Crime Accused Pelosi hammer attacker David DePape tearfully testifies of bizarre plot - GAMERGATE

A man accused of a hammer attack on ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband has testified how he hatched a plan to end US corruption after becoming absorbed in conspiracy theories.

David DePape, 43, has pleaded not guilty to two charges including attempted kidnap of a federal official.

He cried as he testified how he hatched a bizarre plot that included wearing a unicorn costume while interrogating Ms Pelosi and posting the video online.

If convicted, he faces life in prison.

Closing arguments in the trial are expected on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, in sometimes tearful testimony, Mr DePape told the court he used to have left-wing political beliefs before a political transformation that started when he was living in a garage without a toilet or shower, playing video games for hours at a time.

Giving evidence for more than an hour, he said that in the course of looking up information about video games he became interested in Gamergate, an anti-feminist campaign that targeted prominent women in the gaming world and became a huge online trend starting in 2014.

He began listening to right-wing podcasters and watching political YouTube videos.

"At that time, I was biased against Trump," Mr DePape said, "but there's, like, truth there. So if there's truth out there that I don't know, I want to know it."

He said he formulated a "grand plan" that involved luring "targets" to the Pelosi home.

Inflatable unicorn costume​

The names on his list included University of Michigan academic Gayle Rubin, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Tom Hanks, congressman Adam Schiff, former Vice-President Mike Pence, former Attorney General Bill Barr, Senator Bernie Sanders and liberal mega-donor George Soros.

Ultimately, Mr DePape said, he wanted to confront President Joe Biden's son Hunter, and after he got his targets to admit to corruption, he planned to ask the president to pardon everyone he considered a "criminal".

"It's just easier giving them a pardon so we can move forward as a country," he said, crying on the stand.

Mr DePape said he went to the Pelosi home in the early hours of 28 October last year, hoping to talk to Mrs Pelosi about what he thought were false theories of Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.

He said he planned to wear an inflatable unicorn costume and upload his interrogation of her online. He was arrested with zip ties and duct tape in his possession.

When asked why he hit Mr Pelosi, he responded: "I reacted because my plan was basically ruined."

"He was never my target and I'm sorry that he got hurt," he said.

Mr Pelosi, 83, testified on Monday of his alarm upon waking up to find Mr DePape "standing in the doorway".

Mr Pelosi spent six days in hospital with a fractured skull and injuries to his arm and hand.

Defence lawyers are not denying that Mr DePape struck Mr Pelosi, but they are arguing he was motivated by his belief in conspiracy theories rather than Mrs Pelosi's status as Speaker of the House.

Because the charges involve assault on a federal official, prosecutors must prove that Mr DePape's actions were motivated by Mrs Pelosi's elected position.

If this guy doesn't glow, it must be coming from his lawyer.

Did they base this one on the Joker movie?

 

[Idiotus Maximus]

if you think this is an op you're just as retarded as hammer dude. he's your run of the mill homeless schizo with delusions of grandeur and paranoia doing dumb shit.

The cherry on top that nobody seems to have mentioned in the thread thus far is that DePape frequently consumes vast amounts of ibogaine. Does anyone here know much about ibogaine? It's mental illness in powder form. According to his neighbours he was bang on the stuff 24/7, and also possibly dealing it.

According to one of his neighbours - "What I know about the family is that they’re very radical activists. They seem very left. They are all about the Black Lives Matter movement. Gay pride. But they’re very detached from reality. They have called the cops on several of the neighbors, including us, claiming that we are plotting against them. It’s really weird to see that they are willing to be so aggressive toward somebody else who is also a lefty."

It's also worth noting that, according to his 53 year old Russian ex lover Oxane “Gypsy” Taub, he was obsessed with videogames, for at least part of the time they were together.

How do you live in a garage with no toilet or shower, but still have access to good internet, a tv and electricity?

 

[Ted Kaczynski]

this reeks of CIAniggering, lmao. Guy is obviously a schizo but it seems like they coached him to bring up all the big “right wing” points so that they can bring the hammer down (lol) on anyone they perceive as dissidents

 

[thediad]

GamerGate, which kicked off in 2014 and had lost relevance by the time Trump was elected in 2016 (not that they didn't try to blame it for his being elected) radicalized this young man to attack Nancy Pelosi over Russia claims... in 2022.

Ok.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

You know the inmates are gonna fuck him. They love crying men

 

[Sheogorath]

Lmfao. You retards keep telling unstable schizos that The Government Is Out To Get Them, and then act incredulous when these unstable schizos do violent, unhinged shit against government officials. It is completely believable that a retarded man spiraled down a right-wing conspiracy rabbit hole because "these feminist whores are ruining videogames!" Isn't that why most of you are here?

i'm here because aediot has a massive goatse and has to stuff paper napkins up his ass which would fall out uncontrollably and he'd just leave shit covered napkins on the floor

 

[Tour of Italy]

If the only person to come to direct physical harm as a result of Gamergate in the near decade since it happened is the husband of one of the most evil people on the planet then that's a pretty good track record.

 

[Maldavius Figtree]

They're not even trying to make these thing believable anymore.

I will continue quoting Dalrymple:

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”​

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Everything about the story makes sense except one thing why was the senators husband in his underwear and why the unicorn costume

Maybe his plan was to seduce and then murder him?

 

[Maldavius Figtree]

Right wingers are all smart and handsome and successful and never commit retarded acts of terrorism so the only possible explanation is that this is a left-wing communist glow-op by the CIA.

I think the more likely explanation is that whenever a schizophrenic lunatic does schizophrenic lunatic things, everybody rightfully regards them as schizophrenic lunatics, but as soon as they utter something that could be construed in a right-wing way, they're performatively treated as a legitimate political actor.

Gone but not forgotten.

They just confirmed all involved are lefties. The thing about cults is, they are okay with making sacrificies to protect the covenent as a whole. What do you think they mean when they say, "by any means neccessary"?

 

[mindlessobserver]

We are so close to the bright future lads. Just a few more years and we will be looking back on the founding fathers of GamerGate like God's.

 

[Male Idiot]

So a leftie went skizo on drugs, and then glowies fed him a gamorgate story.

Was it a Berniebro, who imagined that if Bernie Won, than Israel and Palestine would make out in a giant kosher-halal gay orgy and Zelensky be in Myskva right now?

 

[Semen_Recycler]

Retard (and known drug addict) does retard shit.

Big brains: Obviously the FBI is behind this entire thing and spent years planning it.

I’m not saying false flags and coverups never happen, but come on. There’s nothing unbelievable about this.

In short this schizo is definitely lying about his planning and goobergrap specificallly to screw over CHUDs.
Someone should quiz him about hitler while claiming it's a quiz on riight-wing ideaology.

Ok.

Gamergate was already dead in the water by the time 2016 started it's incredible we are still talking about it so many years later. They just won't let it die despite it being irrelevant for nearly a decade

Before she was sent up for attempting to seduce an adolescent boy, Gypsy Taub ran an unlicensed ibogaine clinic in Mexico to help street kids get off narcotics.

She recounts this, along with other bizarre yarns, in her online bio.

I don’t think anyone is really treating this guy as a legitimate political actor. There was a long bit on CNN about this a couple of nights ago, and even from them the whole theme of it was “guy is a nut job, got steered into insane right wing conspiracy theories after being too redpilled by gamergate, and went completely off the deep end.”

This is entirely believable, you see people here shitposting about Nancy Pelosi all the time, and guaranteed there’s some gullible freak reading, taking it all a bit too seriously. It’s only by luck he didn’t pick it all up on KF, honestly.

How do you live in a garage with no toilet or shower, but still have access to good internet, a tv and electricity?

How is this not believable? Garages have a power outlet, and do not have plumbing. You can plug a TV and gaming computer into the outlet. You get wifi from the house, you use the bathroom in the house. Or from the gym down the street if your garage agreement doesn’t even cover that.
