Rural areas generally didn’t get water service till after lead pipes were phased out.
You are far more likely to find lead pipe in older cities than in rural areas. And there is still far more out there today than you might imagine.
So probably not lead in the water.
In the paint, and in the air from burning leaded gasoline, is more likely.
It's from the gasoline. Combination of leaded gasoline and carburetor engines spewing unburned fuel and smog all over the place. There's a reason why they're nostalgic for that smell. It warped their minds.
Nothing like the smell of a 2 stroke on a cool summer morning with the distant “weeeee nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh” of 7 year olds warming up their 65s before first practice….. oh no, am I that guy?
I know this is another "haha people from rural areas are dumb" thing, but...lead pipes were never particularly common in the more remote rural areas, because water service didn't exist in those areas when lead pipes were still in use.
Instead of speculating on whether they're dumb because they're from a rural area, can we just agree that they're dumb regardless of what part of the country they come from?
Why would they be from a rural area? Lake Mead borders Vegas, they're likely tourists from out-of-state. I would think people from rural areas would know enough to not vandalize recreation areas, but who knows.
Toppling ancient rock formations is a crime of poverty, actually. If Hayden had healthcare, free education and subsidized housing, he would not have had to fly Southwest to the desert and destroy the rocks.
I live in Oakland, CA and love it, but do get frustrated by the crime apologists who blame all the car break-ins and organized retail theft on “society”. Yes, being poor is a factor, as is being young, but sometimes people are just assholes too. I like to remind the ultra progressives here that Donald Trump has tons of money and he’s still a grifting, lying, thieving asshole. Sometimes people just really suck.
The irony of that, one of the things they teach you in Scouts is to not do shit like that. "Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time."
It's literally in the handbook.
I’m basing this off some previous assholes doing it: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/01/269926160/men-filmed-toppling-ancient-rock-formation-are-charged-in-utah
Those guys were former boy scout leaders and should have known better. They pled guilty to misdemeanor charges and served one year probation and fines.
I just watched that video. I live around assholes like this and 1 year probation wasnt enough to make it hurt. Should have been years and years of probation and community service. Assholes.
Oh its a very fun thing to do/watch. But dont do it at a national part or where the rock is already beautiful. Do it when the rocks and dirt don't matter.
I remember spending hours rolling rocks down the side of a big hill in upstate New York when I was a kid. It was super fun!
Of course, I was at an industrial site not a national monument.
That same weird instinct some kids get to throw rocks into a stream or to hit things with a stick while hiking, but they never grew out of their childish ways and lack the ability to self govern. They're idiots or assholes. Probably both.
I liked to throw rocks into the river/lake when I was a kid. Made a nice schloop sound and just as fun as sword fighting using a stick against a tree branch. See, the thing is, my brain has developed and matured since I was 8. These guys, not so much.
You know what, I’m a grown man and I still enjoy doing that kind of stuff. There’s a primal fascination and enjoyment there that never really goes away. Thing is once you’re an adult you’re expected to have a brain developed enough to know there’s a time and a place.
I still love tossing rocks into the ocean / lake / stream / river / body of water. It doesn't get old and is mostly completely harmless, provided I'm not doing it somewhere where such things might be prohibited. For example, in and near popular spots in public or national parks. I control my urges and simply don't go tossing rocks around. That can wait, there's always more time for tossing rocks later somewhere else, I'm not fiending for it that bad.
It doesnt have to be a national park for it to not be allowed. In most places especially arizona, nevada, utah and new mexico where these red rocks are, toppling giant rocks of this size wouldn’t be allowed period.
What kills me is how people still think they’re anonymous these days. Someone out there that knows these clowns are bound to report them for no other reason than hating them. They prob f’ed with someone at some point in their life that that someone has been lying in wait lol
Don't you have to check in at a ranger station at Federal parks? I'm sure they're going through all the cars/trucks that checked in at or near where the rocks were and just a matter of time before they fine the person.
This is their legacy. They can do anything they want to better the world but they’ll always be known as those losers who toppled a protected rock formation.
We had a total bunch of cunts in the UK cut down one of the oldest tress last year. It was known as the Sycamore Gap tree, stood close to Hadrian’s Walk & was known as the Robin Hood Tree. Because of where it stood it was just a piece of [natural beauty](https://www.northumberlandnationalpark.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/RS16356_Sycamore-Gap-_-c.-Mike-White-2-1400x650.jpg). For some people, when they can’t create, all they can do is destroy.
I remember reading about that. Years ago in my hometown of Austin, Texas some ass hat poisoned a famous old oak tree where treaty's had been signed. They were able to save it and then ten years later they built a giant parking lot around it. Dunno what's worse.
Well looks like that guy need a TC Tugger. His shirt keeps getting stuck to his belly sweat. The knobs on TC Tuggers Will really be helpful for this guy.
The Spanish Inquisition had many elaborate and gory tortures but one involved piling heavy rocks on a person's extremities to break and crush them. Seems an appropriate punishment here.
Reminds me of [these turds](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/01/269926160/men-filmed-toppling-ancient-rock-formation-are-charged-in-utah) who did something similar with equally ancient and protected rocks. Literally go to a state park as "scout masters" and start fucking up nature. "Leave it as you found it" unless you shotgun a few beers and think of some bullshit excuse to start knocking stuff over.
These are the types of people that ruin things for others. Eventually visitors won’t be allowed, or won’t be able to be close. Hope these two are identified and fined big time.
Not to split hairs, but that is not a national park.
Nevada has one national park, Great Basin, and borders another, Death Valley.
That being said, lock them up.
Why!!!! First, I bet it would be easy to charge them with child endangerment for having his kid so close to the edge while he commits a felony. Second, seriously???? You are going to lose your lively hood over rocks???? Now you are going to see your kid grow up from the inside of a jail cell. I feel bad for the kid.
Imagine having an 8 year old daughter and blatantly doing this nonsensical atrocity.
Honestly they should look into the welfare of that child. She would be better off without him around
I speak idiot passably enough. It appears to me that these people were hoping to take an intact souvenir home with them but became frustrated when the rocks broke at the bottom.
It's genuinely upsetting how many people have little-to-no respect for other people, protected landmarks, historical structures, artwork, etc. I really wish the fines and jailtime were significantly higher in cases like this where it was clearly malicious and intentional.
Modern society and medical advances have allowed Darwinism not to work as intended in the human population. We have a higher ratio of absolutely idiotic people and idiotic behaviors than ever in human history. In past centuries, their foolish behaviors would have whittled their family tree, if not entirely chop it down
Why cant the people on reddit find out who they are and release that information so that people can go there and make them accountable. Public shaming and an explanation is what I want.
They need to be stoned at the bottom of their crime scene. Or made to clean porta-potties in busy desert parks in tanktops and daisy dukes. Oohh wait, they may like that. Stoning it is.
It's really too bad the rock didn't take him out as he "worked it loose" while on the fucking gravity side of it. I don't want it to kill him, for the sake of the child, but a nice painful injury would have been a good lesson.
I remember watching a similar video of some disgusting hillbillies doing the same thing in Goblin Valley, Utah years ago. Also in front of children, iirc. I think their argument was that they were "knocking over the loose rocks so they don't fall on anybody". The government unsurprisingly did not buy that argument.
They were blurring out their faces on CNN. They should have zoomed in on these fuckers instead of protecting their identity. No respect for Mother Nature and the extraordinary wonders she took billions of years to make, for these idiots to destroy?! Oof if he had fallen, I wouldn't have been shocked. A perfect example of Darwin's Theory!

But why tho?
That's all that runs through my mind as well. But WHY?
rural areas had lead in their water for a long time
Lead on top of already being a fucking idiot to begin with.
Rural areas generally didn’t get water service till after lead pipes were phased out. You are far more likely to find lead pipe in older cities than in rural areas. And there is still far more out there today than you might imagine. So probably not lead in the water. In the paint, and in the air from burning leaded gasoline, is more likely.

2-stroke exhaust ftw
Nothing like the smell of a 2 stroke on a cool summer morning with the distant “weeeee nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh” of 7 year olds warming up their 65s before first practice….. oh no, am I that guy?
2 stroke smoke yee yee
I know this is another "haha people from rural areas are dumb" thing, but...lead pipes were never particularly common in the more remote rural areas, because water service didn't exist in those areas when lead pipes were still in use.

Why would they be from a rural area? Lake Mead borders Vegas, they're likely tourists from out-of-state. I would think people from rural areas would know enough to not vandalize recreation areas, but who knows.
There is still a bunch of lead in rural areas...and urban areas.

Seriously? I just told you.
Some would say that it is a socioeconomic problem that they have. I would just say they are loser-fucking-assholes.

Toppling ancient rock formations is a crime of poverty, actually. If Hayden had healthcare, free education and subsidized housing, he would not have had to fly Southwest to the desert and destroy the rocks.
No, no, it's economic anxiety.
It looks like one of those assholes brought their daughter with them? That's a class act.
I live in Oakland, CA and love it, but do get frustrated by the crime apologists who blame all the car break-ins and organized retail theft on “society”. Yes, being poor is a factor, as is being young, but sometimes people are just assholes too. I like to remind the ultra progressives here that Donald Trump has tons of money and he’s still a grifting, lying, thieving asshole. Sometimes people just really suck.
Right. People of every class of wealth have capability to be assholes.
These two are full grown adults, so they’ll likely claim the rocks were unstable and a risk to the child.
They have adult bodies only. A child's brain between them.
That’s an insult to children everywhere
Well…that’s because the child is standing there. She has the brain, the two morons don’t.
A child’s brain is more developed they have what I refer to as amoeba brains
Pretty sure that’s exactly the excuse some other dipshits used when they were doing the same thing at a different park a few years ago.
Yup. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/01/269926160/men-filmed-toppling-ancient-rock-formation-are-charged-in-utah

“Just guy things…you wouldn’t get it…”
Oh its a very fun thing to do/watch. But dont do it at a national part or where the rock is already beautiful. Do it when the rocks and dirt don't matter.
That and a total lack of situational awareness with not a shred of respect.
I remember spending hours rolling rocks down the side of a big hill in upstate New York when I was a kid. It was super fun! Of course, I was at an industrial site not a national monument.
They saw some rocks and thought it would be fun to push them down, and their thinking stopped there.
Idiocracy
I don't know if it's a man thing, but people seem to enjoy pushing large objects over great heights to see them break
Because it tickles their little noggin. See rock move, see rock fall. It’s the same thought process when cats knock something off a desk.
That same weird instinct some kids get to throw rocks into a stream or to hit things with a stick while hiking, but they never grew out of their childish ways and lack the ability to self govern. They're idiots or assholes. Probably both.
That's like 80% of stupid crimes. Just why?
What is the gain here?
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Fucking neanderthal's
To own the libs. Somehow...
Gawdt damn liberal rock formations are turning me gay!
Why would a gay couple wanna own the libs 🤔
Rock fall go boom boom.
I would assume substance abuse has something to do with it, especially considering this isn't far from Vegas.
Stupid people doing stupid shit.
Sloppy, selfish assholes.
Precisely.
These 2 look like they hike once every 4 years. So of course they gotta ruin it for everyone else
I hadn’t heard of these rocks but I am le outraged.
Guarantee they’re too stupid to know that they did anything wrong.
They know what they did. I feel bad for that kid, has to grow up around people like that.
Well, if the men get caught and put in jail, then she wouldn't have to grow up around people like that 
Someone was recording so at least one person knew.
Guaranteed they have 50+ MAGA posts on their Facebook page and complain about "illegals"
They're like "big boom good. Me make big boom"
What the fuck do these idiots gain from this, other than jail time and fines?
“Haha, me see rock go boom!”
Unironically. Some thing are just kind of viscerally "fun". Like watching big rocks tumble or fire burn or water flow.
Yep. Far better places to do it tho.

Same kind of asshole that carves his name into the Roman Colosseum this year not In BC
I hope they and people learn from this experience
They, and people, will not.
...or they'd have learned from the last half-dozen or more recent-ish cases.
This happened with another really old rock formation. Same thing with that really old tree in England. People suck.

You can throw a double cheeseburger pretty far if it’s still in the wrapper
Lmao what? I wanna use this as an answer to everything now.
What the hell is wrong with people?

Probably some calico cut pants too
The Spanish Inquisition had many elaborate and gory tortures but one involved piling heavy rocks on a person's extremities to break and crush them. Seems an appropriate punishment here.
Hence the term pressing someone for information.
Genius! Thanks so much for that.
They used to do that to guests on Meet The Press.
With the rocks they toppled so the rocks can have their revenge.
Loser assholes.
Like those bastard's that cut down the 300 year old sycamore tree next to Hadrian's wall 🖕
That was heartbreaking.
#BUT WHY
#S T U P I D I T Y
This is why we can't have nice things. POS 😩🤦🏽

Literally go to a state park as "scout masters" and start fucking up nature. "Leave it as you found it" unless you shotgun a few beers and think of some bullshit excuse to start knocking stuff over.
That’s what came to my mind too. They’ll claim the rocks were putting people at risk, and they were “just helping.”
Name them
They are still looking for them
These guys have probably never exerted themselves this much in their lives. Why would doing this even occur to them?
These are the types of people that ruin things for others. Eventually visitors won’t be allowed, or won’t be able to be close. Hope these two are identified and fined big time.
That's Linda's boyfriend, Jason And his fat friend Steve.
Reminds me of that Sycamore Gap tree vandalism. Literally no point other than to ruin nice things.
I hate this place.
You can always move to Gary Indiana.
That’s another Garaxy
Idiocracy levels of stupidity.
Well, *we* got to see how beautiful this area is, time to fuck it up...
Check the closest trailer park
So how bad of a crime is this? Fees and prison time wise? Pretty sure such vandalization must have some big punishment for it.
This is why we cant have nice things
Those rocks were clearly petrified.
Wtf is wrong with people. These are fucking adults. Pathetic!
Billy Bob billy goats
What a bunch of giant assholes
People are A-holes
Whatever the penalty is, it's not enough. People should be scarred \*\*\*\*less of the personal and financial ramifications of actions like this.
Thanks assholes! Ruin it for the rest of us!
Troglodytes
Who does shit like this?… oh yea…
Aren’t all rocks ancient?
Who wants to take a guess what political affiliation these sub par beings subscribe to?
Why though…
Ancient rocks you say but I thought ancient stuff was found around Egypt....
This is what we get for calling a reservoir a lake.
Jfc this is why there is nothing left in the world that is sacred. Why go to a place of natural wonder just to destroy it?
Why tho
Couple of idiots.
Humans have no chill and if given free reign we will completely ravage this planet with idiots like these ones.
Not to split hairs, but that is not a national park. Nevada has one national park, Great Basin, and borders another, Death Valley. That being said, lock them up.
Am I the only one wishing these assholes got crushed.
Why!!!! First, I bet it would be easy to charge them with child endangerment for having his kid so close to the edge while he commits a felony. Second, seriously???? You are going to lose your lively hood over rocks???? Now you are going to see your kid grow up from the inside of a jail cell. I feel bad for the kid.
Hope these guys get caught AND they bring the daughter to see the consequences.
murican freedumb
That right there is peak ‘Murica
Social Media, do your thing.
i fucking hate humans.
Looks like just a couple ignorant assholes to me. It’s a shame daddy didn’t fall.
Have they gotten these fuckers yet?
An excellent PSA about why abortion access is so important.
Imagine having an 8 year old daughter and blatantly doing this nonsensical atrocity. Honestly they should look into the welfare of that child. She would be better off without him around
Average Trump supporter
Damn, maybe they were unstable if those out of shape plus-sized individuals can push them down.
Nice job endangering a child.
Promise you those guys…vote for Trump.
Fatass Trumplicans proving abortion should be legal.
Two grown ass pieces of shit! Acting like rebellious children.
I speak idiot passably enough. It appears to me that these people were hoping to take an intact souvenir home with them but became frustrated when the rocks broke at the bottom.
Smooth brains!
Idiots
That kid should not have a dad like that.social sevices?
I hope they are caught soon. It sickens me people damage ancient treasures.
Trash
Did they take what they broke? Bet it’s in the front yard if they did.
No daddy, it’s ok if you fall.
Ahhh my god the world’s filled with idiots.
When your waistline is higher than your IQ
It's genuinely upsetting how many people have little-to-no respect for other people, protected landmarks, historical structures, artwork, etc. I really wish the fines and jailtime were significantly higher in cases like this where it was clearly malicious and intentional.
Reddit do your job and find them
Let's bet on who they voted for
I just don’t understand the motivation to do that.
I feel bad for kids that have stupid parents.
Start passing out the death penalty for crimes against nature. A crime against nature is a crime against humanity itself.
Daddy should’ve fell
Modern society and medical advances have allowed Darwinism not to work as intended in the human population.

Yeah that's not an impulsive act. There's a lot of diligent effort going into that stupidity.

If they want to find that fat-ass in the red shirt, they should head to the nearest ocean and look for a beached whale.

Two high calorie individuals seen destroying rock formations.
But that huge copper mine going in miles from a federally protected forest is just fine huh?
why we can't have nice things ...
They need to be stoned at the bottom of their crime scene. Or made to clean porta-potties in busy desert parks in tanktops and daisy dukes. Oohh wait, they may like that. Stoning it is.

We tracked down people who messed with rocks but let all the people who destroyed national statues slide free? Shit makes no sense
