Paul Pelosi’s Attacker Gets a Lot Weirder, and the Picture Gets a Little Clearer – RedState

On Saturday morning, I penned a piece noting how tiny sense the assault on Paul Pelosi produced. Specially, the attacker, David DePape, had a profile that seemed to be all over the put. One particular 2nd, we had been discovering out he was a nudist protester who lived in a leftwing commune decked out in BLM signals and gay pleasure flags. The future next the authorities have been telling us that he was a January 6th supporter who disparaged Jews.

So what’s the real story? Properly, if a new report from The Washington Post is correct, we may well lastly have an respond to, and most likely predictably, it’s in all probability not going to affirm anyone’s priors.

The San Francisco Bay place man arrested in the attack on Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband loaded a weblog a 7 days ahead of the incident with delusional feelings, such as that an invisible fairy attacked an acquaintance and in some cases appeared to him in the variety of a chook, according to on-line writings under his title.

That one paragraph very considerably tells us all we need to have to know. Far from remaining some arranged, sinister Republican operative, radicalized by GOP assumed, it appears DePape is what he generally appeared to be: An crazy individual with no prolonged-standing, coherent political ideology. His change from leftwing to rightwing conspiracy theories was most likely a consequence of his already broken psychological condition.

I know that won’t make Hillary Clinton, Adam Kinzinger, and the other leftists who rushed to blame Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy for the attack pleased, but sometimes the real truth is more boring than fanciful tales of mainstream partisan influence. Much more normally than not, crazy men and women are just ridiculous, latching onto whichever is in front of them, and I now truly feel confident in indicating that’s what took place in this case. In truth, DePape has by no means outlined Nancy Pelosi in any of his noted rantings.

Further detailing the situation is the point that the attacker was also a drug addict, and the “treatment” he was obtaining almost unquestionably performed a main part in his psychotic break.

“The camper van parked in the driveway of the home belonging to David DePape’s ex-wife. The “Natural dependancy treatment” that it’s advertising and marketing is of the psychedelic ibogaine, which neighbors say the DePape family members has been bringing back to the United States from Mexico.”

Ibogaine is a harmful psychoactive material that can result in coronary heart troubles and death. It is been utilized in the earlier to handle addictions but has been shunned by mainstream medicine for the reason that it just cannot be used safely. That’s absolutely accurate when it is currently being dispersed by some new-age nudist commune.

Naturally, other inquiries remain about the attack alone. These may perhaps or could not be answered in thanks time, and supplied how speedily Paul Pelosi’s DUI was covered up, I’d lean in direction of answers not currently being forthcoming. Regardless, individuals hoping to use DePape to smear mainline Republican politicians are disgusting. They really do not care about political violence, of which there is even now no proof that was a issue here. They just treatment about smearing their opponents. None of us are obligated to engage in their sport. Let them scream at the clouds.
