It wasn't a kid, it was a 200+ lb. man who had to put all his force into pushing it down.....That rock wasn't about to fall anytime soon.
Give us a run down on how much "rock" a person is allowed to disturb in a state park without going to prison.
The mere act of walking on the ground disturbs small rocks. Is that a misdemeanor? How much rock must move and how far in order to charge a person with a felony?
Does the fact that no machine was used change anything?
I recall a case of a woman who was crushed in her car when a several ton rock fell onto a highway in the Tahoe Valley. I'm sure she would have preferred that a group of Boy Scouts had safely dislodged the rock prior to getting killed by it.
How many such rocks exist in the park in question? How many fall without any human aid each year? Is that an allowable consideration or must we criminalize any human "interference" in the workings of the world regardless of its actual consequences?
Had a bear knocked over this rock, would the bear be destroyed for its criminal act? Why is it that human actions are so seldom treated as unintentional and natural?
Let’s be real....Stop the rock worshipping. They’re friggin’ rocks...no more...
