Yosemite Park Rangers leading the charge

[lonestar50]

Hanging an upside down American flag off El Capitan near firefall. I love it. Here was their statement.

The purpose of this exercise of free speech is to disrupt without violence and draw attention to the fact that public lands in the United States are under attack,” it reads. “The Department of the Interior issued a series of secretarial orders that position drilling and mining interests as the favored uses of America’s public lands and threaten to scrap existing land protections and conservation measures. Firing 1,000s of staff regardless of position or performance across the nation is the first step in destabilizing the protections in place for these great places.”

These losses, while deeply personal and impactful, may also be invisible to visitors and members of the public — we are shining a spotlight on them by putting a distress flag on El Capitan in view of Firefall. Think of it as your public lands on strike.”

On the clock or off the clock?

Regardless, they should be investigated for littering.

He has really subservient thinking towards authority as does Trad. Very alpha.

The laws still apply, regardless of their emotions.

If these guys lose their jobs they could make serious coin selling a T-Shirt depicting this.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

Lol. I love this shit.

When I see events like this take place, it further entrenches my support for reducing government staff.

 

[Hawki97]

I, for one, am proud of these americans and their commitment to flag code - ensuring that the american flag flies above all else.

Laws matter again?

They've always mattered.

I understand. Some people are affected by things much more than others.

 

[Hawki97]

Ouch.

HA,HA. Then they would have to go into DC and clean up that mess, GARBAGE.

 

[Moral]

How about Trump's multi billion dollar crypto scam? Tens of billions in fraud, does that not move the needle for you. That is who you are in party with. On top of all of his convictions. You are a hypocrite and a damn liar.

Northern has ascended to max level troll. I recommend ya’ll put him on ignore. He’s not to be taken seriously.

I completely agree. The federal government should be investigated for littering (mining and drilling as our favored use of public lands) and when found guilty we should get rid of the offenders.

Kudos to park rangers for using their first amendment rights to expose our fraudulent government.

Omfg!! Now the laws apply? GTFO.

I sure wish that damn show ignored content option didn't exist. It's just so tempting sometimes.

You don't have the right to exercise free speech at work.

Don't believe me? Tell your boss he's an asshole and report back.

HR staff are a dime a dozen and add less than they think.

If you really have value to the org you can tell your boss he's an asshole and your job is safe....as long as your value keeps making him look good and on track for his incentive bonus.

I imagine it’s comparable to Heroin addiction. Can’t deny I’ve succumbed to it many times lol.

I don’t think anyone is under the illusion these rangers won’t suffer consequences for their actions. It’s what makes this action that much more admirable. Now, get back to suckling on your kings teet.

Look at you! I'm proud!!

I could easily tell my boss she is an asshole with no repercussions. Probably because I don’t work for an asshole.

We should totally investigate our fraud government for littering and exposing our national parks to drilling and mining though.

These losses, while deeply personal and impactful, may also be invisible to visitors and members of the public — we are shining a spotlight on them by putting a distress flag on El Capitan in view of Firefall. Think of it as your public lands on strike.”

Those responsible for the flag upside down should be jailed.

Those responsible for the flag upside down should be jailed.

For exercising their 1st amendment right. Okay, fascist.

Yes, jail them, as taxpayer I do not approve of such activity going on at a National Park.

 

[franklinman]

Bullshit, you don't really believe that, only the ones you agree with.

 

[HawkNester]

Yes, jail them, as taxpayer I do not approve of such activity going on at a National Park.

I think you should be arrested for being a fascist. Our country has a long history of dealing with fascists such as yourself. Just for clarity sake, are you more upset about the park ranger protest or the white nationalists walking around Des Moines yesterday?

 

[luvmyhawks]

Yes, jail them, as taxpayer I do not approve of such activity going on at a National Park.

And as a taxpayer I don’t approve of our federal government invading our national parks for drilling and mining. We should jail the offenders.

I've never seen the American flag called litter. That's a new one.

Duly noted. Now go home and look for a job. 🖕🏻

If the people who did this were not park employees, then they certainly would face arrest and prosecution.

Were they non-employees? Also, protesting is protected by the first amendment.
