Yet a continuing episode of tourist stupidity. I posted the first warning and this is a follow up. I don't know about you but I don't feel immortal.

Leave them. And don’t go after any rescue if they end up in trouble.

Pyroclastic Flows, they’ve been determining who is smart and who is dead for millions of years...

Asses to Ashes.

If they’re to stupid, smart or liberal to listen let them eat Lava.

The world is full of idiots! Let nature thin the herd

Leave them. If they’ve been adequately warned, they should be left to die.

How can people be so stupid??? I can’t believe it. Your life is in danger if you don’t get the hell out of there, but they want to get a picture??? Risk lives for a picture???

If you’re using instagram that selfie could be all over the world just before the pyroclastic flow melts you into a goo. Your friends will be soooo jealous!

I was in a hotel once. I was leaving because there was a smoke and I figured there was a fire.

There were people banging on the elevator button to go up to their rooms. Over 100 people died in that hotel fire, some in the elevators. Maybe some of those who decided to ignore the smoke.

Don’t forget that if there is water or ice nearby a lahar can result.

Yep. My feelings exactly. When I was a young man, I was in charge of a storm proof building at a country fair. It was structurally safe, but the idiots would keep clustering around the windows thinking they could outrun a tornado. I would walk up and down continuously chasing them away only to find them clustering back around the windows as I returned from the other direction.

Finally, I figured out that I was a young father with two little girls (then) and wasn't being paid to risk my life for stupid people. So I gave up, went back to the office, locked myself in and periodically made announcements on the loud speaker which, while it had little effect, at least warned them.

Liberal responses:

(1) It's not fair! The evil conservative volcano targeted these tourists just because they were ________. (Fill in the blank.)

(2) This just goes to show that we need a new federal Department of Tourist Protection. It might cost billions, but if it saves only one life...
