Heard about this, amazed me the Scouts were involved. Not sure if I buy that the rock formation looked "loose", it was there for millions of years.

If the kid could dislodge the rock, it's possible that it would eventually dislodge itself...seems it moved when touched.

As dumb as it MAY seem....he may have done a good deed.

"What difference, at this point, does it make!?" The BSA now have Mr. Armstrong and Canteen Boy.

Yes, these rocks are cool. But they are simple sandstone, maybe a few thousand years old, and would eventually fall by themselves.

We need a little perspective on this. Notice how we kill over 3000 babies a day without blinking, but we’re getting all excited about some rocks. Time to shake ourselves and look around.

It was pushed over pretty easily.

I have been reading psyco liberal fascists saying they should be shot, jailed for 25 years, etc...

This outrage is more Earth worship from urbanites who use it to spew their hate.

It was a boulder sitting on a mound of dirt.

I saw the rock they moved- it was amazing that it stayed up there this long if it was able to be moved that easily

it did actually wiggle from not too hard of a push it really could have fallen and hurt someone

Good. I say proper punishment is for them to put it back like it was - hand-tools only.

Good. The idiots should be charged. Mind-boggling that “Scouts” would be responsible such an innately disrespectful and vandalous act, which thoroughly goes against their entire code. But then again, since the BSA caved like abject cowards to the deviant homo lobby, it’s not like I have much regard for the damned organization left.

I don’t think the attacks are because of the rock. I think they’re against the Boy Scouts. They’re attempt at destroying them with gay infiltration didn’t work as well as they anticipated.

Looks like it will be easy to put this big rock back where it was.

The adult speaking in the video sounds like a fairy.

How can there be charges — they said they did it for the children.

Regardless of how well meaning these men were, they defaced something they should never have touched. I don’t know if criminal charges are appropriate, but they should at least banned from state parks for a long time.

I would enjoy it if these scouts were attacked by giant ants, but that happened in New Mexico.

Who gives a flying s*** about pile of rocks.

"Oh but they're so pretty."

This type of idiotic sentimentalism is why we're allowing farmers and landowners property to be decimated protecting biologically obsolete animals and even PLANTS.

95% of the USS Constitution has been replaced. Very little of the original ship exists on the ship itself.

If visitors had determined the ship’s future based on their own fears, Old Ironsides would probably be at the bottom of Boston Harbor.

The proper thing for the BSA “leaders” to have done would’ve been to notify the state park of the danger (if any). At this point, we only have the word of the destructive scout leaders to go by.

To add to my post, I’ve hiked the trails in Utah. Took lots of photos of the hoodoos and such. This kind of vandalism and disrespect burns me up. The whole pathetic attitude and mindset it represents. Just like when some idiot poisons and kills a historic tree, or torches the governor’s mansion, here in Texas. Don’t dismiss it all as just some liberal, eco-freak kind of outrage.
