2 visitors captured on video destroying ancient rock formations at Lake Mead
Two visitors at Lake Mead National Recreation Area were captured on video destroying ancient rock formations and park rangers are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspects.
Genuinely don't understand the troglodytes that do this shit
That's pretty rude to all the troglodytes who passed by that spot, thought some version of "That's a cool rock formation!" and went about their troglodytey day without knocking it over.
Ikr!
I feel similarly. My reactions were “Why?!?”, “Are you utter idiots?!” and “I hope that your hate and idiocy isn’t passed down through gene pools!”.
Edit: I agree with other posters that it’s demeaning to troglodytes for someone not a troglodyte to claim that these wastes of air and proteins are troglodytes.
Hahaha I’m with the lady at the end.
“They should’ve gone down with the rock”
The world can't have anything nice anymore, can it?
Respecting beauty requires empathy. COVID showed it's scarce.
I mean, humans have been doing this stuff for thousands of years.
But we do keep doing it.
These are the same people that throw their trash out their car windows and litter in public parks and parking lots.
Some people just had shitty parents and it shows. Unfortunately, they appear to be passing on those shitty parenting lessons to another generation.
Unfortunately Michael Caine said it best, "Some men just want to watch the world burn." I hope social media helps these rangers find those people.
As an Eagle Scout & leader in my Son's Boy Scout troop, an avid hiker, backpacker and general outdoor enthusiast... this is incredibly upsetting. This type of vandalism can't be undone. I hope they find them and throw a rock...I mean the book at them. Or both.
Part of the Scout Outdoor Code is "...to be considerate in the outdoors." which means treat the land and other land users with respect and follow the principles of outdoor ethics for all outdoor activities.
These are the people who leave their poop in the toilet without flushing
Those fucks. I hate them lol

The good news is that Earth will have the last laugh. These people will grow old and die in a fraction of a geologic blink. They'll be tossed down a hole or incinerated and then finally serve a purpose as their component elements are recycled. If any monument to their memory is erected, the rain will patiently grind it to dust until it too is fully consumed. That's assuming their grave stone (or similar marker of the fading stain they've left behind) isn't knocked down prematurely by unruly future passersby.
Straight from Lord of the Flies.
Ok are we just going to pretend the picture in the thumbnail doesn't look like a veiny dick?
Didn't the government destroy a lot of ancient formations with various nuclear tests in the last century?
"visitors", huh?
...guess it falls in line with the "settlers" carrying out a genocide in Gaza, or the "protesters" who carried out an insurrection here in the US, etc.
Why is so hard for journalist to just call shit what it is?
Edit- well this rubbed folks the wrong way. Just in case my intent came off wrong:
visitors--> vandalssettlers--> invadersprotesters--> domestic terrorists...or are we getting brigaded by MAGAts?
Just taking a stab here, but journalists can be sued for libel. While we interpret these people in this way, a court of law needs to make it official or someone can take you to court.
Journalism is still a business and a point of authoritative information.
If you go somewhere for a short period of time, as opposed to live there, you're a visitor.
If you vandalize it while you're there, you're a visitor who is also a vandal.
I am assuming these two do not live at Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
