Pelosi is half the guy's size and twice his age. Let's be real about to what extent he could resist him physically. He was likely trying to keep things calm while also still nervous about the dude holding a hammer who could (and did) explode at any second.
One thing is for sure, Paul definitely knew his attacker or he wouldn't act so casual about the situation.
But.. that's my point. In his situation he had to act casual. If he didn't play it cool he could've only made it even worse.
Why didi he have to act casual? If you were getting attacked by an intruder would you act casual when the cops show up? No. You would scream for help. He acted casual because he knew the guy. Your logic doesn't add up, but mine does.
Consider that he was woken up at 2 am by an armed intruder who he couldn't escape nor fight his way past. He played it calm, kept the temperature down, the dude wasn't attacking him. Police show up at the door, he calmly approaches it and opens it, puts a hand on the hammer now that he's no longer looking at it, greets the officers. The dude gets agitated as he starts to lose control, via Paul's hand on the hammer, and explodes the way he did.
Neither of us knows definitely what happens, but this is what Occam's razor spells out to me.
Don't get me wrong, and to the person who thinks me shilly, I only have disdain for a man who uses his wife's position to enrich himself. I just don't think this is the avenue of attack.
