The internet is making it easy for deranged people to find one another, and convince each other that they're right. That's the difference.
Back before the internet you'd have these pockets of crazy, but they couldn't all link up and multiply and attract people who were crazy but not in quite that same way.
The internet is a force - some very good (great to be able to hook up with other families going through cancer, or find just the vintage tonka truck you're looking for!) and some evil.
In high school, Alex Jones had zero friends. None. No one would listen to his crazy. But you get the internet, and wham, he's able to connect with a LOT of people who are willing to listen to him spout nonsense insanity.
And that's what happened with this man. He's a nut, and he found his besties through the power of the internet.
And now Paul Pelosi has hammer marks on his skull.
You do realize that Pandora's Box, so to speak, has been opened, right? We can't very well shut down the internet. Nor can we censor everything.
Even if we shut sites down, people like this could just meet up on the Dark Web.
The common denominator is mental illness. What's changed is uber liberal policies that have shut down mental hospitals. We are forced to deal with ill people walking among us. None of us are truly safe anymore.
Did you notice that homeless DePape was allowed to live part time in a bus parked beside a home in a residential neighborhood? In CA no less. Where strict zoning laws abound? (that wouldn't fly in my small town) Laws are ignored in CA to protect people like this. THAT is a bigger problem.
I'm not disagreeing. He's always been crazy, used to agree with her far left stance, but in the last couple years got very sucked into the ultra far right wing conspiracy crowd.
That she doesn't know what he really was thinking, and posting for years, isn't a big surprise. She doesn't seem like the brightest bulb. Or, necessarily interested in what anyone else is doing and thinking.
And now this.
His views remain a mix of both far left and far right. He is just plain crazy.
Most of the 3-5 bedroom houses in my town have the primary bedroom on the first floor.
It's hard to sell a house with all bedrooms up. Families with small children are the only buyers. We have 3400 square feet with the primary down. I never go upstairs except to dust. Dh has his work space and pool table in the game room so he goes up.
But the long skinny lot makes for odd configurations. Perhaps he heard the glass breaking and came down stairs. But his phone was charging in the bathroom on the main floor.
Oh I know. My house is in The Woodlands, but I spend most of my time at my GF's place, in the Bear Creek/Langham Creek/Copperfield area (even closer to you).
My point was specific to the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and stories of the Pelosi's house.
I'd think that you would agree that the norm (north of I-10) for number of stories 'outside of' FM 1960, and probably even 'outside of' BW8/Sam Houston Tollway, is one or two.
The Pelosi's house is 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, three story, and under 100 sq ft smaller than your house.
With only 4 bedrooms, and about 1100 sq ft per floor, I think the most likely configurations re bedrooms in the Pelosi's case would be either 2 on floor 3, 2 on floor 2 and zero on the main floor, or 1 on one of those two upper floors and three on the other.....but still zero on the main floor.
I've seen 1br. 1ba, plus LR, DR, and Kitchen condos in San Francisco that were 1100 sq ft on one floor, but they had no yard and were intended for one person (not really enough storage for two).
Is it possible that was a private person's scanner feed?
Surprisingly, San Francisco PD uses encryption for their police radios so the public can no longer listen when police are responding to the homeless raiding a CVS.

She’s an MIT grad so your viewpoint that she wasn’t smart is pretty off base. She was nutty, but she wasn’t stupid.
Fighting crime/harsher treatment of criminals is absolutely a Republican ideal.
The left approach is more rehabilitative, and eliminating the cause of crimes through a variety of approaches.
I'm not "admitting" anything. That's reality.
The left’s approach to crime as of late is letting criminals go by lowering penalties and looking the other way and tying the hands of police. What rehabilitative care are they providing? What are they doing to eliminate the cause of crime? Are they securing the border to minimize the flow of fentanyl and other drugs? Nope.
David was sleeping in a bus parked on a public street, something unlikely to be legal but was allowed. According to neighbors, a lot of drug use in that household.
