    I wonder what, or who turned them over to the law? I mean there had to have been someone on youtube who knew where the tower was and probably turned them over to the law?

    Doesn't seem that way. If you read the newspaper article, they were caught at a roadblock (not sure why that was set up); evidence of their repeated bombings was found through interviews and confirmed by evidence of their video camera.

    So despite what some people might think, there actually was some good investigative work going on.

    I don't care if they are teenagers, give them the max they can get. I let alot of things go but messing with my woods and messing with history just P me off and there is no obvious reasons for their aggression on a tower. I work at a morgue so I don't have as much compassion for people as I probably should cause I see it all and people aren't nice.

    Larry, according to the article, they went through a traffic checkpoint and an officer noticed a cut Forest Service gate lock in the car. Escalated from there.

    from their pictures they look like the 'reject society' types. they just chose the wrong society to reject.

    i remember a few years ago i saw on TV some young teens who would burn entire houses that were for sell in developed neighborhoods out west, then they would film them from the distance.

    Hope they get the book thrown at them. What bugged me is how the reporter in the TV news piece refered to those involved as "young boys" when they are nothing of the sort, but young men/adults.

    Oh yeah, and play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Not to argue, but why desecrate the "new" tower with their worthless, scummy, impotent teabags? I say feed 'em to some maggots instead.

    Is this the thing in VT? I know that a shelter there was set on fire, and they definitely think it was arson, and they're trying to find any info on who might have done it. This isn't the same thing, right?

    All structures on the AT should be torched.
    Torch 'em with extreme prejudice and omit nothing, and I fully expect all the shelter-haters to support me.
    They're hypocrites if they don't.
