Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulls fire alarm ahead of vote to pass short-term funding bill
WASHINGTON — The House Administration Committee is investigating why Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., pulled a fire alarm in a Capitol office building on Saturday, according to a post on social media by the committee.

Bowman’s office acknowledged he pulled the alarm, but suggested it was unintentional.

“Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “The Congressman regrets any confusion.”

"Rep. Jamal Bowman pulled a fire alarm in Cannon this morning," an account controlled by the Republicans on the House Administration Committee wrote on X, the website formerly known as Twitter, including spelling the congressman's first name incorrectly. "An investigation into why it was pulled is underway."

The post was signed by committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis.

The U.S. Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The fire alarm sounded in the Cannon office building, which is connected to the Capitol via an underground tunnel, as the Republicans were trying to begin a vote on a 45-day spending measure to keep the government open.......

===============================

What is this high school? It is against the law to falsely pull a fire alarm. I hope he gets prosecuted to the full extent of the law. It is also against the law to disrupt official proceeding. Where have we heard that before:thinking:

Bowman said he thought the alarm was the door. They have photos. This guy was a principle surely he knows what a fire alarm is. He interrupted an official proceeding. Throw him in jail without bail.:rofl2:
 
This is typical "pranking" by a Leftist to stop something they don't like. Nothing new, just criminal, as usual...
 
Ironic how "interrupting an official proceeding" is now infuriating the trumptards.

Hypocrisy much?

Now, if the guy did it on purpose - it's wrong. <-- that's the difference between Dems and trumtpards. Whether it's this guy or Menendez, we call a crime a crime. Not just when the other side does it.

What's infuriating is this guy is a Democrat so I doubt he'll get the same sort of punishment--eg., tossed in jail to await trail without bail and then have the book thrown at him--that Trump supporters got. This isn't about Trump, but rather about a double standard when it comes to justice.

Yeah, most likely he won’t be convicted of sedition. Or even impeached.

Oh, the double standard! LOL

Have you ever in your life heard of someone going to jail for pulling a fire alarm? Jesus Christ, do you people ever discuss anything that matters?

Has trump been thrown into jail without bail? Steve Bannon? Rudy? Mike Lindell? Mike Flynn? Mark Meadows? Please tell me if they have, I must've missed it! As far as I know most of them are awaiting trial and free to walk around. One of them is even running for president.

Can You Go to Jail for Pulling a Fire Alarm?
In the state of Illinois, pulling a fire alarm when there’s no fire falls under disorderly conduct. Because disorderly conduct is a crime, you can go to jail for it. In fact, the law says “A person commits disorderly conduct when he or she knowingly… transmits or causes to be transmitted in any manner to the fire department of any city, town, village or fire protection district a false alarm of fire, knowing at the time of the transmission that there is no reasonable ground for believing that the fire exists…”

§ 22–1319. False alarms and false reports; hoax weapons.

Any person violating the provisions of this subsection shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a felony and may be punished by imprisonment of not more than 5 years or fined in an amount not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01 or the costs of responding to and consequential damages resulting from the offense, or both.

You could get a whopping big fine in the thousands and up to 5 years in prison for it in Washington DC...

Upon conviction
 
This is the same as shouting fire in a crowded theater, but nothing will be done to this criminal insurrectionist and the tv networks will censor the story.

Its obstruction of Congress...u stupid commie

Obstructing Congressional or Administrative

Proceedings (18 U.S.C. 1505)

Section 1505 outlaws obstructing congressional or federal administrative proceedings, a crime
punishable by imprisonment not more than five years (not more than eight years if the offense
involves domestic or international terrorism). The crime has three essential elements. First, there
must be a proceeding pending before a department or agency of the United States. Second, the
defendant must be aware of the pending proceeding. Third, the defendant must have intentionally
endeavored corruptly to influence, obstruct or impede the pending proceeding. Section 1505
offenses are not RICO or money laundering predicate offenses. Conspiracy to obstruct
administrative or congressional proceedings may be prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. 371, and the
general aiding and abetting, accessory after the fact, and misprision statutes are likely to apply
with equal force in the case of obstruction of an administrative or congressional proceeding.
