I would, too. Hate Speech is vile as a Judge recently made very clear to Musk.

One of the group's findings, published in June, detailed how "racist, homophobic, neo-Nazi, antisemitic or conspiracy content" from paid users went unmoderated on the site.

Yes, giving them a pass only makes them bolder and more abusive.

Oh, absolutely, Pelosi should file suit against evil nuts like Elon Musk. I doubt he will, though, because those folks tend to like and respect other wealthy people. I would, though.

I can't conceive of Paul Pelosi ever being friends with Elon Musk, especially not after his comments.

I hope not, but Washington DC is one of those places where there are “no permanent friends, no permanent enemies”

I was saddened to read in one of the articles that Paul is still suffering lingering physical after-effects of the attacks beyond nightmares. Such a senseless attack.

I imagine there are residual effects of the attack he will have forever, sad to say.

Paul also said he walks slowly, has difficulty with balance, gets terrible headaches and for a long time had trouble sleeping alone at home because he because “kept remembering the defendant breaking into my house.” Paul Pelosi attacker David DePape sentenced to 30 years in prison

“My head injuries continue to affect my life. My hair grew back — but I have bumps on my head from the hammer blows and a metal plate from skull surgery. The dizziness has not gone away,” Pelosi wrote to Corley. “It has taken many months to reclaim my home and well-being. Even so, we do not answer our landline phone or our front door due to ongoing threats.”Man who attacked Pelosi’s husband with a hammer sentenced to 30 years

Why are they receiving ongoing threats? They're victims. Some people are really mentally ill.

Hopefully, with the state charges he gets a Life Sentence, and that conviction can't be pardoned.

"Even so, we do not answer our landline phone or our front door due to ongoing threats." How sickening.

 

[LinasK]

There was another article that I probably can't find now that said that although DePape wasn't convicted of terrorism, that he fit the definition of domestic terrorism because he sought to overthrow the government by coercion.

Yes. And IMO the sentences for the assailant should have been run consecutively, not concurrently. MOO

I will never understand the concept of a concurrent sentence--why bother since it does not extend

Well since the longer one is 30 years, he's going to do time beyond the 20 years, plus the state trial starts next week. So hopefully he never gets out.
