Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulls fire alarm ahead of vote to pass short-term funding bill

Right-wingers: "One guy pulling a fire alarm is just as bad as a violent mob trying to overthrow the government at the urging of the President."

Yes, it's just that kind of logic that makes everyone take you all so seriously.

Not.

If both had the same intent, then they're no different. All you are doing in that case is making an appeal to quantity.

So you're saying that pulling a fire alarm was an intent to undo a Presidential election?

More of that nutty right-winger logic again I guess.

So by your logic then, going 5 mph over the speed limit on an interstate highway is the equivalent of driving 100 mph through a school zone.

Because they both involve exceeding the speed limit.

Give it up.

This is going nowhere for you.
 
If this all pans out as exactly as the headlines say, it was a REALLY DUMB ASS MOVE...and a pretty lame one at that, as it really doesn't stop anything, and will have consequences for Bowman. Also, it gives the MAGA mouth pieces in the media and the racist rabble in general talking points for the next month or so.

>sigh< As the lady said, "and so it goes.<

Red herring rebuttal on your part using absurdism as a basis.

How am I not dealing with it?

Whatever the charge is for pulling a fire alarm is what he should be charged with..

Whatever the penalty is for pulling a fire alarm is what he should receive.

Nonsense.

You made an absurd comparison based on absurd logic.

I merely illustrated how absurd your logic was.

How are you not dealing with it? Dude pulled the fire alarm. That's a crime. He did it. Deal with it.
 
Our leaders in Congress come in at around 8th grade level in intelligence and maturity.

Buckle Up Fuckers.....this gets punished.
 
I renew my objection to the massive amounts of JPP clutter, which happens only because so many of the membership here are scum.

I should have posted in this thread from the jump but I did not see it, hoping for better (over optimism has been my great failing this life) i did not look for dupe threads.

I don't understand why you don't see yourself in that statement.......personally I am ready to admit rational people can do something incredibly stupid in the passion of the moment.......I see no need to send him to prison for 22 years.....
 
What happens to the people who might have needed emergency fire and EMS services when they were attending to the fake alarm?
And of course, if depends if if was malicious and willful....it was a squad member, wasn't it?

What if EMS personnel or citizens had gotten injured ? Firemen rushing through the scene through stop lights is not risk free. And I'm sure the Capitol takes priority over other emergencies. What if your child died because the Fire Department was responding to a false alarm. Bowman knew what he was doing.

Exactly...which is why such a malicious act should be taken seriously...

Ruh roh. The always bullshittery filled “what if”.

The mantra of losers.
 
Why is pulling a fire alarm when there is no fire a criminal offense? What if, indeed...
