    Yes, could be. I am not a break-in expert.

    Thanks - learned something today, I guess, even though I didn't really understand that page and it contained vulgar words.

    Yeah, there's no real way to find information about 4chan without seeing something vulgar. It's not a great place!

    I'd like to see a clearer shot. glass looks pulled out (or pushed out?)

    maybe safety glass that doesn't fully shatter, so he had to pull it out to get the door open?

    the foot prints, or lack thereof, are also interesting. I see two, but you'd think there'd be more if the door that's broken is the one he used to get in.

    Man I wish the Rockets fought for a rebound the way you are fighting this so hard.

    The affidavid, and his own interview with the police states a pretty clear plan. Again... READ.....

    It's not Oceans 14 or anything, but that.... is A PLAN.

    Also his own interview is describing that it was difficult to break through the door so he used a hammer. Explains why if it was a struggle that there would be some jerking motions back and forth that glass wouldn't just shatter in a forward motion.

    Another mystery of the worlds greatest wonders solved!! Maybe you should run an experiment tonight at your house. Great your glass door and see if the glass only falls in a forward direction even after opening the door after breaking.

    ....

    Lord... I'd hate to get an a debate with you about the Moon Landing or something. I can imagine you using Buzz Adrin's shoe size as a way of "Just Asking Questions" about whether or not it was actually staged by Stanley Kubrick. Which that theory actually makes more sense then this one you just won't give up on.

    A friend of mine was in the control room when the moon landing happened (relative of the mastermind behind it). Let me know if you want to learn more.

    The right-wing ecosystem that created the Paul Pelosi conspiracy theory

    Written by Matt Gertz

    Published 10/31/22 12:47 PM EDT

    It took roughly 48 hours for the right-wing media ecosystem to turn a story about a man who committed political violence after becoming consumed by right-wing conspiracy theories about the depravity of the left into another right-wing conspiracy theory about the depravity of the left.

    On Friday morning, a man broke into the San Francisco home of Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He was reportedly carrying zip ties and duct tape and, according to law enforcement, was looking for the woman who is second in line to the presidency. She was not present, but the man did find and severely beat her 82-year-old husband, Paul, with a hammer, sending him to the hospital for emergency surgery.

    The assailant, who was arrested and identified by police as David DePape, had an extensive Internet footprint that suggests a standard case of online right-wing radicalization. DePape’s writings show his adherence to a wide range of conspiracy theories that are often propped up or adopted in their entirety by prominent right-wing media figures and Republican officials. President Joe Biden on Friday night condemned the impact the Republican Party’s “vitriol” has on those who may be mentally unbalanced.

    But in the days since the attack, people who get their news from right-wing sources have instead been told an absurd and baseless conspiracy theory. In this telling, there was no home invasion; instead DePape is actually Paul Pelosi’s leftist gay lover, and the police, Democrats, and the press are covering up that the assault was really a lovers’ spat. The tale was quickly adopted by influential right-wing figures – including Twitter owner Elon Musk – and, if past is prologue, will be accepted by a sizable percentage of the GOP base.

    The Pelosi conspiracy theory took hold so quickly thanks to the parallel media ecosystem the right constructed over decades. That ecosystem features numerous outlets that generate conspiracy theories for partisan and financial gain; food-chain mechanisms that swiftly distribute them to millions of people; an existing right-wing audience trained to demand such fantasies; minimal internal guardrails within the right-wing press to provide more credible information; and strong external barriers against contrary information from mainstream news sources.

    the play is to create baseless conspiracy theories, and then just ignore all the info that comes out that debunks it

    wouldn’t be surprised if 80% of the GOP thinks Pelosi got beatdown by his gay lover…that they think that there were 2 hammers…that they were both in their underwear

    Musk tweeted his nonsense, it gets 600k+ retweets, then he quietly deletes it without stating a retraction…the damage was already done…same with that “reporter” who claimed Depape was in his underwear, then later retracted it on the low low…the mindless drones don’t know he walked back that statement, nor will he believe that he did once told

    The hammer attack is proof that California gun control laws reduce gun related deaths.

    Kinda scary to see conservatives so skeptical that a right winged lunatic finally acted violently towards a politican that the right painted as a demon for years.

    Like imagine if someone actually died from this, they probably would b thinking Pelosi faked her death b4 the midterm to increase voter turnout. Lack of empathy is quite sad to see.


    Two g2y men having a lovers spat is more plausible for them than a right winged lunatic trying to harm one of the most vilified liberal politician by conservatives

    If he was a felon, why wasnt the unhinged illegal alien deported?

    Is california different in that they dont release 911 calls, mug shots, and body cams? I get delaying the body cam but the other two items usually come pretty quick.

    Perhaps because they are going to let the Pelosi family see/hear before it is publicly released?

    You continue deflecting. Mental illness stoked to action by conspiracy theories pushed by the GOP propaganda machine and promulgated by idiots who fall for it; and sadly, even by those who don't.

    I hope they don't release the footage from the security cameras. Especially the ones inside. You want to give more right wing lunatics the layout, etc. of the Pelosi house?
