I think Fort Morgan has some stockyards.....

You reckon they have any verically sleeping cows a person could tip over . . . .?
(if one was of a mind to do something like that, say, out of a concern for the cow's safety?)

Man Who Toppled Ancient Rock Suing for Disability

A Boy Scout leader who came under fire for pushing over an ancient boulder in a national park filed a suit last month claiming he was suffering permanent "disability" and "impairment" from an auto accident four years ago.

Glenn Taylor initially faced scrutiny after a video of him pushing over a Jurassic era rock formation in the Goblin Valley State Park in Utah went viral.

Taylor, a Boy Scout leader, told ABC News that he should have handled the incident differently but thought the boulder was dangerous and thought it would be safer to push it over.

"The Boy Scouts didn't teach me to do this," Taylor told ABC News. "Would I do it again? Yes, with a ranger standing there. That's what we should have done."

Charges Possible For Toppled Ancient Utah Rock

However Taylor is now facing additional scrutiny after it was revealed that he filed a suit claiming he has he endured "great pain and suffering, disability, impairment, loss of life" stemming from a 2009 car accident, according to ABC News affiliate KTVX-TV in Salt Lake City, Utah.

According to KTVX, Taylor said in the documents he has incurred an estimated $5,000 in medical related expenses.

Alan Macdonald, who is being sued by Taylor because it was his daughter who hit Taylor's car, told KTVX that he was "highly offended" by Taylor's actions.

"Somebody with a bad back who is disabled who can't enjoy life to me doesn't step up and push a rock right off its base," Macdonald said.

Calls to a number listed in Taylor's name and to his attorney were not immediately returned.

The Emery County Attorney's Office confirmed that it has been contacted by state park representatives and will review the case once an investigation is complete.

Amazing how so many idiots post their misadventures on YouTube without thinking of any of the possible repercussions.

[RadicalModerate]

It would be even MORE amazing if smart people did this rather than idiots.
(at least it would be more amazing to me)

I'm glad they do. Makes much easier for the l.e.o.'s.

Surprise, a dirt bag in one facet of his life turns out to be a dirt bag in other facets. Who could have guessed?

[BBatesokc]

Give him a fine, ban him from the park and scouting and move along. We're all living on a rock that is millions of years old and we all do our part to destroy it on a daily basis.

What they did was idiotic, but some people's reactions are just as idiotic.

A felony record? Way over the top. Find some misdemeanor if they want.

However, if he committed a fraud in his insurance claim, he should face charges for that as well.

Some people really are that dumb.

Yes....yes they are.

It keeps getting better.... The guy who pushed the rock over is trying to get disability from a car accident before this happened.

A new requirement for Eagle Scouts--in the Lying Bum Troop--is to memorize the words to this song.
And to be able to play the harmonica part on a real or improvised Kazoo.
