David DePape found guilty in federal trial over Paul Pelosi hammer attack

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/national/david-depape-found-guilty-in-federal-trial-over-paul-pelosi-hammer-attack/ar-AA1k30cQ?

"A federal jury has convicted the suspect accused of the violent hammer attack against Paul Pelosi at his and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home last year. The jury began deliberating Wednesday afternoon before reaching a verdict late Thursday morning, finding David DePape guilty on both federal counts."

This deluded person David DePape is now headed for about 30 in prison for attempted kidnapping and murder. His life is over. He foolishly believed deranged conspiracy theories which motivated him to attempt to kidnap and/or murder Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Her husband happened to be at home.

DePape has to accept responsibility for his actions. Yet I can't help feeling the purveyors of this conspiracy lunacy are also partly to blame. By posting these false conspiracy theories on their websites they are goading suggestable, mentally unstable people to acts of violence.

Be careful what you believe. Think rationally. Check the facts. Consider the consequences.

Yep. Online Radicalization. It's so common. And so easy to execute.

Daily Beast - DePape’s trial wrapped up shortly after he gave dizzying, tearful testimony about his motive for the assault, which he admitted carrying out. He explained that he went down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories after listening to right-wing podcasts on YouTube, and said that he truly believed Nancy Pelosi and others—like the actor Tom Hanks and California Gov. Gavin Newsom—were corrupt and caught up in pedophilia, and he wanted to save the country from it.

He's got more charges pending. He might never get out. Won't slow the dregs of society down though. They'll keep selling lies and believing them.
