Iconic Park Rock Destroyed by antifa Democrats, Video Shows

[Biden Dead 120 Days]

OFFICIALS IN OREGON are considering what they should do in
response to a video that appears to show a group of people
knocking over a beloved rock formation.

The Duckbill, a famous stone pedestal at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific
City, Oregon, has long been a favorite landmark for tourists to
photograph. To the chagrin of the state parks department, the
precarious-looking seven-foot-tall stone platform has also been
a popular place to practice yoga poses or take wedding photos,
even though the formation is fenced off from the public.

That local landmark collapsed last week. At first, parks
officials thought it must have fallen over due to natural causes
and the strain of people climbing on it. But they soon found out
that the rock may have been pushed over—and there was a video
that appeared to show this happening.

The footage was captured by David Kalas, who had been filming a
drone video with his friend when he noticed a group of people
seemingly trying to knock over the Duckbill. Kalas whipped out
his cell phone just in time to film the collapse. Afterward, he
confronted the group.

“I asked them, you know, why they knocked the rock down, and the
reply I got was: Their buddy broke [his or her] leg earlier
because of that rock,” Kalas told KATU News. “They basically
told me themselves that it was a safety hazard, and that they
did the world or Oregon a favor.” (Kalas has not yet responded
to National Geographic for comment. No one in the video has been
identified.)

Chris Havel, associate director of the Oregon Parks and
Recreation Department, says the area where the Duckbill
collapsed has been blocked off with fences for decades because
the sandstone is unstable, and therefore unsafe for tourists.

Yet “even though the fences and sign are very clear, the beauty
of the area is a very powerful lure,” Havel says. “People
regularly cross the fence, ignore the warning signs, and go
where they shouldn’t. That is a continuing problem at the park.”
In the past two years, there have been six deaths at Cape
Kiwanda, though not on the Duckbill itself.

Havel says the parks department has been trying to look at what
changes it can make to keep people out of Cape Kiwanda’s
dangerous areas—such as new signs and fences and on-site staff
members who can talk to visitors. The department is also working
with the police to determine what can or should be done in
response to the video.

Since the video went viral, people have begun sharing their
photos of the rock on Instagram using the curious hashtag,
#ripthatpnwrock. Many people have expressed sadness and outrage.
Havel hopes the incident will also prompt reflection.

“Every person that set foot on that rock has worn it down a
bit,” he says. Those people “may be outraged that somebody
pushed the rock over … but likewise, every person who put their
feet on that rock hastened its demise. And they should reflect
on that the next time they want to go do something similar.

“The parks are there for everyone to enjoy,” Havel says.
Visitors shouldn’t “do anything that reduces the enjoyment of
the next person.”
