Unfortunately, as the population grows so does the half that's below average intelligence.

I'm not a vindictive person, but I do wish the mama bear had been close by.
That would have been a video worth seeing. In fact, the only thing left intact would have been the phone.

Oops! Didn't realize this needs a facebook account to view.

It is a funny little skit where a young woman drops something and a young man picks it up to hand to her.

He notices her necklace and asks where she got it. She says her best friend gave it to her when they were kids, but he disappeared on a hiking trip, most people think he may have been eaten by a bear.

The necklace is of cat shaped like half a heart. The young man reaches inside his shirt and pulls out the mating half. She looks at him with wide eyes and questions, "Kevin?" He says, "no, I'm Jay and I found this in a pile of bear poop. Your friend Kevin definitely got eaten by a bear, that't crazy."

This always has been, but it accelerated sharply during Covid and shows no sign of slowing down. People from the city that belong in the city. They are entitled, rude and generally pigs and do not understand anything about nature. They are still their city selves, not even seeing what is there, and annoying anyone who are quiet and respectful of others. I live in the middle of a 280k acre state forest, and it has changed. I doubt it goes back. These people do not belong in the forest.

Don't even get me started on the side by sides...........

At the very least, we can blame some of the behavior on alcohol in this case

The fact they turned themselves in is a positive sign, hopefully the prosecutor and judge will consider this and their sentence will be limited to community service cleaning up the ocean or beaches. I doubt they were sober when they dumped the trash cans.

You always make me laugh, turned themselves in, seriously?
There is a video recording of them in the act, it's not as if they can deny it.
Nothing more than a bunch of spoiled rich kids doing something stupid on someone else's boat.
IMO, It's just a lack of respect all around, for the environment, other boaters, the law and themselves.
They're lucky the Coast Guard didn't catch them

My point was putting them in jail for a few months does little to undo the harm they did and would cost the taxpayers a few thousand dollars that could be better used elsewhere. If they are spoiled rich kids a fine will have little impact on them or the environment. Having them spend a couple hundred hours cleaning up beaches would. What would you propose an appropriate punishment would be?

I can think of a few...
Public flogging, stocks, T and F... you get the idea.

And how that would undo the harm their stupid act did? My thinking is that the consequences of getting caught should not be limited to being punished, it should include a requirement that the perpetrator must undo the damage they did. If they spend the next 52 Saturdays removing garbage from beaches or parks for 8 hours, they will feel punished and they will have undid, at least some of the damage they did. If the right people are assigned to supervise them, maybe they can instill in them, a respect for the environment they obviously don't have now. If all you do is publicly flog them, all you will do is turn them into angry young men, no lesson learned.

I was born and raised in a city and have resided in cities all my life. I have enjoyed time outside cities including wilderness canoe and kayak camping trips, back country hikes etc. I strongly disagree with your rude generalization of people from the city. @holes come from everywhere not just cities.
