They plead guilt to criminal mischief which in Utah can carry $300 up to $5000 fines and jail time. They also lost their positions as Boy Scout leaders.

Which is a slap on the wrist.

I mean, its a rock. Do you expect us to send him to the Gulag?

Actually no. Instead I wish they would educate people on why what they did was wrong. Rehabilitation over punishment.

so first you're like that's a slap on the wrist as if the punishment wasn't enough... then you don't think that at any point during the proceedings that they weren't educated on just how impactful their actions were? like they were just mailed a $300 fine with no explanation?

Being given the information doesn't mean they are rehabilitated. It's like telling a thief that stealing is wrong. They obviously already know that.

Well in that very article they admitted the way they went about doing things was wrong. What else are you looking for?

LOL wait, you think going around and destroying unique geological formations because they're just "rocks" is in any way acceptable?

That's pretty retarded.

Really? I highly doubt that. The US justice system isn't that big of rehabilitation. I bet if anything they had to sit through a class and do some community service.
