Details of the alleged vandalism to the recently refurbished Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. were revealed in a court filing.
According to Deputy Director for the National Park Service Frank Lands, the incident took place shortly after the resurfaced pool was filled again with water on June 9, ABC News reported.
"The U.S. Park Police responded to an NPS report of damage to the reflecting pool, including a caulk over the foam sealant that was cut with a sharp knife or razor and destruction of delaminating surface material. In addition, approximately 70 fence post tops were thrown into the pool," Lands said in a declaration.
An Interior Department spokesperson said the vandalism is believed to be an isolated incident, and details weren't disclosed in order to prevent "deranged individuals" from copycatting the crime. Several days after the incident, the spokesperson said, there were recurring cases and videos of people ripping at the coating.

Somalia would be a great place to send these people to live out their lives.
The vandalism was real not alleged. You can say those accused were alleged to have done it but the vandalism itself happened.
Why the fence post tops? Were they pressure treated?
If they burned a mosque they would be hounded and thrown under the prison, but hey its’ just American monuments. Our government is run by pansies who have no balls.
Why the fence post tops? Were they pressure treated?
I assume these were metal fence-pole caps.
Demonic Possession is a real thing.
And is common in DC!..........Where The Exorcist was set..........
I think they need snipers guarding it.
Exactly, this is actual intelligent evil hating for the sake of hate, it burns with desire to profane all beauty as beauty only comes from our Lord.
When a two-year old has a temper tantrum he will likely grab and throw anything handy.
“”””The U.S. Park Police responded to an NPS report of damage to the reflecting pool, including a caulk over the foam sealant that was cut with a sharp knife or razor”””
If I understand correctly, the cutting of the caulking would allow water to get underneath the sealant and that would result in the sealant separating from the pool’s surface.
Ah, ok thanks. Still seems a little weird though as to why? Sharp edges? Sorry not trying to be dim, I just don’t think like a criminal.
When I was there in 96, it was nasty and dirty, full of sludge, duck poo and feathers, leaves and garbage.
That’s what these idiots want to return to.
Demonic possession is real...................
Make the perps drink it. They want it, they got it.
And of course, was AOC in danger while any of this vandalism was going on? That seems to be an important point in all cases of violence anywhere near her location.
they hate everything, they hate you, they hate themselves. Everything in this world is wrong to them. Who do you think this is a reflection of?? satan.
killing them or sending them to jail wont really help. in the long run, prayer is the only way to fight them.
They didnt kill them in biblical times either. Remember the crazy man who lived in a graveyard and broke chains? Jesus cast the demons out of the man to heal him. And they sent Jesus away because the demons were cast into a herd of pigs that ran into the sea and drown.
Should be mandatory 20 year prison time for desecration of national monuments.
They should be horse whipped.
Remove the offending hand.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Safe neighborhoods, Good schools, Stores without items on lockdown, Civility, Low taxes, Churches focused on God, Opportunity….
Vandalism of a refurbished monument is being praised on the Left. No American pride in these people, just childish blind hatred.
