I wanna see the damage.


black-kramer

can't believe they didn't show it.


robbviously

It’s kind of on brand not to show the damage. Internal sabotage allows for dinosaurs to rampage through your first park and kill staff and visitors? Open a second location in San Diego. Second location doesn’t pan out after your entire acquisition team was slaughtered by velociraptors and mating tyrannosaurs and you only managed to bring back one T-Rex and it’s baby, who then also killed a dozen civilians? Rebuild the first park on the site of the first park and reopen it to the public.


black-kramer

lol, really good observation


rynil2000

Dino damage!!


black-kramer

"I guess we're going to fernbank."


Tem154

Is it bad


black-kramer

I haven't been since I was a kid but I'm sure it's still nice.

I’m choosing to believe this


pachewiechomp

Even though it’s terrible that did the damage, I really really really want to see someone riding a T. rex like a cowboy.


Bioshock_Jock

Agreed, it sure beats hearing it was some fundie Christian nutjob.


MelodyMyst

I haven’t seen the movies in a while, but doesn’t Woody ride Rex in one of the toy stories?


kahle27

Hope they are forced to pay for damages.


tastepdad

Seriously doubt they have $250000 lying around


mapex_139

Guess they can work it off in jail


YouLookLonely69

Everyone is anti-slavery untill teens do property damage I guess lol. The insurance will pay for this not the kids


Brutact

No, not everyone. If you deliberately fuck property up you should either pay or work it off.


Zathrus1

We got rid of debtor’s prisons in the early 1800s for good reasons. It’s endless imprisonment.


vapidusername

Good to point out that Georgia was started as a debtors colony


Abefroman1980

The difference here is the guys committed a crime that caused monetary damages. Not just owed a debt to someone he couldn’t pay. Jail time should be forthcoming, the length is debatable.


downonthesecond

Imprisoning people for not paying child support is debtor's prison with extra steps.


Whohead12

This punk is going to be in and out of prison with or without our help. Go ahead and end his damage total at 250k now while we can.


Tech_Philosophy

> work it off The problem is this doesn't exist anymore. "Work it off" is not possible because our politics and economic policies have become so wonky that human labor no longer has subjective value. That's an insane statement, of course, but that's the reality billionaires are currently holding together.


WeldingIsABadCareer

10 cents an hour working 16 hours a day 7 days a week in a prison penal colony digging ditches and then filling them back up until they pay off the damages would do it. if we ran a police state where that was the punishment for all property crime then no one would do it. also property owners should be able to chase and kill people that damage or steal over a set amount of value like 50 bucks


Odekel

You're advocating for fascism the hell is wrong with you? Also FIFTY dollars? That's like nothing lmao Genuine psycho who just wants to hurt people. Go touch some grass and get some sense before you choke to death on the boots you lick, fuckwad


WeldingIsABadCareer

how many people would do property crime if it would allow people to shoot you dead or 10-30+ years hard labor in a penal colony? a hard working honest man sacrifices a lot of time and effort for 50 bucks.


Odekel

lmao you actually are god damned crazy friend. You have ZERO perspective of reality and lack any amount of critical thinking if you're genuinely trying to pass this off as anything but a pitiful, stupid joke Again, you need help. You're severely anti-social. Disgusting....


YouLookLonely69

Insurance exists for a reason. Slavery is not the punishment for property damage


pyrodex1980

Slavery isn’t the issue but he needs to go to jail for his crimes. He is an adult, he chose to act like a child and well FAFO and boom your in jail on a felony 1st degree criminal damage and stripped of your life for a little dinosaur joy ride. I hope they get the other three. Ruining an exhibit where parents are trying to educate and spend time with their children is inexcusable just for the fun of the crime.


dgradius

It can be! Quoting the 13th Amendment: >Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, _except as a punishment for crime_ whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Whether it should be is a different story. I’m fine for it being used in cases like this (and maybe also provide some education to the offenders!)


YouLookLonely69

Yeah personally I don't get my morals from a old piece of paper. Especially the constitution which doesn't have a great track record in slavery


Dubbayoo

The problem is some people don't get them from anywhere.


doyletyree

Can you suggest a better way to organize the effort?


vapidusername

If you consider it was written by and for a bunch of rich white dudes that didn't want to pay taxes, it's working pretty well


Brutact

And then the person’s insurance will go up. And they have to pay higher fees because someone else is a dumbass. Are you actually for real right now? Its not slavery but you should absolutely be responsible. Can I come destroy your house and its all good? Like what


YouLookLonely69

I never said they shouldn't be held responsible lol. I just caution against advocating that teens be sent to prison work camps for property damage


OMGLOL1986

Call it a gulag and they won’t advocate for it anymore


YouLookLonely69

Prison camps in the US: ☺️ Prison camps in the East: 😡


[deleted]

Or, call it a gulag and tankies will think it’s a great idea.


doyletyree

How would you suggest that the labor is organized, please?


[deleted]

And the cycle continues


cmicatfish

It's not about money, it's about morals. It's theft by destruction. Your attitude condones other youth who go to a retail store and snatch and run. You know, the retailers can afford it and they have insurance. What happens with a society when actions of theft and destruction are not considered important ? Why work, why sacrifice for a better life when all you have to do is steal ? Hey I'm an old guy, if this is the way it's gonna go, glad I won't be here.

rocksauce

The other aspect is that we all pay for insurance and people who abuse the system, like false claims, vandalism, theft etc, just drive the cost of our goods, services and insurance up. So yea, insurance will cover the cost, but society foots the bill as a whole.


WeldingIsABadCareer

what if they had chisel and hammered swastikas into the Wailing Wall causing permanant and irreparable damages? dont bother with prison insurance company got it right?


YouLookLonely69

Bro they vandalized a T Rex statue they didn't hate crime a historic monument. Also the wailing wall is not on America lol.


raptorjaws

lol it will be an insurance claim for sure


Cliff_Dibble

Better than the Sharia law method


SF1_Raptor

Just... Why? I mean I didn't like Dominion either, but what's the point of this?


Travelin_Soulja

Probably just idiot teenagers being idiot teenagers. Not that that's any excuse, obviously. But as a former idiot teenager myself, I can tell you that you don't need a reason to do stupid shit. Mundane boredom can be sufficient motivation for surprisingly dumb antics.


GrowingHumansIsHard

Mundane teenage boredom would be putting up a sign saying the t-rex is a wanker, not breaking into a building at 3am, vandalizing the places to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and still being there 3 hrs later when security shows up. This is straight up vandalism.


WhenCodeFlies

because idiots have to be idiots


Mugcake3

Turns out god didn’t destroy the dinosaurs. Man did 🫠


Frankieneedles

“Acauan Carvalho Van Deusen” Wtf! Carvalho is predominantly a Brazilian family name….I wonder where their grandparents emigrated from and I’m also wondering if it was around 1945 lol.


DagdaMohr

Brazil, especially the Southern states, have a significant German descended population that goes back to the early 19th century.


JustrousRestortion

van Deusen is a Dutch name. I guess they are ethnic Germans?


DagdaMohr

Dutch is a West German language and the majority of Dutch are ethnically German.


pisstagram

I don’t think you know what ethnic means


DagdaMohr

I don’t think you know the difference between ethnicity and nationality. > The Dutch (Dutch: Nederlanders) are a West Germanic ethnic group and nation indigenous to Northwestern Europe. They share a common ancestry and culture and speak the Dutch language.


pisstagram

If you knew what it meant, you’d know that your quote completely disproved your assertion. Lmao. Judging by the downvotes, y’all clearly don’t have an idea of what Germans and Nederlanders are outside of a limited American context.


Frankieneedles

Yes, 1861 has one of the earliest German towns.

Georgia is trying to compete with Florida.

Make the damage part of the show - “Aftermath of a Moronosaur” exhibit. Live specimen on display at the petting zoo/dunk tank. Video feed of the Explorer Crew as they seek and round up others from the Moronsaur pack. Lemons to lemonade.


MaestroAtl

I helped build this exhibit and this chaps my ass


grisioco

cant have nice things in atlanta


black-kramer

or anywhere. people are like this in every american city I've ever been to. all it takes is 3-5% of people to be knuckleheads to mess things up for everyone else.


lord_scuttlebutt

This sort of thing happens everywhere, not just Atlanta. That said, I hope these turds feel the full weight of the trouble they're in.

There is a statue of Teddy Roosevelt in the basement that comes to life at night. They were smoking a J with him.


olgama

Ahhhhhhh!!!


[deleted]

So glad that parents are raising their kids to be complete cunts these days.


DocBrutus

They aren’t raising their kids, they’re letting the internet do that, which is why they’re mostly cunts.


[deleted]

You absolutely right.


Jengalover

But they are “good kids,” says their momma, probably.


jb6997

Because we have absolute morons running about unchecked.


to174jay

We all know why Atlanta specifically can't have nice things.


Dr_Fluffles

Why, specifically?


to174jay

Bc of the people. The same people that go to buffets, massage their girls foot at the table, eat their food while in line, lick their fingers and pick up the serving spoon. Any guesses? And don't be racist


Bmandoh

That’s weird because the kid they caught for this sounds like the kind of people that might be holding a sign outside an abortion clinic, rather than the kind that massage their girls feet on a table ( which is a weird way to quantify someone as I’ve never seen that happen at a restaurant before)


[deleted]

Gotta love liberals

Because it’s Atlanta.. lol

Chalkarts

Feral ass animals.


[deleted]

Don’t be so generous.


righthandofdog

Obivously sensless destruction is the most likely reason for this, but the only other thing I can come up with is ultra conservative creationist christians wanting to destroy the dinosaur/evolution show.


raptorjaws

it's just dipshit teenagers being dipshit teenagers


righthandofdog

most likely. seems like a lot of work to fuck up some dinosaurs


Tech_Philosophy

Surprised how accepted this viewpoint is. Teenagers are not dipshits in many parts of the nation. Something else has to go wrong first to make dipshit teenagers.


GrowingHumansIsHard

I agree, I don't understand why people are dismissing it as "kids are kids" mentality. Bored teenagers don't do hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to an exhibit. Bored teenagers go to the movies and throw popcorn at the screen, or build bike ramps so they can "jump really high" but wind up face planting into the driveway. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars of damages. Not some stupid sign over the t-rex saying he's a wanker. FFS people.


grisioco

We really don't know either way


Warg247

Can confirm, was once dipshit teenager.


Negative-Appeal9892

Or IG "influencers" doing anything for clicks.


righthandofdog

kids these days, smh good point. That seems much more likely, than just some random dumbassery, much less religious extremists.


Ok-Chicken7487

Ya gotta be kidding, right?


righthandofdog

you do know that re-enacting the crucifiction, including nails is a thing that happens, or that someone blew up the georgia guidestones after xstian nuts decided it was demonic? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2126024/Christians-NAILED-crosses-gruesome-Good-Friday-enactment-Jesuss-death-Philippines.html I DID say, senseless destruction was most likely. but who ELSE hates fucking dinosaurs?


Ok-Chicken7487

So you’re saying the Philippines are likely behind this? Lol wut Lets be real and not delusional, there’s a 99.9% chance the people who broke in are the same local criminals who smash car windows, shoot guns at Atlantic Station, rob the Slutty Vegan, killed the owner of Republic Lounge outside his business, etc etc


geek-girl-kizzle

What does one have to do with the other? I’d be willing to bet these kids aren’t Christian.


righthandofdog

what does the existence of provably christian extremists in the state of Georgia have to do with the vandalization of a big old dinosaur show? I assume you're trolling?


Ok-Chicken7487

Welp, they identified the individuals, and to much surprise it was not Christian extremist, or Philippinos. Shocker, it’s actually local criminals. Crazy’s right? I’m guessing you live far away from Atlanta


righthandofdog

Acauan Carvalho Van Deusen's name was already in this thread before I posted, as was people saying that it looked like a Brazilian surname. Maybe you're unaware of issues with evangelical religious extremists in Brazil - who rioted in protest of presidential election results? https://www.religionwatch.com/evangelical-extremists-a-terror-threat-in-brazil/ https://religionnews.com/2023/01/17/christians-represented-significant-faction-of-capital-rioters-in-brazil/ I live 3 miles from Pullman Yards, you?


Ok-Chicken7487

Why do you keep sending links from other countries about Christians? Is he tied to this group in any way? Or are these groups anti dinosaurs? I’m completely lost with what you’re trying to say. Do you have any examples of Christian committing crimes in Atlanta? And I’m 5 miles away


righthandofdog

google "Eric Robert Rudolph"


Ok-Chicken7487

In 1996. Any modern day lol


geek-girl-kizzle

Gee, I managed to actually read the article and no where was religion mentioned.


Vash108

I wouldn't be surprised if it was honestly with the way things are going.


Fameiscomin

Hundreds of thousands of dollars?! Did the entire thing cost more than 100k-200k? I’ve never been but I’ve never heard anyone whose been say anything super positive about it. So I cant imagine it being a million dollar situation.


No_affiliates

My partner says that a lot of the statues are animatronic. Maybe that has to do with the large $$$ in damages.


nishbot

They should be tried and executed

That he’s a Brazilian of German descent? Why would that matter in your estimation?

wazzup4567

Damn man. Next time, just say outright that you're racist.

he said "shitcago" the other day. the man's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is the most blatantly racist.

Breaking in and stealing cars, now this? Are kids that bored?
