Woman Charged With Vandalism Had Can With Green Paint
2013-08-01
Follow-up to a story posted a few days ago.
[WTOP] A woman charged with defacing the Washington National Cathedral was carrying what appeared to be a soda can containing green paint when she was arrested, and she has been linked to at least four other incidents of vandalism, including at the Lincoln Memorial, according to prosecutors and court documents.

Jiamei Tian, 58, appeared in D.C. Superior Court Tuesday alongside a Mandarin translator.

The woman, who has a Chinese passport, arrived in Washington a few days ago and was traveling on an expired visa, prosecutors said. Police said she had no fixed address but that she told officers she lived in Los Angeles.

#6  Did somebody say "expired visa"? Where's Janet Napolitano when you need her?

#5  Wasn't long ago that Chinese graffiti in Egypt caused a huge stir and the parents of the graffiti artist to publicly apologize for bringing shame on their nation.

What happened to China. They've become the ugly tourists.

#3  Means nothing, was she A Muslim?

She needed a Mandarin Chinese translator, Redneck Jim. Mandarin is a Han Chinese language, as opposed to the Uzbek or something like that. So the odds are that she's merely a bit nuts or doing a Chinese version of carving her name in things -- apparently Chinese tourists are fond of leaving their mark these days. And splashing paint around doesn't inspire terror -- if it had been jihad she would have been running around with a cleaver like those young men in London who tried to cut off that young soldier's head not long ago.

#2  A step up from Green ink.

Of course "green writing" does seem to be a certain religious trait.

Means nothing, was she A Muslim?

(The paint on the Lincoln Memorial looks like Arabic lettering)

Anyway, they caught her
