Yup, he confessed to the crime and likened himself to the “founding fathers.” 1776 and all that stuff.
DEPAPE explained that he did not leave after
Pelosi’s call to 9-1-1 because, much like the American founding fathers with the
British, he was fighting against tyranny without the option of surrender. DEPAPE
reiterated this sentiment elsewhere in the interview.
Everywhere else they are referred to as “zip ties”, so I think that’s a mistake. Note: “zip ties”. Not “zip cuffs” or “cuff ties” as some people here are embellishing.
I do hope Mr. DePape enjoys a long stretch as a guest of the US Bureau of Prisons. Perhaps someone can break his kneecaps for him. What a rancid, sick piece of shit. Just like a typical MAGAt.
He’s blaming Paul for making him (David DePape) hit him with the hammer.
From page 6 of the criminal complaint –
f. DEPAPE stated that he pulled the hammer away from Pelosi and swung the
hammer towards Pelosi. DEPAPE explained that Pelosi’s actions resulted in
Pelosi “taking the punishment instead.”
No I wanted them to grab the hammer, and pull it away, they just commanded the men to release it, one complied the other didn’t, but cops were not going to risk getting close .
He’s 42. Even if he only gets 10 years ( which I think is a considerable underestimate ) he’ll be 52, a multi felon convict and probably bound to California for years of probation. He’ll be poor, probably indigent and miserable for the rest of his life. He’ll have years to think about it too.
Speaking as a lay person, his thinking seems not the soundest. I think whatever happens, he’s going to do a long stretch in some institution with locks between him and the outside he doesn’t have the keys to.
