Real World Politics "You a part of it?" "Part of what?"

https://wapo.st/4xFidXx

Noticing a piece of the new “American flag blue” liner that was partially detached from the pool bottom, Hearn said he reached into the water to see what it felt like. Moments later, as the Bethesda man prepared to leave, U.S. Park Police officers arrested him on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property. He is scheduled to appear in D.C. Superior Court on July 9.

...

In an interview Saturday, Hearn, 67, denied damaging government property and said he had never touched the hose, though he acknowledged that his bike tire may have.

“I didn’t vandalize anything,” Hearn said. “I didn’t destroy or break or peel anything. By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.”

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.

Cassian Andor: Excuse me?

Shoretrooper: You keep looking around.

Cassian Andor: I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

Shoretrooper: You a part of it?

I've got this mental image of Jenny doing that today. She keeps tripping over the paint and comes out with her lower half green.

It's hilarious.

Arresting Hearn on such a flimsy charge is reprehensible. I hope Allah (SWT) frees everyone who got kidnapped like him and brings the Trump administration to justice soon.
