dafuq this thread went south fast. In any event, that girl is hosed. This story is all over the national papers, the AP, Reuters, etc. And they will get her on ARPA. I suspect it will be a felony charge.
Oh and "C.A Timothy" or whatever, I don't have a dog in this hunt but damn son you do sound like an idiot. Just sayin', kid.

Through a cloud of pain killers from a shoulder procedure, I am going to rev up my addled brain to the redline and say that we use chalk in to enjoy the land. Like any other user group, climbers leave their mark, but the impact is minor. The "painter's" intent was to leave an impact, so somehow it is different.
Damn, when I read back over that it sounds stupid. There is a good point in there somewhere, but I am just too messed up right no to dig it out. Maybe someone else can build on this...

Maybe it's better to just move on...
Or at least re-focus on the matter at hand.
Selfish art vandalism in National Parks by a hot young blonde.
Focus, people!

bvb or whatever...you may not like my argument or my logic, but that does not mean there is no correlation or comparison to be made. I would call the man who sees only one side of an issue the idiot. Not the one who raises a question about the actions of a user group that he belongs to.
I am not bothered by the fact that a bunch oh hypocrites cannot see the point. Most people reading this can see the point, and recognize that it does have merit.
Im sorry that like jebus and apogee, you are incapable of seeing this issue w/o you climber goggles on. Or do you old dudes use belygles now to save your neck?

I've been googling "naked vandal girl painter" It's yielded interesting results, but I haven't found this girl yet...
I googled that too, and a few other variations. The resulting images were quite "bushy."

"Management and law enforcement have some discretion in how and when they enforce such laws. "
You can bet that 'discretion' is usually dependent on having direct evidence of the offense, a reasonable means by which to obtain it, or as in this case, the admission of the offender.
Balanced against the significance of the offense, and the desire to make a public example.

It seems most of the reaction is focused on the crime and just how bad it is relative to other acts which produces endless debates on where you draw the line. I suppose it's only natural given that hypocrisy is a part of the human condition.
But recognizing the vast majority of folks out there would agree that she is/was over that line. The real question is why the hell would she do such a thing and be OK with it? She certainly had plenty of time to think about what she was doing over many days of travel.(Please no artist expression excuses here)
I suppose her random acts of stupidity could be far more frequent then mine. That said there are certainly lines I've never ever considered crossing, something that is hard wired or just in my DNA. An act I can't even imagine doing, very curious behavior and so first world.

If she had painted that stuff a thousand years ago, we'd be creating a national park to protect it.
hahaha probably
And then a 50,000 posts forum thread arguing what it means.
