Misdemeanor?????

Look at the ear lobes on the long-haired guy.

[Vaquero]

God!!!

just kill them now, why waste taxpayer dollars on prison space/time for Leopold and (ear)Lobe here..

the men had posted comments on Facebook.

Thank goodness for stupidity. What's up with elf-boy's ears?

[PalmettoMason]

WTH is up with that first guy’s ears?

[Abathar]

His cellmate will have a great time holding on to those grip holes in his ears.

It’s those stupid discs that are all the rage among brain-dead idiots like the one pictured - I see them in the high schools all the time, the kids are supposed to graduate to larger and larger discs until their ear lobes are completely stretched out. Unbelievably popular right now.

With that said, I could hardly stand to read this story —I thought maybe it was marijuana growers in the national parks trying to protect their stash, not idiots who think maiming or killing someone is the height of hilarity.

I walk on trails like that all the time with my dogs.

Time to arm myself and be extra careful.

Ears have holes to put hardware in them. Ace is the place!

Why do I suspect anti-human, pristine parks environmentalism at work here?

Ran into a group of six guys who all looked like those two on the Red Pine Lake trail in the SLC, Utah area. They looked like they were about to start something, but we had a fairly large group and they just stared at us as we walked by. I thought something was going to break out any second, but for some reason it didn't. I went out the next day, bought a 9mm and took a CCW class!

They do/ did this in Borneo — plates-in-lips, larger and larger, until the lip is totally stretched out. NOT in sophisticated urban areas, needless to say.

“just kill them now, why waste taxpayer dollars on prison space/time for Leopold and (ear)Lobe here..”

Agreed. We are overpopulated in this country alone and let’s start with the liberals, so they may join their beloved Mother Gaia as fertilizer.

Misdemeanor?????

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I'm more of the 2 accounts of Attempted Manslaughter. This should easily rise to the level of a Felony.

Bluntly, it's nothing short of terrorism.

[HereInTheHeartland]

I would guess Earth First types

Probably because that is what it is.

Spock is that you? Yes Jim.

While on your vacation, remember how much you’re loved by the locals in the West. ;-)

I was thinking that myself. The guy with the elongated ear lobes looks like an enviro wack-job.

I hike 5-10 miles a week and have for about twenty years. I used to carry in case I ran into dangerous critters but it’s people I’ve run into that cause me to be glad I’m armed. Once about three miles into a five mile lloop trail I and a buddy encountered a guy in street shoes who looked like he had slept in his clothes for a few days. He made brief eye contact and looked us over but I guess he decided two guys each over six feet tall and 200 lbs might be more than he could handle.
