Photo taken by the Reflecting Pool attacker & bicyclist David Hearn

[KS Toronado]

This is the photo taken by David Hearn minutes before his arrest, a partially detached piece of the Reflecting Pool liner is visible. The top of Hearn's shoe can be seen at the bottom of the photo.

Hearn is a three-time Olympian who competed in the canoe slalom. He won two world championships in whitewater racing before retiring from active competition in 2002.

On Friday, Hearn said he was detained for almost five hours at a Park Police facility on Hains Point before being released shortly after 9 p.m. He was reunited with his bike and rode home.

Law enforcement seems very willing to carry out even Trump's most petty illegal acts of intimidation.

1. Nazis being Nazis

37. Get their names and badge numbers...

Once the Don is dead, the button men are going to pay full freight on their crimes and actions in his service.

[dem4decades]

38. One can wish, he'll pardon every last brown shirt.

[Moostache]

39. Conviction and "Full Freight" are mutually exclusive here...

They may avoid prison, but when the veneer of service to the 'don' is removed, these people will still needs jobs and support. They may believe that the GOP will provide that for them, but they are dead ass wrong. They may get pardons, but what they won't ever get back is admission to polite society and gainful employment opportunities.

They are going to pay for their sins. One way or another, this stench will NEVER wash clean again. Ever.

2. Soon enough arrests will be made if u walk by one of the trump banners on one of the federal buildings and

and flip it the bird.

[KS Toronado]

4. The Fascists are starting up the NO FREE SPEECH agenda.

[Bengus81]

16. Or forget a Heil Trump

[Richard58]

23. Exactly.

They will call it an "act of domestic terrorism."

[underpants]

3. Arrested (and others) to create the VANDALS 💩 that they've fully bought into already

[Jvp]

11. Shouldn't Trump be arrested for vandalizing the reflecting pool?

Also, what about the owner of GreenWater, the company that won the no bid contract? Shouldn't they be held accountable for the vandalizing? Shouldn't they return large sums of money for poor inferior work?

[Randomthought]

18. The pool, the east wing and the white house lawn

All vandalized by criminal.

[Festivito]

13. MSM lets Trump claim terrorists, not him, made the pond turn green.

All excused now.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

5. A camera. That's the dead giveaway. NT

[Probatim]

15. This is far worse than cameras at Abu Ghraib.

Far worse.

Not to make light of torture, but I sort of miss Donald Rumsfeld.

[struggle4progress]

6. "It's witchcraft! We have laws against that!"

[joanbarnes]

7. Hope he's okay, glad he was released and not 'disappeared.'

The photo is strangely haunting, beautiful and unique!

[thesquanderer]

8. Great photo. With a bit of touchup and cropping, he could sell prints of that. (n/t)

[displacedvermoter]

28. He could enter next month's DU photo contest

as the theme is going to be "Two Colors"?

[ashredux]

9. Turn the really large picture of the entire pool with the left side down....

It’s starting to look like an outline of an elephant😂

[artemisia1]

10. Classic delamination. I worked in the spa industry while in college and I'm very familiar with it. That it occurred

without large, quick temperature changes tells me just how inept a job was done. Chemicals can exacerbate delamination, but the root causes is poor application and/or preparation of the underlying material.

[harumph]

17. another poster with some experience echoes your view and was inclined to think

they didn't give enough time for the concrete to dry out completely before applying the coats. I know wood has obviously different properties than concrete, but I know you shouldn't apply coatings of any kind over saturated wood, because when the moisture gasses out, it delaminates the paint. I would think similar principles apply. Having done a little fact finding, it seems the pool should have been drained, fully cleaned, fully dried, etched, vacuumed out, and only then should the under-sealer and epoxy have been applied. Moreover, the feeder pipes should have been shocked and purged prior to refilling. It's like everything the SOB touches - half assed. No doubt the contractor laughed all the way to the bank.

12. The hysteria in the Trump regime taints everyone who is involved with it.

[BradBo]

14. Id be embarrassed to be a Capital cop right now.

[reACTIONary]

24. David Hearn was arrested by the U.S. Park Police...

... Not the capitol police.

[Cha]

19. Wow, TY, KS! I've been very interested in

David Hean's encounter with the "reflecting pool".

I read this article on ESPN yesterday.

Hearn, 67, of Bethesda, Maryland, owned a company that made composite used to build watercraft. He said he stopped by the pool during his 64-mile bike ride Friday to see what was going on.

Hearn told The Associated Press that he reached into the pool because he wanted to examine the peeling new coating. He said he briefly touched a chunk that was still attached to the side of the pool, then let go shortly after a park worker told him to.

But, Hearn said, he was then detained by National Guard troops and Park Police for five hours before being released Friday night.

"I'm a curious citizen," Hearn said in a telephone interview. "I reached down to see what it felt like. It was very rubbery."

I hope all this exposes the faulty work the PEDO's contractor did.

I hope David Hearn exposes PEDO's Lies!

[BeneteauBum]

20. Such BS and a waste of taxpayers dollars

Ridiculous

Peace ☮️

[orangecrush]

21. I'm rather amazed that any Capital Police

Would do his bidding after what he has done.

[KS Toronado]

22. When surrounding yourself with yes-men, it must run downhill from there,

[reACTIONary]

25. David Hearn was arrested by the U.S. Park Police

not DC police.

[orangecrush]

26. Thank you

I understand now

[struggle4progress]

27. "Eeeek! That photo is a libelous pornographic act of vandalism and espionage!"

[Aussie105]

29. Remediation of the green pool

will cost twice as much as the original slap-dash cheapskate incompetent job.

[RVN VET71]

30. An overweight, syphilitic baby raping draft-dodger

who has nothing left in his life to live for save attacking and terrorizing people and who, ultimately, will stop at nothing to erase and eliminate not just his actual enemies but anyone who fails to genuflect when he waddles by with a pant load of excrement dripping down his leg and onto his shoes.

But there's good news. He is, after all, 80 years old. I don't know how much longer he has before we can watch there's a State funeral procession down Pennsylvania Avenue-- a well-attended one whose respectful mourning silence will be broken by the sound of a thousand corks popping from a thousand bottles of champagne and cheers breaking out on the avenue and in the bars in D.C. where it will be like St. Paddy's Day, with crowds out the door and people jostling for a view of the TV's behind the bar, hoping that the coffin will fall off the funeral caisson and onto the street, frightening the escorting horses who, restrained by their riders from galloping away in panic, trample the cadaver repeatedly, crushing it beneath their hooves to the horror of none of the celebrants.

What a day that will be indeed! But as Yogi admonished us: it ain't over 'til it's over. Among those who would be his successor there are less charismatic but equally evil people. America, on that day, must not let its guard down when Freedom is so close to being restored here.

31. I'm expecting the Brown Shirts next.

[KS Toronado]

32. They're still wearing camo, but I suspect that's about to change.

[OldBaldy1701E]

33. We already have them.

He just has not used them in that exact manner.

Yet.

[purr-rat beauty]

34. I'd love for his defense

To point out MAGA's recent destruction of...

...well, almost everything

[SamuelAdams]

35. I hope there are lawyers looking into this for him to see if there is a civil lawsuit possible.

It probably doesn't qualify as unlawful arrest since he was only detained but maybe a lawyer could figure something out.

[Zackzzzz]

36. In Chicago, every St Paddy's Day,

They dye the river a beautiful 'emerald' green.
Wouldn't dye have been simpler?
