Bowman's fire alarm was an emergency exit [View all] LiberalArkie Oct 2023 OP

Seems like corporate media did it again..................... Lovie777 Oct 2023 #1

Where I used to work, you had to press a big button and hold it to exit and use a badge LiberalArkie Oct 2023 #4

He had an hour to get to the Floor to vote, it was a procedural vote. bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #36

What does Emergency Exit Only mean? I am not buying this excuse JohnSJ Oct 2023 #2

In some office buildings it means what it says, emergency only as it does not have a LiberalArkie Oct 2023 #3

I don't understand why any excuse is needed. yardwork Oct 2023 #5

The sign was clear. Would you defend the same thing if was MTG, Gaetz, or one of the crazies? JohnSJ Oct 2023 #7

I'm just curious why you think a child predator and an insurrectionist loon should be afforded... Hassin Bin Sober Oct 2023 #15

I don't see what MTG and Gaetz's extracurricular activities have to do with AZSkiffyGeek Oct 2023 #35

Maybe you should read the post I was responding to. Should have also learned that at 5 years old Hassin Bin Sober Oct 2023 #49

I can read. I also know what "non-sequitur"means. AZSkiffyGeek Oct 2023 #50

Thank-you. Put any republican name in there, McCarthy, McConnell, etc. also Bowman apologized JohnSJ Oct 2023 #61

You know that wasn't what I was saying. Put McConnell in there and answer the damn JohnSJ Oct 2023 #60

What?! Charged and resign?! No. yardwork Oct 2023 #19

Enjoy your stay. n/t rzemanfl Oct 2023 #21

I don't think the sign was clear, and this was a special circumstance. yardwork Oct 2023 #18

it's like watching the congressional version of "The Anal Retentive Chef" CatWoman Oct 2023 #34

And MTG etc would not have apologized nt treestar Oct 2023 #75

I guarantee you, we would never be aware of this incident unless we were staff or family members. msfiddlestix Oct 2023 #40

lame take Recycle_Guru Oct 2023 #59

Thanks. The signs and fire alarm activator are all red. John1956PA Oct 2023 #8

I don't think it was done as a "prank", but it was a stupid thing to do, and I would bet that if any JohnSJ Oct 2023 #10

Um, "emergency exit" isn't confusing at all Snooper9 Oct 2023 #54

I agree, that is what it says. If I was in a hurry I can see myself doing the same thing. Imagine doc03 Oct 2023 #11

and we would be slaming any MAGA who did something like that. I don't think it was a "prank", but JohnSJ Oct 2023 #12

I would like to think we would we understand. But probably make fun of them. And some would find a boston bean Oct 2023 #22

Only if it reporters made it a thing. msfiddlestix Oct 2023 #42

I've never in 60+ years seen a sign labeled "emergency exit" that wasn't alarmed. Igel Oct 2023 #16

Being late for the vote means he misses it, and maybe the government shuts down. yardwork Oct 2023 #20

This was just any vote. It was a procedural vote on adjournment bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #26

Has he ever said why he was late ? MichMan Oct 2023 #56

He was not late. bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #64

He said he was rushing to make a vote. MichMan Oct 2023 #65

Yes he did say that bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #67

This is the important vote he was rushing to bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #68

The alarm was pulled 57 minutes before the vote ended. bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #69

He pulled the fire alarm next to it. Thinking that would open the door. When he should have pushed boston bean Oct 2023 #24

Thank you for the clarification. n/t rzemanfl Oct 2023 #27

I don't understand why you find this incident worthy of contempt. msfiddlestix Oct 2023 #47

And this is a close up of one of the 3 signs. bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #30

It isn't rocket science JohnSJ Oct 2023 #51

Just shows it's best to not jump to conclusions. DinahMoeHum Oct 2023 #6

With a sign that says "Emergency Exit Only", would you really press the fire alarm when there wasn't JohnSJ Oct 2023 #9

Because of the sign. boston bean Oct 2023 #38

He's caught on camera pulling the fire alarm. comradebillyboy Oct 2023 #13

It sounds like an overdose of arrogance to me. "Rules are for lesser people." Chainfire Oct 2023 #14

Thank you, you just hit the nail on the head. bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #28

This sounds to me like he simply LuckyCharms Oct 2023 #23

Maybe from now on, each member will have a little tutorial on those doors when they first take CTyankee Oct 2023 #74

Who decided a person in a fire should have to wait 30 seconds? rzemanfl Oct 2023 #25

The sign indicates that a person must wait 30 seconds before the door unlocks. John1956PA Oct 2023 #31

Who in a real emergency has that much time to figure out the direction boston bean Oct 2023 #33

You are correct. RZEMANFL pointed this out, and I agree with their observation. n/t John1956PA Oct 2023 #37

Right. You have to stand there for 30 seconds. intheflow Oct 2023 #44

Can't speak for this particular door NYC Liberal Oct 2023 #53

Fascinating! intheflow Oct 2023 #62

It's an external door to a secure complex. bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #66

If that were true, intheflow Oct 2023 #71

Yes, and when the door is open, there are two members of the Capitol Police posted there. bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #72

I had that question too. Seems way too long. boston bean Oct 2023 #32

Well someone here thought that the signage was clear and said, if I recall correctly, rzemanfl Oct 2023 #39

The sign is confusing as all shit. Especially if one is in a real emergency. boston bean Oct 2023 #41

Plus that door was open during the week as I understand it. rzemanfl Oct 2023 #45

I don't know that either. But I would hope so. boston bean Oct 2023 #46

That sign is so bad that "Seinfeld" producers would have rejected a script built around it. John1956PA Oct 2023 #48

+1 uponit7771 Oct 2023 #73

The sign says Emergency Exit Only bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #52

I've been tempted to share this, against my better judgement but here goes CatWoman Oct 2023 #55

When they use the door, do they pull the fire alarm next to it? bottomofthehill Oct 2023 #57

i was addressing your point about the sign CatWoman Oct 2023 #58

You're missing that he said he pulled the alarm, Ms. Toad Oct 2023 #63
