Not really as bad as what happened to Paul Pelosi, and I seem to recall that was the subject of much ribaldry and innuendo.
Of course, he was guilty of being in possession of an offensive wife.

Paul Pelosi didn't get SWATted. He was the victim of a home invasion that went violent.
Horrible, yes.
Not at all the same.

No, what happened to Pelosi was much, much worse. But a number of people apparently thought it was funny. The same people that think it's terrible when MTG had the cops come round because some knobhead played a stupid practical joke.
What can I say?

Someone's going to jail.

Hope so.
I suspect investigative assets will be made available to the local police.

A federal judge sentenced David DePape to 30 years in prison on Friday, more than 18 months after he attacked then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer in the elderly couple’s San Francisco home.
The three-decade sentence was handed down by U.S. district judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, who ordered DePape to serve 20 years for an attempted kidnapping charge and 30 years for an assault charge. Both sentences will run simultaneously. DePape, who was convicted in November, has already served the first year and a half since he’s been in police custody.
During his federal trial last fall, DePape admitted to breaking into the Pelosi family’s home on October 28, 2022, and apologized for hitting Paul Pelosi with a hammer. He said he intended to kidnap Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and hold her hostage. But after discovering the House speaker was in Washington, D.C., on business, he planned on waiting for her to return before Paul Pelosi called the police.
Believed to have been motivated by conspiracy theories, DePape wanted to question the longtime California Democrat about her alleged involvement in stealing the 2020 election from former president Donald Trump. If she lied, he threatened to “break her kneecaps.” The defendant appears to have been affiliated with nudists and conspiracy theorists in the past.
