Basically peeing on a grave.

He is going to use "Stand your ground" as his defense. He was so drunk that he thought the building was attacking him.

Did you guys not read the whole post?
Do you know what a rhetorical question is?

People wandering around drunk at night, are not going to know that, and as well, at night, you can't go through and out the back. You're obviously so missing the point, that I can't tell if you're trolls, or rednecks embarrassed that people think you don't even have modern plumbing, and are going out of you way to say, "We DO TOO have us some running water and terlets!"

I peed at the Alamo, though I think I used the restroom, but with all those people yelling, pointing, the rangers running around, and guys in big hats it was really hard to tell. I left due to all the commotion.

My buddy peed behind a tree in front of the library of congress after a night of drinking in D.C. and was promptly picked up by the ninja squad and presented with a urinating in public ticket. He was sentenced to community service, which meant picking up trash along the highway.
When he had to take a leak during the community service gig, and asked the officer where he should go? "Just go behind that tree."
Oh, the irony.

We had to go to the Alamo, because we were school kids and they made us.
It was a crappy little building made out of the stuff they make houses in Mexico with.
If I had to guess from the architecture and population Mexico won.
The only reason I'd ever go near the Alamo is for The River Walk.
And I refuse to walk up the hill at Breckenridge park.

what sucks is that from the back the Alamo just looks like a tall stone wall. If you didn't know it was the Alamo, it would seem like a perfectly reasonable place to pee behind a car or something. However it is in the middle of downtown, and you should be able to find a restroom close by.

What I think sucks is a lot of these places say No Public Restrooms when they got a perfectly good toilet inside for their employees.

I just got back from a vacation and pulled off the highway to use the bathroom in a small store. The guy said no public restrooms though I could see one right behind the register. I was like Dude give a man a break and let me use the room, I am going to buy some chit.

Nope he said there was a bathroom about 5 miles down some other road that looked like something out of the movie "Wrong Turn".

Soooooo, needless to say I walked out the store, around the corner and to the back of the store and pissed on his car parked out back and was back on highway in 5 min.

no. It was an admirable defeat for the Texans and an embarrassing victory for the Mexicans.

um. no. the mexicans invited the americans in as long as they became mexican citizens and converted to catholicism. then mexico outlawed slavery and those texans were just too lazy to do their own work.

remember the alamo? yeah, I remember whitey fighting to keep their slaves.

that is not what they teach in tejas, of course.

Rastapopulous: It's extremely disrespectful to urinate on any building, but especially the Alamo. Part of it is still a church not to mention that the entire site is a massive graveyard where the bodies of not only 185 Texians but also almost 600 Mexicans were burned or buried.

It's more a Texas memorial than a U.S. one since they were fighting for Texan independence. The entire place is a shrine to Texas liberty and is a military memorial. People that urinate on the Alamo are no different than if someone were to urinate on a memorial gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery.


That's like saying there's no difference between urinating on a grave at Arlington and urinating on an Ottoman grave from WW I. As you pointed out, the fight was on behalf of Texan independence, not American - thus, I think each American's level of reverence for the slain is up to them. There is some tacit obligation to revere one's own country's soldiers, but no automatic obligation to revere those of another army.

Did you read my post? If I'm stumbling around, there are far better places to pee. River walk is where most people are going to be, and there's plenty of dark underpasses there that already smell like urine. You have to go out of your way two blocks over to get to the Alamo.

Walker: moothemagiccow: Because People in power are Stupid: It seems like this happens a lot. Is there a bathroom nearby?

No

You can walk into the Menger Hotel right next door and use theirs in the lobby. That's what I did anyway when I had to go.


THIS! It's a pretty plush loo, too. Plus, the Menger hotel's bar is where Teddy Roosevelt formed the Rough Riders, so you'd still be peeing at a historical location. However, there aren't any signs outside the place saying "Tourists, you can pee here!" so you kinda have to be tipped off by a local that the Menger hotel bathroom is available to you.

Cormee: "The Alamo is one of the most instantly recognizable buildings in the world,"

Like fark it is. I doubt anyone outside the USA could tell you what it looks like.


I bet you could show most of those in the US a picture of the mission in Goliad and they would say it is the Alamo.
I think in one of the movies on the Alamo it actually looked more like the mission in Goliad.

Wow.

You pulled "I'm rubber, you're glue", and somehow, inexplicably, there's a double in there, because you accuse me of not reading, after I already did the same to you, and you go on to prove it in the bold, that you're missing the point entirely.

Yeah, you sound like a Texan. Jackass.

Also, that 2 blocks "out of the way" is not, indeed, "out of the way" if that's along the way to where you're going, or if you're ambling and that's where you were when the urge hits.
You're assuming he went on the alamo intentionally, as if he's saying "fark you alamo! fark you too texas!" and you're simply defending your warped sense of honor.

What the fark ever, take your protest somewhere else pal. It's an old building...that sits outdoors, in the rain, open to all environmental factors, even animals. So some guy peed on it, big farking deal.

The fact that so many people in this thread did say "no" that there's no bathroom in the area, and we all talk about "not for public use" bathrooms, and the fact that the Alamo CLOSES at 5:30pm or so...it all points to the useful answer to the question, "Are there not bathrooms there" as a valid and resounding no, close enough for government work.

Now, piss off, go be a dipshiat somewhere else.

Ashrams: If you treat me like an animal I will act like one.

Indeed. People have no manners. Sometimes, peeing in the street really is just lack of a better available option, when people refuse to be reasonable, they deserve a bit of a lesson, one way or another.

Though, to be fair, if I worked at X, and was given the option, I'd maybe take the risk and let someone take a shiat, just inhumane to ask people to do that outside, especially if it's an emergency, but I would tell them, my boss is a dick, I could lose my job, but his car is the BMW out back...if it was just someone needing to piss. Hell, might even give you a free soda or something if you make it really noticeable.(windshield, say).

I mean, it defeats the purpose if you just clean off the bottom of one tire is it? He may not even notice.

Those evil mexicans led by santa anita claus just hated the freedom loving (but slave owning) texans whom they invited to settle as a buffer against the comanche but then just decided to pee all over for the hell of it. I understand now.

Therion: The Alamo Curator and a preservationist will try to determine how serious the damage from the acids in the urine was to the wall of the Alamo, and to decide how best to remove the visible stain.

What the hell was that guy drinking; and/or has The Alamo Curator never heard of a garden hose?


For real.

falcon176: Omahawg: falcon176: Omahawg: falcon176: Omahawg: Oldiron_79: I hate it when self loathers apply 21st century geopolitics to the early 19th century world.

At the time of the US-Mexican war Mexico was larger and richer than the U.S. (not the other way around as in modern times) and the Mexicans where basicaly the ones being racist and not wanting the illegal border jumpers taking thier jerbs.

um. no. the mexicans invited the americans in as long as they became mexican citizens and converted to catholicism. then mexico outlawed slavery and those texans were just too lazy to do their own work.

remember the alamo? yeah, I remember whitey fighting to keep their slaves.

that is not what they teach in tejas, of course.

you're right, they teach the accurate version, not the retarded we hate texas so let's make some shiat up and believe it version that most americans know and love

um. no.

I'll dig up my college textbooks after i get home and come up with citations from professors for you if it would make you feel better?

otherwise, see this (new window)

I suppose you thought it was about freedom or something? bwah ha ha ha!

also, see lincoln's 'spot resolution' for the beginnings of american adventurism in the southwest.

wow you've convinced me, also did you know the earth is flat there's even a website for it Link (new window) and mine has .org at the end too so it's clearly credible. Better go dig up those textbooks before you embarrass yourself further toots.

will an .edu link make you feel better? (new window)

I must not be seeing the part where it says "the only reason the Texans revolted was slavery" you'll have to point it out for me, but seeing as it isn't there it might take a while.


sigh. no, it doesn't say that. where did I say that was the only reason? it was, however, a primary reason (if not the primary reason) I guess go ahead and believe whatever american history myths you want to believe. washington can chop down cherry trees and you can even have nicolas cage star in it.

Rastapopulous: It's extremely disrespectful to urinate on any building, but especially the Alamo. Part of it is still a church not to mention that the entire site is a massive graveyard where the bodies of not only 185 Texians but also almost 600 Mexicans were burned or buried.

It's more a Texas memorial than a U.S. one since they were fighting for Texan independence. The entire place is a shrine to Texas liberty and is a military memorial. People that urinate on the Alamo are no different than if someone were to urinate on a memorial gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery.


Yes, you can refer to said people for what they are, animals

Don't worry about it, there are a lot of doubters and haters out there. They'll even go so far to tell you that accredited news sites are a hoax, like The Onion, or that people don't actually stuff cats into glass jars.

Never can trust people like that. I mean, everything we think is fact, why would they have cause to not believe? It's not rational I tell you.

Don't mess with Texas*

*=The Alamo is not Texas. It is a historically significant building.**

**=Also, feel free to mess with Rick Perry. That guy's an asshole.

yup, and I'll still say slavery was one of the primary reasons for the texan revolution. mexico's plans for the borderlands bit them in the ass when they gave american southerners land grants and then abolished slavery.
