5. Many jails are full of corona virus.

So this guy could very well get to experience it personally.

12. Travis Co jail doesn't seem to have an outbreak

And that's where he's going....

But he's gonna be in isolation for 10-14 days because those are the rules for new bookings.

So much for free-dumb!!!

6. Looks proud of himself

9. or Idiotus doofusii. Dunno, except this specimen

is now in his native habitat. Jail. And if the ranger was a employed by the NPS, likely federal charges.

13. I think he was employed by the City of Austin or Travis County

14. Charges on the federal level may have shown him a thing or three about being a jerk.

Damn

11. Not a good time to be locked up in jail and head to prison.

He will be one of the first to whine about getting COVID-19 protection there. Count on it... Trumpanzees are all useless degenerates.

4. The MAGA terrorists are a disgusting creatures

this cult of treason is more dangerous to our nation than COVID-19

[cwydro]

8. I always thought Austin was a Dem town.

What a jerk, whatever his politics.

7. Not surprised at all.

Over the past ten years I have seen tourists from everywhere transform from respectful and inquisitive people to self absorbed, self entitled assholes who do shit like this. They do it in city, state, and national parks and all public lands daring one another no social media to out do the last atrocious offense to the park and showing their lack of respect for everyone and everything. And their ignorance.

10. Glad they arrested the little twerp.

Along with any other punishment, hopefully involving some jail time, he should be banned from state and national parks for life.
