Whitehouse.gov Petition to Find/Prosecute Serial Vandal who Defaced 10 National Parks, Please sign

Cross post from GD...

Hi DU!

As a NPS employee, I see a lot of great people and occasionally a vandal, but this is crazy, selfish and outright disrespectful to all we citizens and to the indigenous cultures whose artifacts have been defiled by this individual.


Casey Nocket describes herself as an "artist" and used paint to create her alleged "art" in publicly held National Parks, and then went on to photograph it and post on Instagram, apparently in an attempt to draw attention to herself.





Please sign and share the petition:

Casey Nocket has traveled around the western US vandalizing National Parks and National Monuments with her alleged "art." She has acknowledged that she is not in the right only in regards to her use of acrylic paints, she responded to a question about her paint materials on Instagram with the comment "I know, I'm a bad person."

Please sign the petition and spread the word!

I don't care how many OPs are posted about it with the links, as long as it gets a lot of traction and the petition tops the minimum... and something is actually done about this.

that she's a "victim" being persecuted for her "art." Girlfriend needs a scrub bucket & a Brillo pad before they throw her arrogant, clueless, entitled ass in the slammer.
