Right. Unless there's harm.

no ham no fowl.

news on supertopo is that ammon got the taser treatment.

I like both, Dope, and Miller that is.

Yeah he got tased in the back of the neck by the rangers, and then they took his BASE rig, AND his wing suit. Fucking rangers.

I think the wingsuit would be cool for climbers taking looong sport falls of 40 or more feet. Would look pretty cool on the way down.

Somewhat have to agree with this, except that the word is "affect". "Effect" is a noun.

Ammon is a cool guy, but making it suck for everyone else is not cool. How about just donating some wag bags or something?

I went to one of those name generator sites and thought of what Ammon means to me. The name came back Solardropper Honeybean....

Don't Tase Me Bro!

OW!, I said don...

OW!! Stop i..

OW!!

And why is that?

Just remember, no matter how much your life stings, this cat might have it worse

as long as it's equal treatment, it's peta approved

The rangers don't just go around tasing people for no reason. He either tried to get away or resisted in some way.

You people who automatically start crying "fucking rangers" every time someone gets busted sound like snot-nosed little punks. You sound especially stoopid when you pass judgment on the rangers after reading two lines in a story. What a bunch of yo-yos.

Even if you were a ranger you'd have to be one demented fuck to even consider using a taser to apprehend a non-violent offender. I mean what the fuck?

Maude: did Jacky Treehorn do that to you as well?

The Dude: No, it was the sherif of Malibu, a real reactionary...

You are an idiot. You are assuming an awful lot. You stoopid punks just assume that if a taser was used it was unjustified. And you idiots wonder why there are access issues and feuds with land managers. Because of stupid stunts like this.

WOW!!! I think a lot of you guys violated rule #1. Why do ya'll care if 1 kinda, sorta good climber is ambassador of some company we never heard of...
Lets debate something good like bolting?!?!?!
Silly Climbers

Yep, shoulda' been "affect. However, "effect" can be a verb, too. Just not the way it got used above.

Dope.

Im glad you feel good about calling people out as snot nosed brats and such after being a member for one day... Actually got the story first hand, so go eat a cack. I dont like any authority figure... Anarchy is where its at, I dont care if its illegal to BASE in Yosemite, it shouldnt be, I dont care what any of you "follow the rules for the good of humankind" "the government needs to hold my hand and show me the way" kind of people think, the second someone tells me I cant jump off a rock, I say go fawk yourself and jump anyway too.
