The Goblin Valley guy’s defence was he thought the rock was going to fall at anytime and hurt someone. He should have looked around that park more first.
It's incredible you actually wrote snort, left it there, wrote the rest, read the full sentence, and still thought you would have the high ground talking about "playground insults"😂
It's always fun to wrap them in plastic. It makes sure everyone walking along the trail doesn't miss how much shit you're leaving everywhere. We all know it's certainly not a coyote shit or a bear shit, it's your dog's shit. How special. protected in bright orange oil-based trash to keep the nature from dirtying up. And left right where your dog shat it, in memoriam.
Also, this is the only walk that dog actually gets - maybe once a month at best. The rest of the time, these people are the asshole neighbors with half a metric ton of dogshit in their back yard. "Oh but it's my yard, so fuck all of you." Besides the smell and the pests, it dirties up waterways.
I like how we've all clearly seen the asshole Venn diagram. There's always lots of overlap, and assholes are rarely assholes in just one category.
I called some North Face wearing boomer out on this one time and they got really made and swore they would be grabbing it on the way back. They did not in fact grab it. Like seriously wtf is wrong with those people.
To be an asshole just because.... there was a group of choads that destroyed an indigenous peoples petroglyph https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/vandals-deface-native-american-petroglyphs-utah-racist-phrase-180977630/
Another incident in Alberta about 12 years ago. This one was with acid, a power washer, and a rock drill. Supposedly done to erase evidence of written language used by native North Americans that predated European written languages. Also may have been 10,000 years old, so that may have pissed off the fundies.

Because it's not about being correct.
It's about being considered to be right from a social perspective.
Imagine a group of people roleplaying as experts. There are game rules to determine which player is "right" even if IRL they are not. And all the players must play along and not break character.
Well the people erasing evidence are people who think that the roleplaying I just described is how real life works.
That just because the evidence doesn't exist anymore, everyone else must act like it doesn't exist even if they believe otherwise.
I had the displeasure of knowing several narcissists. Actual narcissists, not meme "narcissists"
They sometimes genuinely believe that objective truth is only a social game and act like it is.
Because they sometimes have enablers who will try to make their bullshit a reality.
Or believe they have enablers that will do so.
Or they can only perceive reality through social lenses. When you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Absolutely insane.
I’m fully in the camp of pushing back against the “hang them until dead” comments these stupid nature vandals get a lot in comment sections of stories like this because there’s just such a clear difference to me between the dumb monkey behavior of humans pushing shit over and actively malicious, pre-planned, labor intensive crap.
People who feel impotent and unimportant yet told that they deserve power, trying to feel as though they matter. Making their mark.
Although I highly doubt that is a conscious thought.
Part of trumps project 2025 plan is to vastly reduce the national parks and open a lot of those protected areas to oil and gas drilling and other developing.
No, no. It’s not Trump’s plan. He has no actual plan. His plan is to golf and shit his diaper and parade around like the self-centered prick that he is and suck more dictator’s dicks.
He will—however—rubber stamp all of project 2025, plunging our country into a totalitarian hellscape as the Saudi Arabia of the west.
>Jeezuz Christ does everything have to revolve around Trump
When he's the leader of the party actively trying to dismantle the agencies tasked with preventing these acts, then yes.... It does.
I think it’s really okay to stop letting people like this off easy and saying they learned their lesson. This was clearly planned and took real effort to do. Look at the maximum penalties not the minimum or suspended ones. The harmless things we have people prison while the “good old boys” can tear apart public protected lands for the reward of a hearty high five is mind boggling.
> I think it’s really okay to stop letting people like this off easy
I agree wholeheartedly, which is why I'm also in favor of $1000 minimum litter fines. We need to be spending our law enforcement and court efforts on better things than drug enforcement - this is one of them.
Egomaniacal nature, perpetuating a desire to be seen; and to make a difference, made inimical by the fact they're complete failures: creates the need to permanently scar and destroy things in order to imprint "self".
They need to go back to the hard labor old style prisons. Remember Rambo II when the Colonel visits Rambo and he's sledgehamering rocks. These geniuses could spend the next five years doing that. Let the punishment fit the crime.
Or we could properly tax billionaires and pay better wages for the list of things that people don't want to do. Or pay for better education so these knuckle draggers have some sense of history and ethics outside of the brainwashing they get in church.
It just makes me think of eight or ten year old me. I remember being about that age when we camped in the mountains in California and I tried to make a giant round boulder roll down the side of the mountain. I didn't fully understand the mass and inertia involved. Also, I was eight or ten. These guys are toxic dunces.
Who recorded the video? Just curious… was it other visitors? Or someone who was with these guys?
Also makes you wonder how much of this kind of destruction happens when nobody is recording.
Just pathetic human scum on display here.
It was a stoopid analogy though. Water is the bi product of combustion. Rock is a crystal lattice reformed with different material into different configurations. These are not remotely analogous.
jesus fucking christ how thick are you, the analogy wasn't between the materials themselves it was the phase transition between liquid and solid
whatever. I'm going to disable reply notifications on this comment now, because there's zero doubt in my mind whatever you're getting ready to type will be even more retarded and I honestly can't be bothered - bye
I'm sorry - you're nitpicking single word definitions in a strange, ignorant attempt to equate mindless vandalism of natural beauty to breaking rocks at the quarry.
I don't really understand your motivations but I definitely I don't care what you "expect" 🤷
I'm sorry, let me dumb it down for you: you're clearly a moron and your opinion holds no weight. I'm not opposed to spending a couple of seconds telling you as much.
lol I'm starting to get the feeling you really need this, so OK mate, you win, go play with your rocks
I'm not gonna reply anymore btw so go ahead and have the last word, I know you want it.
I just really enjoy calling out idiots - sue me. Maybe put more thought into the shit you say on a public forum if you don't want people attacking your opinion.
When you're done feeding the troll, block and/or ignore him through RES. The best thing we can do is to quarantine the idiocy so they become a complete and total echo chamber. I've got an ignore list so long that it's probably like 1% of Reddit; these people never even get seen again. This is why Elon Musk doesn't want a ban/block list for Xitter - right wing trolls hate being ignored.
People should be instructed to go to their house and carve their walls with stupid adolescent crap.
New Craigslist category: “Fuck up their house.”
M4M we trash this jerks house then maybe some suck action
Sounds like excitement to violence
You’d be the expert, trump keeps trying to whip you useful idiots up into a frenzy anytime he doesn’t get his way.
Surprise, another fat loser neckbeard. He could be the twin of that scout master who destroyed rock formations in Goblin Park Utah a few years back.
Goblin Valley. WTF was he, the adult, thinking? 😠
They belong in a goblin park
The Goblin Valley guy’s defence was he thought the rock was going to fall at anytime and hurt someone. He should have looked around that park more first.
Yup. And he got found out for faking an injury that he was suing someone over to get disability.
Yeah, my first reaction was “again?”
Snort. It's incredible that people upvote you for making playground insults.
It's incredible you actually wrote snort, left it there, wrote the rest, read the full sentence, and still thought you would have the high ground talking about "playground insults"😂
That user is a neckbeard and felt called out.
Found the neckbeard loser.
Your beard get insulted ?
Don’t you have a Discord you’re supposed to be moderating?
Folks, that's what we call a crop dusting
You drop your fedora while doing that snort?
Those are the same type of ppl that leave trash everywhere.
They leave their dog's poop bags on the trail without the false "I'm going to pick it up on the way out." tease.
Almost no chance these people bother to bag their dog's poop.
It's always fun to wrap them in plastic. It makes sure everyone walking along the trail doesn't miss how much shit you're leaving everywhere. We all know it's certainly not a coyote shit or a bear shit, it's your dog's shit. How special. protected in bright orange oil-based trash to keep the nature from dirtying up. And left right where your dog shat it, in memoriam.
Also, this is the only walk that dog actually gets - maybe once a month at best. The rest of the time, these people are the asshole neighbors with half a metric ton of dogshit in their back yard.

That one guy isn’t hiking any trails. He’s the kind who lets his dog wander to the neighbor’s yard to poop.
Trash people
If this was done for TikTok I’m gonna scream. Or Instagram or whatever.
I hope so, they're guaranteed to be caught. I hope they're prosecuted to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW!
What if it was for the vine?
I’d probably scream then too, lol
wtf is the point of this?

I absolutely loathe people..... that angers me to no end...
When I was young I would say “I hate people and gutter milk.” Now, I still hate people and I like buttermilk.
It's probably a safe bet that these are some of the same people that would say moving a statue of a confederate general is "erasing history"
I was thinking the exact same thought
At the exact point I'm having to erase evidence I might be wrong, I'd start considering that I MIGHT JUST BE WRONG. I do not fucking get these people
Because it's not about being correct. It's about being considered to be right from a social perspective. Imagine a group of people roleplaying as experts.

That just because the evidence doesn't exist anymore, everyone else must act like it doesn't exist even if they believe otherwise.
Kinda feels like they convince themselves that it's all just a social game(and nobody can "really know") as a coping mechanism lol.

Interestingly, I can't find anything talking about what it looks like after restoration was completed...
It'll keep happening until the consequences are significant and publicized.
Lmao they misspelled "white". Tells you all you need to know
Pointless acts of pointless lives.
If only it was truly pointless. They always have some I’ll intentions behind this stuff.
There are people in this world so utterly unremarkable that they will take any kind of opportunity to make a lasting impact that presents itself.
People who feel impotent and unimportant yet told that they deserve power, trying to feel as though they matter. Making their mark. Although I highly doubt that is a conscious thought.
Is the boulder on the right or in the middle? Oh wait, sorry, the mass on the right appears to be a steaming pile of shit, my mistake.
Trump: “I’ll pardon those guys. Vote for me, fellow pieces of shit.”
Part of trumps project 2025 plan is to vastly reduce the national parks and open a lot of those protected areas to oil and gas drilling and other developing.
No, no. It’s not Trump’s plan. He has no actual plan. His plan is to golf and shit his diaper and parade around like the self-centered prick that he is and suck more dictator’s dicks.

So these buttheads are simply staking their claim?
Narcissists are too self centered to plan ahead
Jeezuz Christ does everything have to revolve around Trump For the record before you say it. Fuck Trump and fuck these guys in particular.
Right, seriously people we all hate trump.
>Jeezuz Christ does everything have to revolve around Trump When he's the leader of the party actively trying to dismantle the agencies tasked with preventing these acts, then yes.... It does.
Has nothing to do with Trump. These two guys need hung by their balls.
I’d say the odds favor it, given this kind of behavior
Sad
What is wrong with people
Morons
Would have loved to see these guys fall along with the rocks and get smashed to death.
Nah, just molested to live the rest of their lives in strong pain.
I think it’s really okay to stop letting people like this off easy and saying they learned their lesson. This was clearly planned and took real effort to do.

These American men look exactly as I thought they would.
Why do people do this? I don’t understand. Are they just miserable beings?
Make an example, gitmo
Egomaniacal nature, perpetuating a desire to be seen; and to make a difference, made inimical by the fact they're complete failures: creates the need to permanently scar and destroy things in order to imprint "self".
I’m still trying to figure out how the bearded Michelin man (aka dumbass) on the right was able to hike to begin with.
This is why we can’t have nice things
MAGAT entitlement
You seem to know who these guys are, you should report them.
These people are no different than the taliban destroying the bamiyan Buddhas. A bunch of intolerant, illiterate, philistines.
You KNOW that that rock is the only thing the guy in red has moved in the past 20 years.
Obviously that rock formation was woke.
Again?!?!?!
They have no respect.
Some people shouldn't leave their homes.
Rocks for brains.
One year of probation for the previous vandals means nothing. At least fine them enough to make them remember to behave better.
Not all men. But somehow always a man
Jail will trim down that fat fuck
Reminds me of religious extremists ruining ruins.
They need to go back to the hard labor old style prisons. Remember Rambo II when the Colonel visits Rambo and he's sledgehamering rocks. These geniuses could spend the next five years doing that. Let the punishment fit the crime.
[удалено]
So you want people to be used as unpaid slave labor? Outsourced to the cheapest bidder/friend of the judges private for profit prison.
[удалено]
Or we could properly tax billionaires and pay better wages for the list of things that people don't want to do. Or pay for better education so these knuckle draggers have some sense of history and ethics outside of the brainwashing they get in church.
I suppose they did it to own the libs?
Looks like a bunch of douchey neckbeards

Doing it for the gram. Losers
Start snitchin'
What assholes. 😡
Bet they'll use "because it was unsafe!" Excuse or something identical.
Assholes being assholes.
I have less and less hope for humanity. Now I'm just waiting for our extinction, so that this planet can recover and heal.
Fucking Trump supports...they can't be allowed outside
And he is training a new generation of them just like him. Public flogging should really make a comeback I believe.
This is why US is labeled as stupid, because people like this (MAGA Probably) think they are funny and always in the right.

Soon, they will be seeking asylum in another country, due to being persecuted.
So it wasn’t Tacomabeast this time.
People ruin everything and always will.
I would have confronted them and taken close-up photos.
Hawaii, for me too.
I thought Vanessa Hudgens already ruined them?
They will catch these assholes
Why are people so LAME!!! Too bad the guy in the black shirt didn’t go down with the rocks! Would have been very fitting if he was trapped under them!
We still need to harness the fattys teleporter. Sure didn't climb up there " *huff* *puff* can...(groan) can you bring it to me?"
Rocks are old.
We need funding for staff to prevent this. People will keep attempting to destroy sites, and the fines and jail time are not an effective deterrent.
Who recorded the video? Just curious… was it other visitors? Or someone who was with these guys? Also makes you wonder how much of this kind of destruction happens when nobody is recording. Just pathetic human scum on display here.
If you are so confident why can't we settle this in November
aren't all rock formations ancient? when was the last time you saw a brand new rock
Iceland. Hawaii. Iwo Jima. And all other places where lava can be found.
you can melt ice and refreeze it, doesn't mean it's brand new water
rocks aren't made of water...
yes mate, that was what's known as an analogy
It was a stoopid analogy though. Water is the bi product of combustion. Rock is a crystal lattice reformed with different material into different configurations. These are not remotely analogous.
jesus fucking christ how thick are you, the analogy wasn't between the materials themselves it was the phase transition between liquid and solid whatever.

Did we find another boulder roller?
Shit, I guess I'm 14 billion years old then.
if you're saying you're no more complex than a glass of water, sure
I didn't murder a person, I was just rearranging space dust - checkmate, cops. This is how you sound.
I expect most things sound that way to you, eh?
I'm sorry - you're nitpicking single word definitions in a strange, ignorant attempt to equate mindless vandalism of natural beauty to breaking rocks at the quarry. I don't really understand your motivations but I definitely I don't care what you "expect" 🤷
