The Peruvian government is correct. It was premeditated and planned, which means someone at Greenpeace knows who did it. Turn them over and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

Peru is correct about one other thing. Trees can grow back, but archeological sites are one of a kind and once they are destroyed, can never be replaced.

You can’t judge them based upon the outcome of their actions! Their INTENTIONS were good. You must judge them based on their good intentions!

The video at the link actually shows these A**HATS doing it so some of them can be identified from that.

Throw the people who were caught into jail.

Offer them a significantly reduced sentence if the GreenPeace leaders to planned and ordered this identfy themselves and submit themselves for Pervian justice.

Let the Progressive rank and file see and learn that their own leadership will let them go under the bus once like the useful idiots/cannon fodder their leadership thinks they are.

But their message is SO IMPORTANT that we should all feel bad inside for forcing them to commit such a stupid act on a protected site...(sarc/)

Yes, it is internationally known. I agree that it holds significance for all mankind. I hesitate to call it an international landmark, because I believe that it is Peru’s alone. It is their heredity and national pride on the line here, as it should be IMO.

The United Nation’s efforts to designation “World Heritage Sites” is misguided IMO. The U. N. owns nothing. It’s a pretend entity from the word go. That’s why I key on this like I do.

Let the U. N. glom onto things like this, and pretty soon they’re dictating the rules. Screw the U. N.

Oh I wouldn’t be surprised. Someone is still paying their meal ticket too. You can bank on that.

It would seem that a sacrifice should be made. Perhaps their beating hearts should be cut out and offered to the gods as a small recompense for their sins... sarc/

As long as no bugs or lizards were injured they don’t care.

I do hope that Peru makes an example out of them to the maximum extent possible. The words "cruel and unusual" come to mind.

Otoh, I cannot think of a more appropriate statement of/by, and monument to, our times.

What says "We have very high self-esteem and even higher self-righteousness" better than bold graffiti superimposed upon the Nazca Lines?

Not just someone. There have been many closeups of the individuals doing the vandalism:

Fringe lunatic liberals once again act as if the “rules” don’t apply to them. Typical.

They could get eight years in prison.
Hope they enjoy their stay.

By what standard English definition is this ironic?

Greenpeace are vandals, vandals vandalize, Q.E.D.

Not ironic in the least.

Hit them where it hurts - in the wallet. The government of Peru should sue Greenpeace, and the individuals who did this personally, in U.S. courts and whatever other venues are appropriate. This would be in addition to any criminal penalties. I should think damages would be almost incalculable.
