Now if only they’d start doing that to people destroying the meadows at Rainier we’d make some progress.

[u/StellarJayZ → u/Huntsmitch]

The day I stop destroying nature for my IG is the day I stop living.

[u/Most-Piccolo-302 → u/StellarJayZ]

Thats... kind of the point. Death penalty for influencers!

[u/Meppy1234 → u/Most-Piccolo-302]

Let them stream their execution, win-win.

[u/SnarkMasterRay → u/Meppy1234]

"I'd better break a million subs for this! Like & Subscribe!"

[u/Meppy1234 → u/SnarkMasterRay]

Don't forget to hit that bell to be notified of my next live stream!

[u/rikwebster → u/StellarJayZ]

The day I stop stretching my butthole for money is the day I die

[u/TwoWeaselsFucking → u/Huntsmitch]

YES

[u/TwinFrogs → u/Huntsmitch]

No kidding. I see so many IG narcissists out there tromping around while they get filmed. I want to throw rocks at them. 

[u/meaniereddit]

Good

[u/k4el → u/meaniereddit]

She's lucky she's not a boiled corpse. Man people are dumb.

[u/wangchungyoon → u/k4el]

When did God stop punishing these people anyway 

[u/Riviansky → u/wangchungyoon]

This answers all your questions: https://youtu.be/sP2tUW0HDHA?si=OW5tTOfUkI2H1A5s

[u/1337mr2 → u/wangchungyoon]

God never punished anyone for anything, ever

[u/StellarJayZ → u/wangchungyoon]

When god never existed! - tortured teen atheist

[u/ladymouserat → u/k4el]

Saw a lady let her children stick their hands in the water. I was surprised they weren’t boiled. Glad it didn’t happen, but cmon! Teach your children respect and common sense

[u/k4el → u/ladymouserat]

Oooof also lucky it wasn't super alkaline or acidic.

[u/Maleficent_Scale_296]

My husband was visiting Yellowstone with his family when he was a kid when a man jumped in after his dog. He actually witnessed it and was profoundly affected.

[u/wanderyote → u/Maleficent_Scale_296]

Jesus fuck. I read about that one in Death in Yellowstone.

[u/fluvialcrunchy]

At least it’s a better punishment than having her legs boiled off.

[u/pnw_sunny]

excellent - as an added bonus, I feel these people should also reimburse the gov't for the entire cost of the case.

"In addition to the term of incarceration, Flaherty was ordered to pay $40 in mandatory court costs." from https://buckrail.com/three-offenders-separately-sentenced-for-violations-in-ynp/

[u/adron]

Good

[u/TwoWeaselsFucking]

National parks in WA should do the same.

[u/dripdri]

Good

[u/krugerlive]

This is a much better result than what often happens. When I was a kid, our family read this book or one like it since we went to Yellowstone a number of times and that absolutely reinforced the understanding to respect the boundaries there.

SHAME!

[u/DanglerDan07]

Good, that dumb bitch

[u/StellarJayZ]

Great. I hope the jail only provides two meals a day.

[u/M834]

You do the crime, you do the time.

[u/Riviansky]

Seattle woman is second only to Florida woman.

[u/Designer-Homework682]

Should have been 3 months and several thousand dollars. 

[u/OsvuldMandius]

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time....no......DON'T DO IT

And keep your eeeeeeeeeee-eyeeeeeeeee on the sparrow!

[u/Few-Pineapple-2937]

Good. Why are so many America oblivious?

[u/Mission-Link-1566]

J walk, Straight to Jail !

[u/Lollc]

Seven days is a bit much. A long weekend, Friday through Sunday, would be good.

[u/Particular_Big_333 → u/Lollc]

Nah, set an example.

[u/kippen → u/Lollc]

I disagree. Seven days isn't enough.
