Sorry, I have to say something about people destroying, defacing and damaging ancient sites, historical places and petroglyphs - WTF is wrong with people? I have seen a dozen pristine pictographs as a kid only to go back 10 years later to see them defaced. People have become more disrespectful, dishonorable, narcissistic, hateful and idiotic over the last few years.

I have found two previously unknown locations just hiking around over the years and because of this I have never told anyone about them or shown anyone else where they are.

We need to make examples of these people so others will learn.

Same. It's an incredibly vile crime - genuinely a crime against humanity.

Purgatory correctional faculty- that is so bad ass

This is really getting too rampant in the past few years. Defacing historical sites isn’t helpful at all. It sucks to see them go

Some people are incredibly stupid.

Not surprisingly, federal sentences in these types of cases are very light. I fully realize this isn't a case that compares to a major drug distributor, but it is impactful nonetheless. I don't know the facts of the alleged violation or the defendant's criminal history, but my bet is that this will result in a misdemeanor resolution.

7mm-08 you are, unfortunately, correct that it typically ends up as a misdemeanor.

Another WTF that gets under my skin is Boulder rolling - I remember some guys dislodging giant boulders from cliffs below a dam in Wyoming, which is considered a federal crime as it was federal land but they got misdemeanors.

Remember the climber that was killed in the Wind Rivers when someone threw a rock off a cliff in Wyoming.

A Thrown Rock, a Dead Climber

When Pete Absolon, the Rocky Mountain director of NOLS, set out for a climb in Wyoming's Wind River Range, life couldn't have been better. A deadly mistake by another man ended it all in an instant—and started a nightmare that's never going to stop.

Here is one from Lake Mead - glad they got the guy doing this.

I do think there needs to be more face tattoos handed down during sentencing.

Skip the fines and go straight to a “I defaced your public heritage” stenciled across their foreheads. Both a punishment and a public service reminder deterrent.
