MIM do you have relatives that speak English more often that not that you could talk to more often just to keep your english even just a bit more?
Sometimes it's extremely difficult to understand ya. But generally speaking we get what you are attempting to say.

I don't really have much to add besides that this whole situation is very...umm interestingly funny.

He was a principle for ten years and has no concept on how a fire alarm works. What a crock of BS.

Bowman took down the Emergency Exit signs before pulling the fire alarm handle. What was the reason for removing the signs?

If nothing appropriate happens to Bowman, Some high-profile civilian needs to go pull that fire-alarm handle, and demand the same "forgiveness".

Has that been proven yet?
I've not seen a shred of evidence to support that.
Now I don't think he made a mistake but I do know he wanted this to pass so...maybe he was on some herb and forgot? Probably not but the removal of signs then to pull that would become a far more serious crime.

Pulling a fire alarm should open all doors.

I do believe that is protocol set by the marshals.

Someone should tell Bowman. He had no reason to pull that alarm. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

a reply to: Tarzan the apeman.

Oh I think if someone is that....umm dumb they probably and most definitely not be in the position he is in. If he did so on purpose then I fully expect his bum to be held to many charged but I'm no expert on the law but if I did that at that place and time I would be put in prison. If it was truly an accident which I kinda doub,t he should be removed and well honestly I don't know what charges he should face.
But he needs to step down because of at the very least ignorant behavior and a lack of self awareness of emergency use outlets.
What he did be it any way was weak and dumb.
Still funny but dumb.

He knows what a fire alarm looks like . He was the principal of a school. Not buying his excuse or apology he knew what he was doing.

Acted to stop an official proceeding by implementing a false fire alarm that could have lead to panic? Seems that should be some sort of felony? Maybe even insurrection?

Why would he want to delay the vote on something he was in favor for? Also, it was in the Cannon Building not the Capitol, so how would it delay the vote?

Is he an idiot? Yes. But let's not lie about what actually happened.

Like Russia Trump Collusion?

Like Hunter’s laptop was Russian Disinformation?

What is the truth?

Why pull the fire alarm in the first place?

Unfortunately , the alarms are not wired to the sprinkler system.

Wouldn’t taking down exit signs be understood as a way to further endanger the people running for the exits ? Get everybody turned around, stacked up, stampeding over top of each other ?
This is “shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theater” X 1000.

As was said already, what a clear but pitiful example of the jagoff retarded a-holes that own the democrat party today.

Not even our local smurfs know what to say about it. Layin low, clamming up.

This is like yelling fire in a cinema with extra steps on tops. The guy should be prosecuted and thrown the book at.

No it does not work like that. Also emergency doors often, if not by law in most countries, have to be self opening from the inside. You just run against them and rip on the handle once or twice and they open. Or the ones where you have to push something aside that will then automatic trigger the alarm. The former are called panic locks and I had to install such in my own building.

There are reasons there are special emergency exits though. One being because air fuels fire and the 1st advice in any fire is keep the doors and windows closed much as possible, to not bring more oxygen to the fire, making it worse. Someone opening a window in between the fire and the emergency exit could make everyone behind trapped.

Woops spoke too soon.

The incomprehensible nonsense grade school posts have arrived.

If there was ever an incident where even the least competent among us could say “I have no excuse to offer on this one”, this would be it.

But noooo, can’t have that. Must have babies being babyish all over the floor. Our own little group of Bowmans.

Well, you managed to be about 100 % ass backwards lol.
Fire alarm system releases magnetic locks on hold-opens, thereby closing almost all.the doors, especially on corridors.

It controls the spread of the fire, especially through long narrow spaces that would act like a chimney.

Elevators also shut down for the same reason.

ATS is a special place where people who know so little, talk so much.
