melthebell Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 alternageek, I love you. Theft or vandalism from national parks is no joke. When I was a teenager, my sister knew of several people who actually went to jail for hacking up old growth redwood trees in Northern California to get the burl. It's no joke, if they catch you. These guys have made it easy. They're certainly not the sharpest tools in the shed, but they don't deserve jail. I would love to see a big, fat fine and they should be forced to do community service.

Sierra Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Is it just me or was anyone else watching that clip hoping he'd pull it down on top of himself, now that would have been justice. Not just you. I was hoping for a stray gust of wind. Justice does happen sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 This is not dissimilar to the toppling on "The Logan stone", a fifty ton rocking stone that used to sit atop Rowtor rocks in Birchover Derbyshire, though that took a rugby team to knock it from it's perch.

Sierra Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 .................. Well, the punishment should fit the crime. Or criminal? That doesn't work. I will never understand those who video themselves doing something illegal? WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think vandalism of national parks should be considered treason and they should be executed in the federal prison at Terre Haute, Indiana (where the federal execution chamber is).

RootsBooster Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 At first I thought it would be just a fat kid who accidentally leaned (leant?)/sat on a rock and tipped it over due to his weight. Now I've seen the video I realise the guy is just being a dick, deliberately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Dog Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 yay we can see the fatboy now tbh dude im not sure he sees old rocks the same way you do He's probably a creationist who thinks it has only been there for 6,500 years anyway, and that god made it for us to do with as we want. ---------- Post added 19-10-2013 at 20:08 ---------- In his defence the rock was pretty precariously balanced anyway and if one fat man managed to shove it over it would probably have toppled after a storm or two. but if he was in a national park in a protected are then you don't go doing stuff like that, so some kind of punishment is in order. There's every chance one of those stones of the Pyramids could fall off and kill someone - better knock them down. As for Stonehenge, have you seen how precarious that looks?
