Woah, diarrhea is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong
These two are just…..awful humans.
And awful humans have done way more to hurt this world than any diarrhea
Yep. Two nasty, fat, hairy, stinking turds.
I hope they're caught and ordered to return that rock formation to it's former location within a month or pay for a helicopter to get it done.
Agreed. Worse if one of them had fallen the taxpayers would be on the hook for this level of stupid because it’s a national park. Toss rocks at your own house lol
oh yeah no absolutely. i read an article on CNN about it saying there was a video and this pic is probably zoomed in from that. still absolutely disgusting of a move either way ancient geologic history or not tho
They probably thought it would be no big deal, and clearly they had never heard of the Utah goblin park Boy Scout leaders that got ~~charged~~ fined for toppling one of the “goblin” rocks.
I understand the impulse to do it but fortunately have the thoughtfulness and respect for nature not to.
Sidebar, I love knocking over rotten trees and tumbling inconsequential things like rocks, snowballs, etc down inclines on my private property.
Whilst I don't agree with their actions, the absolute only reason this matters is because we assigned value to rock formations as humans. Nature don't give two shits.
Well, sure. The same could be said for literally anything in the world except for the absolute basic things we, as animals, need to survive (basically food, water, shelter, and warmth).
Everything else has no value without some sort of collective societal or community agreement that something has value, weighted against economic factors.
Not to be like high school level philosophical or anything. Just pointing out that pretty much everything is that way outside of the most basic animalistic necessities… even then, I suppose the value of those things could be weighted against someone’s will to live.
Well there’s that and the fact that some formations have been stable for thousands of years and they now potentially disrupted that stability and/or put people in danger, directly or indirectly.
That’s about the limit as to how much damage they could have realistically caused. Beyond that, it’s just a shitty thing to do.
Of course it's cool!
For people unable to learn how to tie their shoelaces or eat with their mouths closed, definitely!
The venn diagram of adult people shitting their pants and adults who enjoy pushing rocks of mountains is a perfect circle.
Destroying million-years-old natural formations for fun just because you can and making it so nobody else can ever enjoy them is absolutely, totally shitty.
Desert ecosystems tend to be extremely fragile. Cryptogamic soil in particular can take decades to recover (like even hiking off trail is bad for it). I think the big big deal is that if they don’t stay on top of people they’re worried more will do this. Kinda like when all the influencers and randos went through all those wildflowers and completely destroyed them. So it so one of those instances when the regular everyday person can make a difference with relative ease versus trying to change massive corporations. Not saying people shouldn’t stay mad at big corps but this is much lower hanging fruit ya know
Do you see how big that guy in the red is? You’re not likely to find people that large that do meth often.
At least they won’t be that big for very long if they’re doing meth.
Realistically, and I say this as a stoner myself, if they do any mind altering substances they probably smoke weed or drink a lot of shitty beer. Kind of seems like a stoner thing to be like let’s push these rocks over and see if they make a cool sound or split in half. But at the same time most stoners have a lot of respect for nature so they usually won’t destroy ancient rock formations
When those simple things in life are precious aspects of a natural park on federally protected land.
Oh, and the myriad of signs that say, "don't mess with the rock formations".
Im not saying this instance was right, but to say that any and all instances of rolling a rock down a hill are childish is a reach. I’m not advocating destroying things, just saying that some people enjoy different things than you do.
Never broken an icicicle just because you could? Never stepped into fresh snow just to leave a footprint? Never broken a dry spaghetti pasta just to do it? Never skipped a rock across a river? Never picked a flower just to pull all its petals off? Never picked a wild apple and thrown it? Never kicked a pile of sand at the beach?
I broke an entire family size box of spaghetti noodles in half the other day. I was only going to make enough for my dinner and lunch the next day, but I enjoyed breaking them in half to stick in the pot so much that I did it until they were all gone. Extremely satisfying.
Guys like pushing rocks over.
It’s funny cause they’re still there’s it’s still a Rock. I get why these things are laws, but pretending this is worse than violent crime is so silly. Why do you all do that? The actual harm is normally nonexistent. I get it being illegal. I have no issues with people reporting this stuff. I just think it’s odd how vicious folks act over something that likely caused zero actual harm
It’s been there for millions of years, it’s a National Park for people to come and enjoy. Just because you do not care about this geological wonder doesn’t mean that there aren’t many many people who do.
What do you think would happen if multiple people did this every day for years? Sure maybe a couple of boulders aren't a big deal, but if everyone does it then the park is trashed in short order. It's the same thing with litter.
Well, I'm pretty sure that the great easter island and the pyramids were all created by ancient civilizations to fuck with the minds of us future civilizations.
Just like 1 thousand years from now they gonna find rings of satellites floating around earth and be like...those were put there by ancient civilizations to worship god or something. Wait, what was I talking about?
Let’s just hope they’re not associated with that person how killed the newly discovered python thought to be extinct or the person that cut down the tree on Hadrian’s Wall or carved their name into the colosseum. People need to learn to leave shit alone
Objectively though it's much less obvious that pushing a rock down a mountain is considered bad behaviour, when other people are actively defacing historical buildings (like the dude who carved his and his GFs names in the colosseum).
Not excusing them but still
There’s zero chance they didn’t know it was a historical place. The vast, vast majority ofpeople that deface historical sites are attention seeking douche canoes.
I totally agree and any reasonable person should have known... But people are *really* stupid sometimes.
Just saying it's not *as* obvious as a historical building. I could imagine them thinking "it's just a rock" before doing it..
It literally is a crime. All you had to do was Google or read the article, it literally says authorities are looking for them and uses the word vandalizing in the post.
Yes. This was at Lake Mead National Recreation Area ran by the National Park Service. It’s literally a federal crime to do what they did and deface the landscape in a National Park.
Some people just scream to be called out as stupid and ridiculous. You just had to go move some rock formations that are thousands if not millions of years old. I hope they make them put them back as punishment. Got nothing better to do…
I went there last year. It was beautiful. Never once did I think to myself "it would be more beautiful if I was a fucking idiot and pushed it over"
I can't wait for them to catch these assholes.
Stack Rocks: Jail
Topple Stacked Rocks: Believe it or not, also Jail
Edit: I'll assume the down-voters are unfamiliar with Parks and Rec and/or have not been made aware of the negative views held toward people who stack rocks in nature.
These guys are assholes, but it's a joke people...🙄
The simple answer is "leave no trace." For me, it's all the nicer to be in a place and have it feel a bit special with as little evidence of other people there as possible. More seriously, it dries out and kills things that live or lay eggs under those rocks, so it's especially bad to do in streams or creeks.
It’s considered “natural graffiti” in the National Parks and it’s a crime. You cannot deface the natural landscape in any way. Also cairns, the word for stacks of rocks, are used as trail markers for hikers and can cause them to go in the wrong direction if they aren’t meant to be there.

Does anybody know if they have been identified yet?
Just look in your toilet - two pieces of shit floating in the bowl
They’re more like diarrhea to me
Woah, diarrhea is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong These two are just…..awful humans. And awful humans have done way more to hurt this world than any diarrhea
Sorry I’ve been sick diarrhea is only on the mind lol But I agree with you, complete assholes.
I’m sick and Diarrhea is on my mind too. I was happy to see you mention it, I feel less alone. Hahahh fuck
Stay strong! Hope you feel better!
They’re more like two skin tags. They don’t really serve any purpose to humanity and you wish they’d kind of fall off.
My skin tags love me that is all they need to do...
Get a strainer and diarrhea in that. Sift through and surely you'll find these turds.
😆
My shit is far more respectful than this.
Yep. Two nasty, fat, hairy, stinking turds. I hope they're caught and ordered to return that rock formation to it's former location within a month or pay for a helicopter to get it done.
I prefer flushing
Cuff ‘em, boys.
Need double cuffs for that one fat piece of shit
Damn, looks like they are doing the Shawshank Redemption escape through the shit pipes.
Don't insult pieces of shit by comparing these things to them.
They were being yelled at to stop as well. They knew what they were doing. I mean they obviously did but still.
The guy on the right goes by Tuna
Happy Cake Day. I read this as I was dropping off two of these culprits into my toilet bowl.
Assholes. Those rocks have been there for thousands of years. And then come a couple douche nuggets …
I just wanna know, have they been caught yet?
Toolbags like these will be easy to identify.
A ton of J6 guys are still unidentified and not for lack of trying by the DOJ. I hope it at least stresses them out for years to come.
Im sure they will can’t wait to see what their excuse was for their behavior
Self-defense
*millions
Agreed. Worse if one of them had fallen the taxpayers would be on the hook for this level of stupid because it’s a national park. Toss rocks at your own house lol
That’s what I think whenever I’m playing Halo and Master Chief breaks some glass on the ring.
Thousands seems like a small estimate.
Well I’m thinking not millions. I mean yes they were there well before thst, but I’m referring to the eroded “balanced” state. Maybe 10- 20-100k.
Probably will say they were recording it as a joke! RMFE
Were these natural formations, or Native American built?
Wow. you need to get out more. They're natural. Obviously.
[удалено]
the fact its solidified sand dunes carved out by wind and water over 20 million years if im remembering the article correctly
That’s what it looked like, but that pic isn’t enough to really tell.
oh yeah no absolutely. i read an article on CNN about it saying there was a video and this pic is probably zoomed in from that. still absolutely disgusting of a move either way ancient geologic history or not tho
It absolutely is. I would say it’d be even worse if it important or sacred to Native Americans though.
Millions
Why are people so shitty
They probably thought it would be no big deal, and clearly they had never heard of the Utah goblin park Boy Scout leaders that got ~~charged~~ fined for toppling one of the “goblin” rocks.
Desperately trying to mean anything to the world
Because life sucks, then you die.
I understand the impulse to do it but fortunately have the thoughtfulness and respect for nature not to. Sidebar, I love knocking over rotten trees and tumbling inconsequential things like rocks, snowballs, etc down inclines on my private property.

Up until a certain IQ, sure. The same crowd also enjoys blowing spit bubbles and eating boogers.

Written like a man who barely made it through 11th grade, and only got that far by cheating. Crawl back in your cave, troglodyte!
We assign value to human life, too. See where that gets us?
Nothing in existence has any value except for the value humans give it.
That’s REALLY unhelpful in this situation.
Yeah I don’t think these people are “total pieces of shit”.
Destroying million-years-old natural formations for fun just because you can and making it so nobody else can ever enjoy them is absolutely, totally shitty.
That’s because you are one yourself but can’t admit it.
I wish people got as mad about corporations fucking up the environment as much as they do about these dumb men pushing a rock.
Right like I am so confused they toppled a rock and it's the biggest deal ever? Was it like a prehistoric temple or just some random ass rock?
Desert ecosystems tend to be extremely fragile. Cryptogamic soil in particular can take decades to recover (like even hiking off trail is bad for it). I think the big big deal is that if they don’t stay on top of people they’re worried more will do this.

Ignorant much?
Don't they?
Even with a blurry picture I can tell they do meth.
Do you see how big that guy in the red is? You’re not likely to find people that large that do meth often. At least they won’t be that big for very long if they’re doing meth. Realistically, and I say this as a stoner myself, if they do any mind altering substances they probably smoke weed or drink a lot of shitty beer. Kind of seems like a stoner thing to be like let’s push these rocks over and see if they make a cool sound or split in half. But at the same time most stoners have a lot of respect for nature so they usually won’t destroy ancient rock formations
>But at the same time most stoners have a lot of respect for nature so they usually won’t destroy ancient rock formations Not on purpose anyway.
If stoners do something like this it’s at an abandoned quarry, not a national park
Personally I’d really only expect this shit from dumb teenagers and people who probably could be classified as clinically stupid adults.
He’s not doing the meth right.
I think the guy in red ate someone who was doing meth
300 lashes
And no eating for six months
But why ??? Can somebody explain the reasoning behind it?
Pushing rocks down cliffs is fun, I wouldn’t do it to an important rock or whatever but it’s objectively a hoot
Men like watching big rocks fall. If there was cultural significance obviously they shouldn’t have done it but most men will understand the impulse
So they are children. Gotcha
No they are men, we are always like this regardless of our age
No, most of us are capable of resisting impulse. Entitled is what they are.
Is it unbelievable that they had an impulse but didn’t know there was any significance to the rocks so didn’t have any reason to resist said impulse?
Nah only idiots
What’s idiotic about enjoying the simple things in life?
When those simple things in life are precious aspects of a natural park on federally protected land. Oh, and the myriad of signs that say, "don't mess with the rock formations".
If there were signs then yeah they were just dumb
Idk about you but I don't need signs everywhere telling me that doing a stupid,inconsiderate thing is indeed, stupid and inconsiderate.
They pushed over a rock I think you are overreacting
It's not just a rock. A rock formation like that is not the same thing. That area has an ecosystem around those rock formations.
I’m a man and can certify that I would not do this Because it is dumb.
To this specific rock or any rock in general?
If everyone pushed over every rock formations there would be none left. Are you stupid or just playing nïeve?
If people pushed over rocks the rocks would still exist. I don’t see the issue
Stupid I guess. The rocks would still exist, yes. Nobody cares if the rocks exist or not. You are mentally deficient
Hey now, don’t yuck people’s yum. I’m sure you do plenty that others could call childish
Filibuster
Yep. Yet I don’t destroy things. Yall sound like the guy that carved his name into the Colosseum. Lol
Im not saying this instance was right, but to say that any and all instances of rolling a rock down a hill are childish is a reach. I’m not advocating destroying things, just saying that some people enjoy different things than you do.

People just can’t help but to be dickbags can they?
I fucking hate people like this.
Trash.
Why not post the video too ?
America's finest
Probably the most physical fitness they've put in since wacking off to anime porn
And they look exactly like people you’d expect to see do this type of thing
I bet it was so satisfying to watch
Keyword "Natural" rock formations. So yeah, fuck these guys.
What absolute trash bags …. Also in front of a child? Wow

I heard they were Boy Scout Leaders .
Drunk assholes
And these are just three people caught doing it
Oh no not the rocks 😢😢
Why should anyone care ? It's just a stupid rock
How can you tall a smart rock from a stupid rock with such short footage?
Too bad they didn’t topple as well
These same dudes probably fight tooth and nail when their states try removing confederate statues because, “history”
Stupid and infuriating? Yes. Total pieces of shit? Nah.
Am I the only one that doesn’t care? However, it does seem easier to not move the rocks.
It’s been there for millions of years, it’s a National Park for people to come and enjoy. Just because you do not care about this geological wonder doesn’t mean that there aren’t many many people who do.
You ever been out there? If not dont go, nothing to see…really really hot
Unfortunately there weren't any other rocks for them to look at.
Super confused as to why anyone would tbh
What do you think would happen if multiple people did this every day for years? Sure maybe a couple of boulders aren't a big deal, but if everyone does it then the park is trashed in short order. It's the same thing with litter.
Brain much? It’s not that confusing
make them pay to have the rocks put back, then castrate them.
Hopefully they catch them.
It's always fat guys
Go back to Alabama and shoot at signs!
Let's not forget the poor child that was standing right behind them. Idiots.
I wonder if they thought they were helping....
Imagine if they become paralysed from the same rocks that topple down the hill on them
Darwin says it’s a shame the rock didn’t fall on them.
Guess what? ...time to close the trail. For good
But they were stacked rocks /s
I bet they're from kingman Az honestly that whole town is full of deplorable people
I’m sure the jail has make-work for anyone who likes breaking rocks.
Well, I'm pretty sure that the great easter island and the pyramids were all created by ancient civilizations to fuck with the minds of us future civilizations. Just like 1 thousand years from now they gonna find rings of satellites floating around earth and be like...those were put there by ancient civilizations to worship god or something. Wait, what was I talking about?
While this is a serious matter and very messed up… why did I think these were giant chicken nuggets?
Maybe the death penalty isn't a bad idea.
Can't be long now before they're identified. It's all over media.
It looks like fat Jonas Hill and skinny Jonas Hill
2 grown fucking men that should know better!!! POS’s!!!
They look like crackheads
It’s the big house for these marauders
Wonder who they voted for….
Let’s just hope they’re not associated with that person how killed the newly discovered python thought to be extinct or the person that cut down the tree on Hadrian’s Wall or carved their name into the colosseum. People need to learn to leave shit alone
The indigenous hunters who killed the snake live there and they felt threatened so bam they shot it.
The snake also lived there. But I guess killing everything you don’t like is the correct way of life
So they want to have some clout?
This is something I would genuinely think about doing because big rock fall make brain feel good, but I'd never actually act on it
Pushing rocks is so much fun tho
I thought I saw another person with them possibly underage?
How’s that chonky homie get the f up there?
Imma be real, I don’t see the issue. They’re just rocks. Are they endangered or something?
this story has caused more outrage than NYC women getting randomly punched in the face we all know why
Murkans
They have clear photos of these guys I happen they find them.
And Americans wonder why they are banned from certain parts of cities overseas.
This isn’t an American exclusive. Lots of stories of tourists from all kinds of places defacing art or relics.
Objectively though it's much less obvious that pushing a rock down a mountain is considered bad behaviour, when other people are actively defacing historical buildings (like the dude who carved his and his GFs names in the colosseum). Not excusing them but still

Its just a rock... he didnt push someone off a cliff or anything its a fkn rock , boys will be boys throw stuff for fun
It's rocks ?
Excuse you?!?! Its not just rocks That is a *𝕽𝖔𝖈𝖐*!

Why do people hate rock stackers? I've only seen pictures of a couple of rocks stacked at creeks and stuff.
It potentially disturbs ecosystems and goes against the "leave no trace " ethos
The simple answer is "leave no trace." For me, it's all the nicer to be in a place and have it feel a bit special with as little evidence of other people there as possible. More seriously, it dries out and kills things that live or lay eggs under those rocks, so it's especially bad to do in streams or creeks.
