Sacked Scouts

From the BBC:
"Utah rock row: Dave Hall and Glenn Taylor sacked"

Two leaders of a US scout group shown in an online video toppling an ancient rock formation in Utah have been removed from their positions. The Boy Scouts of America had condemned the destruction, calling it "reprehensible behaviour". Dave Hall filmed Glenn Taylor pushing over the 170 million-year-old sandstone rock in Goblin Valley State Park and celebrating afterwards. The men argued the rock was loose and could have fallen on a passer-by. They now say they should have alerted park rangers to the potential danger. The Boy Scouts said in a statement the actions did not adhere to the group's "leave no trace" principle on the outdoors, and have asked all scout leaders to review those guidelines. The move provoked an international outcry, and the two men have said they have received death threats from around the world.  Utah State Parks spokesman Eugene Swalberg has said state authorities may bring charges against the men after the incident.

^ The Boy Scouts did the right thing by kicking these two idiots out. Not only did they commit a criminal act, but they also destroyed a 170 million year old artifact - something that can never be replaced. I hope the authorities take this seriously and give them a nice, long jail term. ^
