Mr Pelosi was attacked with a hammer..

Oh…so MAYBE it wasn’t a random follow the old guy home attack.

It takes a lot to make me angry but I heard earlier on MSNBC that it was entirely possible that this was just “random”. First of all why speculate and why would anyone posit that this was random anymore than if a rifle round whizzed past the ear of the President you would postulate that it was random. Best to report FACTS…remember them?…and allow the story to emerge.

If it were a RW ideologue attacked, Antifa would be named immediately as a “suspect”. Liberal Media my patootie.

1. "First of all why speculate "

For the same reason people here are speculating.

It could be a right winger; it could be someone mentally ill. I'll wait for details.

2. Well, it's entirely possible that any given person wins the lottery

assuming they bought a ticket, of course.

So in THAT sense, I suppose it's 'possible' it was random.

But I know what you mean. The M$M fvcking sucks.

And if I was gonna lay down money, it wouldn't be on the 'random' hypothesis unless you're giving me at minimum
200-1 odds.

7. more likely it was someone looking for his wife.

What I want to know is how did he get in there? that sucks.

3. I just hope he's okay. It will give much reason for discussion as to how we protect the person 3rd

in line for the Presidency regardless of what emerges as to motive. That includes her home and those who live there whether she is present or not.

So, yes, I'll wait on the full facts, but even what is known at present suggests a need for further steps to be taken/considered to secure the Speaker in the future.

5. I saw an update that Paul Pelosi is expected to recover, so that's good news

There were quotes in the story from President Biden and Senator Schumer, but curiously from what I've seen, no Republicans have seen fit to comment on this attack. They're usually first to the microphones to complain about big city crime.

4. I know where they live in San Francisco this was not random attwck

A lot of rich homes in that area why that particular one?

Someone trying to send a message to Speaker Pelosi?

6. Frank Figliucci speculated that it might be random

Possible…but unlikely given the individual.
