Former Olympian David Hearn arrested at Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

Calij2BK177

I hope he sues their ass off!! The White House needs to reimburse the taxpayers for every vanity project not approved by Congress.

Captanne171

Meanwhile, hundreds of pardoned J6 insurrectionists — some of whom confessed — have gone on to commit heinous new crimes against new victims (just two more today). So, crimes are being committed by known criminals but we pick up an Olympian on this? These priorities are screwed up.

MaryM164

It’s pretty hard to vandalize something that has already been destroyed.

Lisa LaRue82

I’m sick of all this corruption. The reflecting pool was just a con to steal our tax money. All of his “projects” are cons. Investigate the damn contractor. Investigate every contractor he’s hired. We’re being distracted while being robbed blind!

gingkotree06.bsky.social33

trump should be arrested for orchestrating this ugly mess of a formerly reflecting pool.

Silversalty25

Wow! Not a tourist like the Jan6 peeps.

Gotaklew21

Yet, DJT can destroy the rose garden, Oval office, East Wing and front lawn of WH, and is the person who is responsible for the destruction of Reflection Pond. We need a rework on the police dept in every damn State, and teach them them f**ing law.

Feathered Stone20

But shitting in the capital and all of this totally cool. OK got it guys got it.

Joanne Belknap16

I know I feel safer! This 67-year old former Olympian is clearly the problem with The Reflecting Pool! 🙄

Endicott Author15

I won't ask how idiotic the Mango Moron has become.

JovialJovian14

They are accusing passersby of damaging the lining, rather than admit that the application was entirely botched. Touching the debris is not a crime, the crime was the bribery and fraud that led to the half-assed project.

Tiger-Fred13

I don't think one can vandalise garbage.

One Earthling13

You know what... He's one of the fucking owners, just like I, and most of you, checking up on the shit work that management contracted out using his tax money!!!

melrt68.bsky.social13

They are really working overtime to cover up the latest fiasco for this administration. 🙄

phyllishistorian.bsky.social12

This is just stupid and vindictive. Of course we are curious about the disintegrating pool. It's not like he was stealing classified documents or anything.

Pete in CT12

Because pointing out a problem is now a crime

Resident of the Pale Blue Dot!9

And tRump pardons Jan 6 rioters who attack police and pedos. #StopTheCoup #SropTheMadness

BlueUnikorn9

If the paint was loose then it was garbage anyway and needed to be removed. How can touching something that is trash be damaging property?

Керрі Світ🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺8

They should have handed him a paycheck for cleaning up Trump's ungodly mess. All of that accursed paint needs to come out.

Only Merri8

And immediately after a loyalist journalist posted on X that the cyclist took a hose to cause more damage. What a bunch of lying POS

Jawn Claude Van Damme8

This is how he forms the narrative that this whole fiasco is democrats’ fault. Starts floating the idea of vandalism, then starts arresting people on Trumped up charges for it.

joe4zu.bsky.social8

This is how Baby Donny deflects blame for his pool failure.

AMANDA7

This isn't a presidency it's a authoritarian reality TV show where criticizing the poor construction gets you put in handcuffs.

dpbsmith.bsky.social7

That's not natural algal growth. Or a few chips of paint. It's not a reflection of clouds. I don't think it's a reflection of surrounding trees or monuments. I think the paint is coming off in entire sections--almost half of it. The NPS should be pressed to tell us exactly what we are seeing here.

Tom6

I have no desire to ever go to a federal park while this guy is the president. If these scumbags are going to do his bidding then fuck those people in that place

hillyyard.bsky.social6

How about arresting this destroyer?

N!k6

By their logic, trump should be arrested too

kitsunemom.bsky.social6

DC GRAND JURY YOU ONOW WHAT TO DO !!

Керрі Світ🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺5

Don Coglione doesn't like people pointing out that he has destroyed the Reflecting Pool in addition to destroying the Ellipse and the East Wing in his quest to trumpify DC.

JulianAlexanderTerris5

Their desperation is showing. 🗽

tinkeranderson.bsky.social5

It'a always someone else's fault! Workers probably snagged it when trying to remove the algae! Sure as shit a shoddy & very expensive unneeded job! What happened to 'getting rid of fraud'? Oh, yeah! It moved lock stock and barrel into 1600 Pennsylvania!

mmbren.bsky.social4

Authoritarianism in the age of Trump.

AnnForJustice4

What an outrage. Trump tore down the East Wing but they harass someone that was touching something that was already detached. This is so upside down

M B L4

Ridiculous waste of time and money. They should be ashamed and embarrassed.

CHRIS MONTROSE4

Another case that won't go anywhere. Release him no charges period.

The Park Police should arrest the contractors who vandalized the pool. They are the most culpable, especially because the KNEW they didn't have the experience or competency to do the job.

Hope and resilience are the keys to the fight against fascism4

I thought it was considered part of your civic duty to clean garbage out of waterways when you could.

youngcrone.bsky.social4

Christofascism is petty and deceitful and sadistic. You know they were under orders to make a big deal out of curiosity and of course people showing another Trump ripoff and failure.

Linda James4

A few hours later, a guy who picked up a rock near White House immediately arrested for demolishing the East Wing.

mjmnys.bsky.social4

They were laying in wait to catch someone, anyone, doesn't matter, because trump said it was vandalism, and now they need to make it so. The entire GOP is corrupt and complicit.

Ingrid 2.04

That’ll be a quick charges dismissed.

darlarg.bsky.social4

Craziness about this on other social media sites is mind boggling! Conspiracy theories... MAGA were posting the man had a knife and was diving under cutting away at the blue paint. As soon as Trump said 'it was vandalism' we had a bet at my house they would find someone to blame and arrest them! 🎯

delf3

LIke that sandwich assaulter, hopefully no jury will indict

minnesota-2024.bsky.social3

It's not inherently in the constitution but our taxes do pay for it so... Why can't he touch it? Ultimately, what's his crime? Curiosity?

Joanne Belknap3

Pedodent says WHO vandalized The Reflecting Pool?! Seemed just fine until he fucked it up with taxpayers’ 💰 in April!!!! 🤬 Reflect this 🖕

Jeers for Tears3

Not going to release the unredacted Epstein Files. But if you touch water...right to jail.

Rose3

He's a laughingstock and needs a scapegoat. The people who follow his orders are Creeps and Thugs. At the very least they should be ashamed of themselves. But Evil doesn't have shame.

Shut_this_shit_down_people3

Sue the ass off every single one of them.

Julia Dilliard💙🐴🇺🇦#Resist. DM's are blocked.2

If anyone should be arrested for destruction of federal property it's trump, the ufc, and the pool company owner who destroyed the reflecting pool. 😡

The charge will fail in a court of law.

jmcardinalsfan.bsky.social2

Sure arrest Olympian for touching chunk of blue paint but give millions to insurrectionists for beating police officers and trying to hang the VP

Sandy2

Remember the day Rump had his limo drive on the Reflecting pool during construction & experts suggested the weight of the vehicles wld likely damage the recently restored under-structure? Did Rump get a charge of destruction? Has gotten one for destroying the East Wing? The South lawn of the WH?

jokam74.bsky.social2

Believe this guy Trump administration is trying to blame the green water on anybody so Americans can stop laughing at Trump

SavRTruthTiger 💙🌊🌊🌊💙2

Moments later, U.S. Park Police officers should have arrested Trump on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government properties, many, many.

Starteller2

If he tore off pieces, what’s the harm? It can stay shedding like that, so taking a souvenir is no problem!

Can't we arrest trump for destruction of government property?

This police overreaction is the real crime. The no bid criminally overpriced and incompetent resurfacing "job" has been a criminal waste of tax dollars.

lucy7083.bsky.social2

So the park service arrested him for destruction of the pool. I’m sorry Trump already destroyed the pool. I said he should be arrested. Can that be arranged? Or am I deranged?

Touching something that has been destroyed with money taken from you, is now a crime, it appears.

ICC is gearing up to issue warrants for war crimes in Iran & crimes against humanity in the Caribbean & Pacific. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes to do with the destruction of children & others. It is called murder, life imprisonment or death. Work will begin on reparation.

Anyone who takes on the disagreeable task of removing that ugly useless peeling paint should be paid, not prosecuted.

The lying pedo-felon never owns up to his mistakes. He’s the “deflecting fool.”👿🤡

chocolatefire.bsky.social4

“Vandalized” is too kind for what trump did to the Reflecting Pool (politics, civility, faith in US government), think ‘molested’ or ‘desecrated’ are more appropriate.

Ice Bear4

Spoiler: Not a single person has been arrested for this, mainly as NO ONE is doing it....

For the Republic4

I know he’ll never get it through his thick skull because he lives in a fantasy world of his own creation and wants us all to live there too. Pouring hydrogen peroxide into the pool caused the paint to peel. This is not rocket surgery. The vandal is him.

Holger Giebeler3

Will the blue pieces be taken as souvenirs? Donald surely wants to collect them and sign them. The surrender in front of the Reflecting Pool

Trickemhunter3

Fuck trump a demented old man with dementia

Jinx3

HE is the one who is vandalizing DC. The WH looks like a busted bootleg junkyard due to the illegal Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom construction & the dead grass after the UFC debacle. The reflecting pool looks like wastewater & the "8647" looks more visible than before. It's embarrassing.

Barbara Mack3

What a lying MF. Just made up some criminals. can't wait until they go on trial.

sophiemyjoy.bsky.social3

Destroying the East Wing of the White House was destruction of a National Monument. trumpery should be in prison.

To many passes this person has been given in life created this. His rot is transforming public opinion and resultant. It is a weaking of the American hope and values. America is a generous nation, but has evolved into selfish Greed and theft through Misgovernment.

DrakenKnight2

I really, really hope folks that know how to do so are watching the DC courts and DC police arrest records because I seriously doubt anyone was arrested at this point in time

theclevermonkey.bsky.social2

Yeah, there's video of the vandalism happening, the perpetrators involved, the instigators explaining their entire conspiracy in the open, in detail along the way, and records of a $15 million (and growing) fraud perpetrated through payments to the conspirators and vandals.

Wow! He will never admit this is entirely on him and the people he had do the work

paullymoonbeam.bsky.social2

Can always count on Mrs. Betty Bowers.

Bellavavenus2

They caught the real vandal! Noticed first at the scene of the crime getting his instructions.

khyizang2

Steal millions via fraud and he’ll pardon you. But mess with a pool of water and he wants you to rot in jail for years. Idiot. Algae is everywhere. Ask anyone who grows hydroponically. Light, water, nutrients and you, too, can have green slime. Very democratic. Not picky and doesn’t judge.

Ande2

Here’s a few vandals. The yayhoo on the right should be the first one arrested, then Trump for giving him the no bid mil+ contract. Trump administration corruption turned the reflecting pool green. Period.

I guess you don't get arrested if you take a bulldozer to the East Wing.

It's also unbelievably pathetic and will be viewed as a ridiculous & unpopular act. This epitomizes how Republicans now govern: let's do absurdly unpopular things and then keep doing even more unpopular things when we find out people hate it. There used to be a cutting of losses.

spacecadetty🇨🇦3

Touching Trumps private property will always get you arrested, unless you're a 13 year old girl.🍻🇨🇦

It's like Trump having someone arrested for destruction of public property because they took a brick from the White House's East Wing after he demolished it.

Stephanie Eller5

It’s not earth-shattering and not up there with killing many, many people, but what Trump is doing to DC wounds some of us deeply. (Just like Bin Laden’s attacks on symbolic landmarks. Or the insurrectionists desecrating the Capitol.) That he’s an irresponsible vicious idiot is a given.

He's arresting people for even touching the f**king pool now! What reaction was he hoping for, exactly?

This is beyond stupid. The only thing that vandalized this whole escapade is the current administration’s ignorance and incompetence. I’m 100% certain they were told this wouldn’t work out and ignored it. But sure, blame the canoeist for touching the pool. That was the problem.
