Goblin Toppler Files Personal Injury Lawsuit Pryor to Incident

KUTV) One of the men infamously nicknamed the "goblin toppler," is forced to answer even more questions tonight.

You might remember the uproar created Thursday when video surfaced of three men, Glenn Taylor, his son Dylan and Dave Hall, pushing over a goblin sandstone rock formation in Goblin Valley State Park last Friday.

Taylor, the man who is seen actually shoving the rock to the ground, had filed a personal injury lawsuit against a woman and her father for injuries he says he suffered in a 2009 car crash. Taylor filed the lawsuit at the beginning of September saying that after that accident he injured his back and had to "endure great pain and suffering, disability, impairment, loss of joy of life." Taylor also says in the lawsuit that the accident was "debilitating."

Alan Macdonald says he was surprised when he saw the lawsuit come across his desk. He says his daughter rear-ended several cars during that accident, Taylor, he says, was one of them. Macdonald says no one went to the hospital after the crash.

...let's see, there's the charges for toppling the rock; and then there's the fact that he has demonstrated pretty conclusively -- on video, no less -- that he has no apparent back injury. Any debilitation he is suffering from, lies strictly between his ears.

Instant karma, gotta love it.

Cheering, hi-fives, feats of strength. What you COULDN'T see was the dark depths of pain and despair, the loss of joy in life, his awful suffering. He hides it well.

And I bet he's the first to complain about brown people being lazy cheats and welfare grifters. His excuse is he earned his benefits with hard work. You know, it is hard work finding a personal injury lawyer.

This is not forum for you to take out your issues with a particular religion.

For background, I'm an atheist so I don't really think much of religion. But I don't work my dislike for religion into my every post.
