NPR story about vandalism and national parks
I really don’t understand people who need to deface or vandalize property (full disclosure: ~ten yrs ago, Rose’s oldest son vandalized a golf course using a golf cart upon turning 18).
This story is about a young person in their early twenties who decided to paint/draw, etc. on things (rock faces) at our national parks, then bragged about what they had done via FB, Instagram, etc.
The article doesn’t really show any examples of what they had done, but if you use google/images and search for “Casey nocket”, you’ll see the “art” they created. It’s not “art”, it’s stupid graffiti.
The only other surprising thing: “Casey” is a female.
How do “kids” feel it’s their “right” to do crap like this? Where did they learn it’s ok to do this type of thing? Lastly, since she was posting pictures of this junk on FB and Instagram and bragging about doing it, did any of her relatives (e.g., her parents, siblings), or friends call her out on this?
She only got 200 hours of community service. I think thirty to ninety days in jail would have made better sense.
Thoughts, opinions?
