(3,709 posts)I watched this vid tonight when NBC news did a story on this. One of the jackasses said they destroyed the formation because it was dangerous, the rock could have fallen on a child. Moron... keep the kids away and notify a park ranger if you think there's danger of some kind. These bastards were just acting like a couple of fools.
They may, and should, face felony charges for defacing protected public land. I hope they throw the book at them.
In the midst of all these idiotic teabaggers, these bastards just pissed me off even more.

By Janelle Stecklein
A group of Boy Scout leaders is potentially facing felony charges for destroying a rock formation millions of years old in Emery County.
Goblin topplers claim to be getting death threats
Published October 18, 2013
The trio of men was adventuring in Goblin Valley State Park when they decided to film themselves knocking over one of the formations, known as "goblins."
They said later it appeared to them that it was ready to fall and might hurt someone.
In the video, posted on Facebook, one man can be seen leveraging himself against a nearby rock and pushing a formation over.

(41,831 posts)Excellent. Its more than mere vandalism, its almost like desecration...a million year old rock formation? Pushed over by a couple of good ol' boys. smh. I am surprised they didn't say, "here, hold my beer."

(18,219 posts)And the one thing that really sticks in my mind is when they said that the dumbest thing they did was record it and download it. Well, I have to agree that was pretty stupid, but the fact that they think this is the worst thing that they did goes to show how ignorant they are.
I hope that they are charged with a felony, and I hope that they get the full penalty possible.....mostly because they were fucking Boy Scout leaders.

(1,186 posts)I just want to thank these three patriots for striking the first blow in the impending war on teetering rocks that are threatening our kids. Pushing that rock over saved some "future kid" from being crushed.
They were just thinking of the children.

(14,691 posts)The exposure of a Chinese teenager who vandalised an Ancient Egyptian artwork has led to a wave of anger among China's internet users.
On Friday a microblogger posted a photo of graffiti at a Luxor temple complex saying: "Ding Jinhao was here."

(949 posts)1. Shameful act
2. Many rocks are easy 200 million years old. That is in itself not a big deal.
3. Being protected land, this is a big deal.
4. Seriously, the only solution to keeping kids safe was to move the rock? How about moving the kids? They have legs, you know.
icarusxat
(403 posts)filed a lawsuit for debilitating back pain before he toppled the rock. Should have filed for debilitating brainlessness, the video proves no back injury, just moronity...( I like to make up words, I am not teabagger stupid).
