toppling Boy Scout leaders of Utah 'Goblin' boulder

Utah 'Goblin'-topplers in big trouble.  

Authorities say three men, including two Boy Scout leaders, could face felony charges after knocking over an ancient Utah desert rock formation and posting a video of the incident online.

My thoughts & comment

First...its not Leadership to destroy property Dave Hall and Glenn Taylor...and obviously you tested the rock first to see if it may move, and then came the scheme of it might fall on someone, so we should for safety reasons push it over.  As we did not see your Scout Troop with you. 

This had nothing to do with the Government Shutting Down of Our National Parks, as stated in the article.

My not wishing anyone to get hurt, you are lucky it did not backfire and land on you. Then there would of been no High Five-ing or Cheering like *@*!^ as displayed in the video...

....Mentor's for Stupidity is not Boy Scouting "Be Prepared" and I hope there is not a next time for all involved, had you mentioned before the stupid act of heroism, the reason for your pushing the boulder over, might have helped your case, then the cheers of success might have been warranted as in a touch down for Safety.

Gun Control vs Gun Rights

2nd Amendment - adopted on December 15, 1791 - United States 'Gun control' vs 'Gun rights'

The Second Amendment was based partially on the right to keep and bear arms in English common-law and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689. 

This right was described by Sir William Blackstone as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.

Gun Control vs Gun Rights

15 year old Girl leaves Anti-Gun Politicians Speechless

Best Rifle/Gun/Pistol Open Carry Police Stop Ever - by Officer J. Estes, Oregon, speaking with Shane, Blake & Warren, who wish to remain last nameless, as they proceed to question the Officer, who are clueless as to why the Officer would want to see their ID, as it is not normal for People to walk the streets with an AR-15 Assault Rifle slung over your shoulder with a loaded clip.  Finally the Officer was allowed to examine the AR-15, and discovered the loaded clip, with NO round in the chamber.  Also the person with the rifle also had a holstered pistol.  Something you might except of those hunting, not on a city street dressed in casual attire.  Note: My personal issue with someone walking down the street with a rifle, holstered gun, no matter the caliber or type...is that there are those who may drive up and shoot that person.  Not to mention...how the public may react due to the touchy subject of mass murder, at any location in recent months or years.  

Understandably our National Guard, Police, or other Agencies might do the same, carry weapons, as part of their duties.  And the unknown may be assumed, that a person in plain clothes carrying a weapon may intend to do harm, intimidate or if the situation arises in defending themselves, may use the weapon and accidentally shoot others.
