked at.”

The felony complaint is embedded in this article. Two odd details stand out.

“… and trailer coach?”

What trailer coach? From this site, two legal definitions:

Trailer coach means a travel trailer, truck camper, fifth wheel, motor home (recreational vehicle), or similar vehicle designed for temporary accommodation.

Alternately:

Trailer coach means a vehicle designed for human habitation or human occupancy for recreational, industrial, professional or commercial purposes, for carrying property on its own structure or for being drawn by a motor vehicle and includes a camper, camp trailer, house car, mobile home whose tongue and axle have not been removed, park trailer, recreational vehicle, trailer, trailer coach and travel trailer as these terms are defined in the Health and Safety Code and the Vehicle Code.

Interestingly enough, most news stories show the broken back door but crop the scene, omitting the tarps, ladders, containers, and other construction equipment, all of which indicate that some sort of construction, landscaping, and/or repair work was going on at the back of the home. Why is that?

Some videos, including this one, show the full scene. Oddly enough, several items near the tarp resemble backpacks or another type of fabric bag (it’s hard to tell), maybe rolling suitcases? What are those? (See below.) What do they contain? Tools? From the video, these still shots:

Where is the trailer coach referred to in the felony complaint? Is it in the garage or some storage area not visible on the video? If there is none, then why is a trailer coach referenced in the complaint?

Is it possible that DePape was employed temporarily to work at the Pelosi residence? Was he staying in a trailer coach? It’s known he was at times homeless. It’s reported that he worked construction (at least once). He had a backpack with all sorts of items a person might need while doing odd jobs here and there. If DePape wasn’t working at the Pelosi home, then who was? Obviously, someone was, going by the ladders, bags of what looks like garden debris, pails and other items. Did DePape work there? Was he dismissed at some point?

Another detail from the felony complaint:

Legal definition of a “particularly vulnerable” person from this site:

“Vulnerable victim” as a person (A) who is a victim of the offense of conviction; and (B) who is unusually vulnerable due to age, physical or mental condition, or who is otherwise particularly susceptible to the criminal conduct. The term “susceptible to the criminal conduct” has been interpreted as being primarily concerned with the impaired capacity of the victim to detect or prevent the crime, rather than the quantity of the harm suffered by the victim. United States v. Bailey, 405 F.3d 102 (1st Cir. Mass. 2005)

Would DePape have known Paul Pelosi well enough to be able to determine that he was a “particularly vulnerable” person? (Apparently it’s an element of the charge that the person knows or should have known the victim was particularly vulnerable, but it would take a lawyer to explain the nuances.)

If someone who was only vaguely a “friend,” if that, should have known Pelosi’s vulnerability, shouldn’t his wife and other family members have known this, too? In which case, wouldn’t they be quite remiss to leave him alone, as we’re to believe that he was, in that big house in the middle of a dangerous city, with no blaring burglar alarm in case of a break-in?

Finally, there’s yet another new version of events, which was suddenly pulled from the Internet upon its many discrepancies being noted.

In the disappeared video, the reporter states that DePape was in the home with Paul Pelosi for 30 minutes. If police were dispatched, as stories have stated, about 2:27 a.m., then it fits that DePape woke up Paul Pelosi “around 2 a.m.” (from the first linked article), if he spent 30 minutes there before the police arrived. Obviously, he couldn’t have woke Pelosi up “just before 3 a.m.” if the police were dispatched at 2:27 a.m.

Yet 30 minutes within the home doesn’t comport with what’s been reported before, particularly by a witness who allegedly heard the break-in and then police sirens within a “minute or two,” which is probably why the story was pulled.

It seems likely that if DePape threatened Pelosi at least 10 times, he was probably there for more than just a few minutes. Why, then, would glass be audibly broken only moments before the police arrived? Was it broken as part of a coverup? From the story:

Police report DePape had two hammers, zip ties and tape. …

NBC reporter Miguel Almaguer reported on the Today Show that accused attacker David DePape and Paul Pelosi were alone in the Pelosi home for thirty minutes, that Paul Pelosi answered the door and did not tell police he needed help and try to leave the house but instead walked away and back to DePape while DePape told police who asked “what’s going on?”, “Everything is good.”…

[L]aw enforcement searched DEPAPE’s backpack at the Pelosi residence, and they found, among other things, a roll of tape, white rope, one hammer, one pair of rubber and cloth gloves …

About the frenlyfrens website that DePape allegedly created. The Gateway Pundit has been debunking that allegation for some time. You can verify for yourself that the website seems to have been created after DePape was already in custody and deleted the next day. Using Tineye, you will discover that the photos first appeared on the Internet on October 28 and seem to have existed nowhere else on the Internet before they appeared on the frenlyfrens site on October 28, the day of the incident.

Curiouser and curiouser.
