All this shows is that I was right, someone figured they could do it because the law was on their side so they did it. It wasn't about the ecosystem it was about imposing their will over others. It wasn't bothering anyone and it wasn't impacting some fragile ecosystem. Those are just excuses, really fucking lame excuses coming from fucking climbers of all people. You know, people that routinely drill holes in rocks to climb shit. Fucking hypocrites. This goes back to what I said previously, people that get upset this was put up to the point where they go there to take it down don't give two shits about it. If they didn't know it was there it would still be there today and the reason it would is because it's not fucking affecting anything being there. They just saw an opportunity to impose their will on others and decided since they wouldn't get any pushback that they'd go ahead and do it because they can. That's it, it's exactly the type of person who goes power crazy when given any kind of authority over others. The worst kind of people.
“People arrived by car, by bus, by van, helicopter, planes, trains, motorcycles and E-bikes and there isn’t even a parking lot. There aren’t bathrooms — and yes, pooping in the desert is a misdemeanor. There was a lot of that. There are no marked trails, no trash cans, and it’s not a user group area. There are no designated campsites. Each and every user on public land is supposed to be aware of the importance and relevance of this information and the laws associated with them,” he said.
Since the monolith’s discovery, the BLM — which owns the land where it was planted — pleaded with the public to avoid the area due to its remote location and hostile but fragile terrain.
But people began showing up in large crowds to see it.
The result, according to BLM spokeswoman Kimberly Finch, was resource degradation of vegetation flattened by vehicles, toilet paper tossed around and human feces on the ground. Several passenger vehicles had to be towed as well because of the high clearance required on the rugged roads.
