Jamaal Bowman pulls fire alarm before house vote on stopgap spending bill | WION

A fire alarm was pulled by Socialist Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Cannon House Office Building on Saturday (Sep 30), just before the House was about to vote on the crucial government funding bill, an incident which the New York Democrat called an 'accident'. House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, who is a Republican from Wisconsin, revealed the incident in a statement adding that an investigation is underway.

When this happens in a school, it’s considered an act of sabotage. And the guilty is immediately expelled

[williamcr]

Charge him and remove him from office.

Ok democratic voters tell me how Republicans are to blame for this say it was a simple mistake, the man was a middle school administrator he knows fire alarms ..We have as a country failed ourselves by lowering our standards for what it means to be a politician .

"No one is above the law, including President Trump" is what Jamaal texted 30 March 2023.
It should have read "No one, unless you're a Democrat, unless you're Black, is above the law, ..."

The Federal Law does not distinguish between pulling a fire alarm by accident or not, ignorance is no excuse, just like the Jan 6 prisoners are being looked at. He must go to jail for stopping congress from doing its job.

Release the video. I'm guessing he wasn't trying to get through the door

*Republicans (I am an independent) need to bring the hammer down on this bec that's what the Democrats would do to them! There are people in jail for disrupting an official government proceeding on Jan 6th!*

[jamesantosca]

The perp is full of it! There is also video of him from earlier in the day removing those two cautionary signs on the doors' panic bars. Look at the still shot of him pulling the alarm and you'll see that those two signs are not present on the panic bars. It's only the two smaller signs on the outside of the doors which are visible in that still shot. He thought that removing those two prominent signs ON THE PANIC BARS would give him plausible deniability. So, his triggering the alarm was premeditated!

[Kit-Voodoo]

Dem here. Arrest and charge that man! No one is above the law.

[arleenmorlino]

Oh yeah right ….he probably had his excuse all figured out before he did it …he needs to answer for this .!!!!😡

[leonardhughes]

He was thinking "I'm a Democrat, so I'm immune from any problems. No fine or charges."

[chetlouisiana]

Send him where the Jan 6 protestors are staying. Anything less would be an injustice.

[LilMissSmartyPants.]

Bowman commited an act of terrorism..WHY is he not arrested yet?

[keefmeister]

This would be more accurately termed as a "BLM Filibuster."

[hannahmaebeaver]

He was acting out a emotional state of mind.
Irrational decision.
These types tend to be of a lesser intelligence around 83.
No the type to be in congress.

[mikerose]

Falsely pulling a fire alarm could also constitute illegal obstruction of congressional proceedings, a felony under federal law 18 U.S.C. § 1505. The felony is punishable by no more than five years.

[magaman]

Bowman should be removed permanently!!!

[Tom-modr]

Just shows the quality of politicians who are in DC. God help us.

[rhapsidyb]

This man was a highschool principle. HE DAMN WELL KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING...

[JessicaZanerealz]

The childish thing to do, makes sense.
