Did rioters piss and crap in the Capitol building or not?

[garybeck]

Days after the attack there were reports of piss and shit in the halls of the Capitol building. Today there is a report about someone who is accused of pissing somewhere, but it doesn't seem to have a lot of substance and there are not any charges in his case relating to it.

If you google it, there are various reports of piss and shit in the halls, but they are all dated within a day or two of the riot and nothing since then.

Just wondering if I missed it, has anyone actually been charged with anything like this? Are there credible reports that there was human feces in the hallways after the riot? Or was it just a rumor floating around in the chaos right after the attack?

I would think if it were true, that it would have more coverage in the media and there would be some charges by now relating to it.

1. I believe there was an assumption

because so many of the insurrectionists were a-holes.

[hlthe2b]

2. I really have no reason to doubt the accounts of defecation in the Capitol.

[global1]

30. I Have To Think That In The Aftermath Of The Insurrection That Someone.....

took videos of all the damage and destruction that took place in the Capitol Bldg that day. Wouldn't that be needed for insurance purposes?

There must be a video somewhere.

3. Janitors had to clean up the mess ASAP

They couldn't wait for CSI to arrive and collect DNA samples

[Shermann]

4. The riot was certainly downstream from Steve Bannon's "shit flood" in a metaphorical sense nt

[Hekate]

5. Ask a janitor who was there.

6. On Thursday

President Biden said they did in his speech at the Capitol. Watch it again.

[dalton99a]

7. +1

Finally, the third Big Lie being told by a former president and his supporters is that the mob who sought to impose their will through violence are the nation’s true patriots.

Is that what you thought when you looked at the mob ransacking the Capitol, destroying property, literally defecating in the hallways, rifling through desks of senators and representatives, hunting down members of Congress? Patriots? Not in my view.

[garybeck]

8. wouldn't you think, if that were true, that

it would be in some charges somewhere?

[snowybirdie]

9. Joe Biden said it happened

Good enough for me. And how can you prove who did it? DNA! LOL!

[Achilleaze]

10. Yes, he used the polite word "defecate" to describe what the Repubes did

The rabid Republican mob shit and pissed all over the USA and our Capitol building.

Never forget.

19. Yep. Scroll down

13. Only if they could prove that the person

Charged did it.

Otherwise,the janitorial reports of cleaning up actual feces should suffice.

14. It probably falls under "Disorderly Conduct", or "Damaging/Defacing Public Property".

In Chicago, there are specific charges. "Public Urination" (Example: Every alley near Wrigley Field becomes a urinal after a CUBS game, and people DO get busted. I even had guys pissing on my lawn back when I lived over there ), and "Public Defecation". Every jurisdiction handles it a little differently, I suppose.

18. There was an article just the other day where one of the insurrectionists

confirmed he pissed on a column, inside the capitol.

[MrsCoffee]

21. It is in the court documentation. The charge is likely disorderly conduct.

Here are the people charged:

Here’s the guy who urinated on a column in the capitol.

https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/fourth-arkansan-charged-in-january-6-riot-accused-of-urinating-inside-us-capitol-cafeteria/

I think it fell under disorderly conduct for that guy. Here is court documentation:

https://237995-729345-1-raikfcquaxqncofqfm.stackpathdns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/snowcoplaint.pdf

I don’t think you are going to find “charges” that say defecated or urinated in the Capitol. You would have to look through court documents to see exactly what they did.

Having found one such case documentation of urinating in the Capitol, I’m pretty much gonna take my President’s word as gospel here. I don’t have time to go through all those cases.

11. Just yesterday or day before I heard a congressman or senator refer

to people smearing feces on the wall. Again.

There were of course earlier reports of people crapping in the hall and in a bathroom and then tracking it around. I've never seen pictures released.

Fwiw, this particular form of acting out hostility and desecrating public spaces is common, so it has that credibility at least. With the numbers who were there of different attitudes and lacking leadership, it'd be downright strange if no one even pissed on the walls.

People who've been foreclosed on often say goodbye to their former homes by peeing and defecating along with all other forms and degrees of vandalism. It's NOT uncommon.

[Progressive Jones]

15. Trashy, nonetheless. nt

[Botany]

12. Does this person look like somebody who would do that?

[Progressive Jones]

16. 50/50 nt

[Midnight Writer]

22. I see a turd right there.

[Botany]

24. Yup!

Straight from Pig's Breath, Arkansas with years of listening to Rush, Fox, social media
such as Facebook (Russian disinformation) other crap such as InfoWars, NRA, Christian
Evangelical shit, and his good old boys @ the bar and/or Klan rallies and this jack wad
thought he was "getting over on the libs" by breaking into Peloi's office and maybe
spreading his own wastes on the walls there .... fuck him.

17. How would you expect the police to know which persons shitted in the capitol? Meanwhile,

here's a picture of a guy pissing on the capitol. (Scroll down in this thread and you will see it)

20. DNA evidence

They left it behind.

[Solomon]

28. You really think the workers who had to clean that shit up preserved it

for testing?! And if so, what would they test it against? DNA doesn't have your name and address on it. You match to DNA that's known.

[Miguelito Loveless]

31. No, I expected the police

To treat it like a crime scene. Would love to have seen a lawyer explain how his client’s shit wound up on a desk.

[jmowreader]

23. The whole building is covered with cameras

If someone did this, there’s video.

[Solomon]

29. That presumes everyone caught on camera could be identified.

I believe the people who said they had to clean it up.

[Initech]

25. Someone broke into Nancy Pelosi's office, peed on the rug, and then bragged about it on social media

26. James Douglas Rahm III

27. even discounting the obvious malice of those animals -- consider the practical side of it

Where are the bathrooms to service that many people? It would be inevitable that even if they weren't animals, there simply weren't enough accessible restrooms for them to relieve themselves if needed.

Hence, logic dictates that some most have shit or pissed in the Capitol. I suspect we'll see video evidence of it in the coming weeks.
