Fire Andrea Mitchelle ^ | July 29, 2013

Tian Jiamel a 58 year old woman has been arrested in Washington DC for defacing property. Tian Jiamel was arrested after green paint was found splattered at Washington’s National Cathedral. According to Fox News authorities planned to question Jiamel about two similar vandalism incidents including the Lincoln Memorial. A ‘language barrier’ delayed the interrogation. There doesn’t seem to be any Facebook or Twitter accounts with the name Tian Jiamel.

Cathedral spokesman Richard Weinberg said the paint was discovered there about 2pm ET and was still wet. Linda St. Thomas, chief spokesperson for the Smithsonian Institution, confirmed green paint was discovered on the Joseph Henry statue Monday morning and said it would be removed within one day. Henry was the Smithsonian’s first secretary.

Officials later identified the woman as Tian Jiamel, 58, of no fixed address. She was charged with defacing property

Illegal? Or just an immigrant living off the fruit of the land?

Her first name is Chinese. Her last name appears Muslim in origin, but not necessarily so.

I'll bet she's one of those middle-aged losers who's in the "Occupy" movement in DC.

“I’ll bet she’s one of those middle-aged losers who’s in the “Occupy” movement in DC.”

But she doesn’t speak English? And a translator for Spanish should be easily, and readily available. This is somewhat odd!

Given that National Cathedral has gone gay, isn’t this a hate crime?

Ever notice that the homeless don’t commit crimes? Or at least, when they do, they become people of “no fixed address?”

Has anyone else read accounts that state that “symbols” were painted on some of the defaced property? Yet - I cannot find any photos of the symbols or any explanation of what these symbols were..... makes you wonder what the media is hiding here....

There is no homeless problem under Obama (or Clinton). It only exists under Republican presidencies.

Its entirely possible that she speaks english but chooses not to so she can be an even bigger pain in the ass.

“Almost certainly she’s mentally ill.”

That’s what I’m thinking too. Certainly a progtard.

One would expect better security at national monuments and historic treasures.

But, wait, I get it! The feds can't afford it because they're keeping track of how many robo-calls I get to change electric companies. (sarcasm) Besides which, if one of these edifices got destroyed, we'd have to lose even more privacy in order to keep us safe.

She looks like she could be southeast asian ... like Malaysian or Muslim Thai.

I don’t think Spanish is the language in question.

She might even be Indian or something.

I thought they had a sentry at the Lincoln Memorial 24 hours a day.

What is to prevent someone planting a big bomb at the Lincoln Memorial? That would not be so easy to fix.
