    Finally a sentence that makes some sense.

    But, honestly, based on what DePape told police–that he was on “a suicide mission” and wanted to take Nancy Pelosi hostage, question her, and break her kneecaps if she lied–unless psychiatrists clear him in 30 yrs… he should remain in prison. There is no way society is safe with someone like that free.

      I mean, just looking at him he’s in his 40s? Doesn’t federal time have very little time reduction for good behavior, so he’ll be close to 70? He may just die behind bars lol.

      He was quite literally going after one of the parasites that has been personally draining taxpayers for decades. Guy should be lauded as a hero instead of convicted.

      Chances are he’s only ahead of the curve though. With the absolute state our societies are in today I’m surprised there aren’t any more political assassinations by people with nothing left to lose. But as this pool of people grows, so will backlash to the upper crust of society.

          I’m 100% serious in this opinion. Controversial, sure. Retarded? Your prerogative. But it is not bait.

          All I’m saying is that the majority of people who’re now going “Violence?? Against the people who exploited us all our lives? Isn’t that a bit much?” will be going “Higher with that stake, HIGHER” a decade later. At least, the ones that are still alive at that point.

            I have to admit, my gut response was to disagree with you… but the class war is brewing and I have little faith that the parasites are going to willingly change for the better before it’s too late.

              “Best” case scenario, Pelosi is gone and someone takes her place. Killing politicians does little other than destabilize politics with the subsequent chest pounding and paranoia. Donors decide on policies, not politicians. By and large, there’s no point in killing politicians.
