Randolph, I think this is a case exactly as it has been presented. A crazy, mixed up mental patient became obsessed with Nancy Pelosi, went to her home, cased the joint, then knocked on the door and demanded to see Pelosi so he could hammer her knees and turn her into a wheelchair patient. Since she wasn't there, he took out his rage on her elderly husband, abusing him severely with a hammer he intended to use on Nancy Pelosi. It makes me sick to my stomach when I hear of people attacking national leaders, right or wrong. This man needs to be collared and hobbled so he doesn't take advantage of anyone else whether jailers, other convicts, or people present visiting prisoners in their family. His chances of getting well enough to go out into society ever again are nonexistent. It's too bad he didn't tip off someone caring for his mental problems that he was going to try to maim a famous person. I am praying for Paul Pelosi, because his injuries can be life threatening or put a senior into a nursing home prematurely. It's just not right to do anything but go on the evidence and admissions of the perpetrator as to his true intentions.
