The Domino Effect: Capitol Security Disrupted by a Fire Alarm Pull

Any articulation or any justification that it was an accident is complete nonsense. Hundred percent. And it tells you that they they think that the American people are are dumb. They either think we're dumb or they know that there's gonna be no consequences. Right? Something's gotta change. Absolutely. And we're gonna keep bringing it up, right? Especially this is relevant to what we're talking about. This is this is security. In addition to this, Let's say that there was somebody around, Capitol, hill that wanted to do a harm, right? The moment that he pulled this open, Everything all security defenses for the most part are down, which is why they needed to bring in additional resources to help secure the building. But they gave that door and open, right? They gave gave that opportunity for someone to come into the building that would normally not be stopped. Right? I mean, would be stopped through whatever means. Now they're not they're not able to do that. Right? They're having to go and do other things. Well, what makes him any different than the kid that we arrested in two thousand and eighteen. I believe it was September, October, twenty eighteen. At Texas City High School that made a threat. Now it wasn't the same as pulling an alarm, but it was a threat. And, because at the time when the threat he had given a deadline or a date in which the an attack was supposed to occur, we pulled in other resources from other municipalities and whatnot and the the culmination or accumulation of those those other additional resources and the cost was considered when that that seventeen year old kid was charged with a felony Right. For making a false report. Right? Or terroristic threat. I can't remember. I think it was But this happens everywhere. It's not just unique to hear it. It happens across the country every day. Every single day. Right. And and those individuals are not spared. They're not no no house minority leaders coming and saying, I was just an accident. Just let them go. Fine. As a licensed fire alarm company, you know, we we interface with these fire alarm systems. And there's a whole process when you're working on them. To put them in test with the monitoring center. Mhmm. And and it's something that you have to do. And and and that, you set it for a period of time. If that time elapses and a technician sets off an alarm as part of a test or working on the system, fire trucks show up and and in many cases, we can be fined. Sometimes there's a professional courtesy there of, hey, look, I made a mistake, test timer, came off and there's some leeway there that we get. But in in most cases, if they have the full rights to issue a citation right there and and find. Yeah. But you always have rep, hakeem, hakeem jeffries who you can lean on to articulate that there was just an act. Just an act accident. Yeah. It's just an accident. Just an accident. So just keep that in mind. Yeah. It it's it's ridiculous. Yeah. A hundred percent. I agree. So, alright, Will? Well, it's just gonna be a few more days and we'll have something else to talk about because this seems to be happening at a a pretty quick clip here. More few more minutes. Right. I mean, seriously, I don't know. It's within a few days of each other. This is ridiculous. And it And and we expect more as as citizens, as Americans that that our elected officials are gonna represent us and act like, you know, responsible adults. What happened? Where did it go? Like where did where did the responsible adults in the room that that we've elected? Where did they go? I'm not I'm not understanding it.
