Authorities seek men over damaging Death Valley binge

Updated 8:29 pm, Monday, May 9, 2016



AMARGOSA VALLEY, Nev. (AP) — Authorities on Monday were searching for three men who went on a drunken binge in an environmentally fragile area of Death Valley National Park, leaving behind beer cans, shotgun shells, vomit, underwear — and possibly killing one of the rarest fishes on earth.

The men climbed a fence guarding Devils Hole, a detached area of the park located in southwestern Nevada, around 7:30 p.m. on April 30, according to the National Park Service.

They fired at least 10 rounds from a shotgun, shooting the locks off of two gates and hitting a motion sensor and several signs. They also left beer cans and vomit, and one man waded into Devils Hole, leaving his boxer shorts in the water, the Park Service said.

Devils Hole is a cavern pool fed by a hot spring and is the only natural home of the tiny Devils Hole pupfish. The iridescent blue fish is considered critically endangered. Only around 115 currently live in Devils Hole, which is more than 500 feet deep in parts but less than 2 feet deep where the fish feed.

COUNTS OF PROPERTY DAMAGE!!

Take them out and sh**t 'em.

[Stryder]

5. Take them out?

And, what, shoot them?
Yes the ** does make you sound less like an ^$$#*!=.
Just kidding.

[vkkv]

11. So, what is your point? Please be more clear.

[snooper2]

13. I can help

Stryder was asking you if typing sh**t them, without using the actual "o"s required to spell the word-

Made you look like less of an asshole than had you actually typed- SHOOT THEM!


clear?

[vkkv]

16. And why is that issue a problem for you, personally?

You enjoy sticking your head into other peoples conversations, is that it?

I think you are a bit 'off' on who the A-Hole really is here.

Please go bother someone else.

[fleur-de-lisa]

18. You do realize this is a public site

and that anyone can respond to your posts? He was trying to be helpful. Why does that bother you so much?

[snooper2]

20. I'm not trying to bother you, just help! We are all family here!

KP ženy - 25.11.06 - VKKV: Chodov 0:3, 1:3

V sobotu 25.11. jsme doma přivítali průběžně třetí celek krajského přeboru Chodov. Okolnosti nás donutili nastoupit s dužstvem, kde pouze jedna hráčka byla ve věku zařaditelným do ženské kategorie, dále jedna juniorka, dvě kadetky a čtyři žákyně, kdy nejmladší je 12 let !!! a i ta si zahrála 3 sety. Děvčata se velmi snažila a myslím si, že zápas byl po sportovní stránce velmi slušný a jediné co nám chybí jsou zkušenosti, na kterých se však tvrdě maká.

[vkkv]

22. Nothing more pathetic than a STALKER who stalks the wrong person!

[snooper2]

23. damn, I thought we were just becoming friends!

you work things out with Stryder via PM?

[Stryder]

25. I guess when

you call for the death penalty for destruction
of property. And you do it on a somewhat progressive
discussion board, some folks may think you're an asshole.
Seems pretty straight forward to me.

[vkkv]

17. I've just noticed.. over 27,000 posts here at D.U. and you can't even donate a small

amount to a place where you obviously spend SO MUCH TIME?

I do hope it's not wrong to think of you as an entitled 'taker' who wants the entire world for free.

"Snooper".. kind of similar to "Stalker", isn't it?

[snooper2]

19. yes- the WORLD is FREE for me...shit, didn't even pay for gas this morning

[vkkv]

21. Free gas, cool. Then you should be able to donate some $$ to D.U. since you spend SO MUCH

time here, right Stalker?

[Travis_0004]

26. Last time I checked DU is a for profit website

Nothing wrong with that, but nothing wrong with not donating.

[Skittles]

4. gun humping yahoos

idiots

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. You can bet they are Rump supporters. n/m

[OnyxCollie]

7. Now why couldn't they die from heat stroke?

Assholes.

I've been to Death Valley five or six times. It's my favorite place to visit. I've seen Devil's Hole.

Assholes.

[FLSurfer]

8. I was in Ash Meadows last week

and kind of blown away seeing the pupfish.
In the middle of a desert, there is a spring that has apparently never gone dry.
Ever, I guess. Or else the Pupfish wouldn't be here.
I wonder why these humans lack the capacity to understand how rare these fish are?

[jpak]

9. TAKE...THEIR...GUNZ!!!111

yup

[Alkene]

10. Perhaps they were inspired...

...by US foreign policy,
with the underwear substituting for depleted uranium.

[yellowcanine]

12. Did some members of the Bundy gang escape the roundup?

[closeupready]

14. Typical.

[bemildred]

15. Well they have their DNA anyway ... nt

[maxsolomon]

24. if they haven't caught them

how do they know they were drunk? maybe they vomit recreationally.

maybe they felt threatened by the locks on the gates and had no choice but to shoot them. you don't know.

NEVER ASSUME!
