Three men face potential felony charges after they filmed themselves turning over a rock formation in Utah's Goblin Valley State Park. They posted a video of the incident on Facebook, in which the rock is pushed off its pedestal, and the men high-five each other. The men are unnamed in the story, but are tagged on Facebook as Dave Hall, Glenn Taylor and Dylan Taylor. They talk about how they saved some child from potentially being hurt by the precariously-balanced rock. Utah state park officials say there will be consequences for their actions. A criminal investigation is underway. -via Viral Viral Videos
Wait, let me say that again, just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.
You want PEOPLE, to be jailed, over doing something to ROCKS?
What?
Sure, it's a bit childish, but, JAILING? Criminal Activity?
Shit, I better not move any sand while I'm walking in the desert! I might get charged with blood and murder!
Aron Ralston would approve.
It would be very difficult to fix that formation. Sure, you can put it back in place, but is it going to hold without help, like cement? What's the point, then?
As for the "these aren't men" comments, yes they are men. Emotionally stunted and immature? Maybe. Unable top appreciate real beauty without wanting to somehow leave their mark? Maybe.
Give them the highest fine possible under the law. Jail time would be silly. They won't learn.
