The attacker may have went there initially looking for Nancy, but attacked the husband instead because she was not there. He likely reasoned that it would not be a wasted trip if he can hurt her family and scare her. The net effect is an act of terror and I hope he gets charged that way in court.
I am no fan of Nancy Pelosi (she has tried to ban classic cars in the past). However I cannot support someone physically attacking her or her family just due to a difference in point of political view. I would not support this if it happened to Trump either, who I dislike as well. Wrong is wrong. This is not what The United States of America is about, it goes against our core concepts to act in that manner.
Pelosi's been a resident of San Francisco for decades. In that time, it's going to become common knowledge where she lives.
As for mental capacity, the attacker is mentally ill not mentally disabled, and so shouldn't be underestimated. Though I am open to the possibility that others might have been involved in plotting to have Pelosi murdered.
