    As my mom used to say, "this is why we can't have nice things".

    Start giving heavy penalties, and publicize photos, to try and send a message to others who might think vandalism is a good idea.

    This type of behavior is unacceptable two grown adolescent men....go destroy your own property.

    That man on the left should be giving thanks, all the way to jail, that he is not dead from falling. Any brain cells there? What an awful example they are to that child.
  • @mikilynne4558
    The degree of assholiness on display here is astonishing!
  • They appear to be great candidates for a rock breaking prison chain gang detail.

    Once on a float trip, we looked at some petroglyphs. Someone, apparently unable to distinguish archeology from graffiti, carved his initials next to them. Someone spotted it and radioed ahead. Rangers were waiting for BrainTrust at the dock. He earned himself a felony conviction, a large fine, and a permanent ban from national parks.

    some one, some where, just sat up and said "hey, isn't that..."

    People like this are the simplest of the simple minded. How can this be entertaining?
  • @3ch1dna07
    What is wrong with people in that they can't just go out into the world and be decent human beings? Why was this necessary to do? It's just stupid.

    So sad when you have grown men destroying nature in front of a child. What are they showing their children? IT'S NOT OK. This behavior unexceptiable
  • @Joe-no7gs
    Kid has more sense than those two "men" telling them to stop.
  • I lived there when I was 19 years old. Lake Mead is beautiful. Sickening. This made me cry. This makes me very mad. Also child endangerment. Poor child.

    Like the cutting down the tree at Sycamore Gap at Hadrian's Wall in the UK.
