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.

There must be a video somewhere.

(5,252 posts)President Biden said they did in his speech at the Capitol. Watch it again.
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.

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

(6,011 posts)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.

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

I dont 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, Im pretty much gonna take my Presidents word as gospel here. I dont have time to go through all those cases.

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.

(12,323 posts)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.

(792 posts)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.
