A group of Boy Scouts leaders may face criminal charges after purposely knocking over an ancient Utah desert rock formation and posting a video of the incident online, authorities say
The men were leading a group of 14 to 16-year-old Boy Scouts on a trip to Goblin Valley State Park when they said they noticed the top of the rock formation was loose and feared it was dangerous.
"This is about saving lives," Dave Hall, who shot the video, told The Associated Press on Friday. "One rock at a time."

i have a rock i picked up at my home..
it is at least 1,254,556,982,666 billion years old..
if i split it open to see what is inside, will I have to go to prison????
We should expect reckless, idiotic, immoral behavior to be the new norm in the Rainbow Scouts.
Some effort has been made to bring it back. I would image that the loss was felt hard for the other attractions up there.

You picked it up at your home, so no.
But a State Park might be a different issue, some parks forbid people from taking out things like Indian arrowheads, etc.
Stick your kinetic energy up your butt with the same force and energy used to come up with the crap you just posted.
If you're looking for a Pulitzer, you've come to the wrong site dude.
I've never read such narcissistic and idiotic drivel such as yours in my entire life........
The rocks are still a creation of Christ Jesus I would think.
Take a troop of scouts into the Redwood National forest and cut down a couple of 300 footers just for giggles.........They're just friggin' trees......
As you very well know, or at least you should, this park has been designated as a park due to the unusual rock formations and that is why responsible people visit it and leave it untouched.
What the hell, here's another rock, lets let the scout leader drive his jeep up to this one and hook a chain around it and haul it down.........after all
It's just a friggin' rock
Am I breaking it down enough for you?
Why are you bringing abortion into this thread? This thread is about a national park so if you wish to discuss abortion, go start another thread on your own instead of trying to hijack this one.......
But to specifically answer your question, who exactly on this site is defending abortion anyway, especially on this NATIONAL PARK THREAD???????
Go start a pissing contest somewhere else.........sheesh!
Robert Baden-Powell would not never have sanctioned the employment of such men.
Really?
Does that mean that your own analysis shows that the man pushing the rock was in no danger whatever?
Yes, really!.....sheesh!
Why don't you add a little detail and describe what it was about the situation which would eliminate the possibility of the rock hurting the man pushing it?
Since myself and the rest of the folks on this thread are now ignoring you, why don't you go talk to your cat and try to impress it with your narcissistic meanderings about kinetics and such........
But then again, maybe your cat is tired of you too.........Meow!
I didn't start the abortion topic in this thread.
You belittled my analysis and now you claim to speak for everyone else on the thread? Did they help you refute my analysis? Perhaps you might ask one of them to justify your stance.
You seemed so adamant, that my analysis was mistaken, that I am surprised that you have failed to offer any specific argument as to why I am incorrect.
I’ve got about 2 months before my resignation (see tagline) and I agree with you.
I didn't start the abortion topic in this thread.
Sorry for my misposting bro, I was addressing my comment to the jackass that made these comments. Please accept my apology......
The day I'll start to care about a rock getting pushed over is the same day I expect abortionists to care about human life.
People get more excited and worked up about vandalism but yet these same people defend abortion.
I know you didn’t start the abortion topic, but the fool who made the above comments certainly did………He's the only one who brought up the topic of abortion.....That guy is the real “asshat”, wouldn’t you agree? So why don't you go complain to him? Oh wait...........LOL!
Read the following from the original poster;
"This is a State Park and chances are that if Utah totally regulated their own abortion laws, there may well be NO abortion in Utah."
Now how do you read that? Glad to know there's a few of you willing to fight for staying on topic when things don't shake out like you want them to...LOL
This KMA moment is brought to you by...
Perhaps you didn’t need my smart ass attitude but, heck, I wanted you to have it because I’m just that kind of guy. I like to share what I have. No thanks necessary. Your pissed-offedness is more than sufficient thanks for me.
