Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., indicated Wednesday that he will plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge over pulling a fire alarm in a congressional building on Capitol Hill last month.
Bowman has agreed to pay the maximum fine of $1,000 for one misdemeanor count of falsely pulling a fire alarm — a charge that carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail. He will also provide a formal apology to Capitol Police.
“I am responsible for activating a fire alarm, I will be paying the fine issued, and look forward to these charges being ultimately dropped," Bowman said in a statement Wednesday.
He didn’t pull a red handle fore alarm like you see on a wall. He opened a door that is hooked up to a fire alarm. He claimed the door ir usually wide open and he had no idea that openeing the door would set of an alarm.
i read this quote further down the thread:
seems like he was pissed off that he couldn’t exit the building so pulled the fire alarm to release the doors
Um, yeah, he did pull a fire alarm like you see on a wall. Then he ran instead of apologizing for it. A former principal should know a thing or two about fire alarms.
Comments like this show just how left leaning and insincere this community is. He absolutely pulled a fire alarm. He didn’t open a door that was connected to a fire alarm. He either did it intentionally, or he’s a legitimate low iq moron, in which case how is he in the position that he’s in?
Just FYI the footage got released that 100% shows he did it on purpose and knew what he was doing, and pulled a literal fire alarm. It was not a door that was hooked up to a fire alarm:

Not only that but he literally REMOVED THE WARNING SIGNS before doing so.
