I don't think so. It's wicked to attack senior citizens, political opponents, and anyone else with the intent to kill or maim. The perp has a history of mental illness, but I really don't know much else about his past history, just that he was confused and mistaken. My prayers go out to the Pelosi family. Hitting an elderly man or woman on the face with a hammer is an attempt to kill in my book. After they defunded the police in several places in California, I think they better rewrite their introduction of policies that simply do not work. This nation was better off when the criminals were afraid, not the public at large. Amnesty does not work well with murderers and rapists. This creepy bro was going to hammer out Nancy Pelosi's knees. What does it take to get the police refunded across the nation? I'm praying for Paul Pelosi, because he was a secondary target, and he didn't deserve to have someone attempt murder against him. It was an unjust thing for even a mental patient to do.
