Oooo when I click on the pic it’s much clearer and imo those doors have several inches (imo the height of the jamb)clearance above the ground/bricks?
Seems pretty straight forward. Guy breaks window with hammer, busts out more glass to make hole larger, reaches in and unlocks the door and it opens outward, pushing some of the glass around. What doesn't make sense?
Tempered glass creates a web of glass nuggets. He would have had to have wailed on that door a couple of times to smash it. Based upon all of the reporting I would not be surprised if he was on some type of drug. He would get the hammer in and then drag glass out with the hammer which is why there is glass outside of the door and inside of the door. Did he enter through the door and then shut it behind him? I guess that is the working theory at this time IDK. I am interested in learning more.
If the homeowner didn't specify the direction of swing, and if there's no security consultant reviewing the blueprints, the builder is most likely not going to care. Also, if the homeowner does specify outward French doors, and there is no consultant to second-guess the homeowner (consultants cost money), the builder is going to do as told, they do not want to tell off a customer with lots of dough (and possibly an attytood
) that can "find someone else who can do what you can't".How did the chief get this detail wrong? If the police were not let into the house, how did they gain entry?
Zip ties found at the scene of Pelosi home invasion, police say
State charges in the criminal investigation of suspect David DePape could come as early as Monday or Tuesday, according to a federal law enforcement source.www.nbcnews.com
The only people who were at the home during the violent break-in early Friday were Paul Pelosi, 82, and David DePape, the 42-year-old suspect who faces charges that include attempted murder, the San Francisco PD, clarifying remarks made by it's chief Bill Scott in a press conference Friday.
There’s some description of the police entering and what happened as they confronted the scene.
Here’s the press conference -only watched the beginning where he says “someone inside opened the door” no mention of a third person so idk *shrug*

At our stay last summer in Orlando in a gated resort community (newer and still building) of townhomes; all the exterior doors swung out. I noticed just like I always check every window and the sliders….I like secure entry points!If the homeowner didn't specify the direction of swing, and if there's no security consultant reviewing the blueprints, the builder is most likely not going to care.

That doesn't entirely answer the question of why builders keep building doors like that. The answer to that may be simply: there's a demand for them, so they keep getting built. An industrial inertia may figure into it (it works for our customers, and no one says it's dangerous or not green, so why should we change it?).
MOO
There is glass on both sides of the door IMO. And if he initially hit the glass with the hammer from the outside (speculating) and then used to hammer to widen the opening enough so he could reach in and unlock/open the door, he could easily have moved the hammer in both directions pushing glass on both sides. Especially with tempered glass which will be in little cubes rather than long shards. MOO
