I was just there a few days ago 😢
There's always that one asshole. It doesn't look like it was done with a plasma cutter. That's a blade cut. Cutting it down won't stop people from going there. Now there's going to be more people going to look at it. Someone will replace it. I'm sure there's a hiker that's a welder. They do it for free to keep their childhood memories going
we need a Live cam up there.
California.......not surprised..lovely group of people in that state.
Not all of us are a-holes.
CA is the 5th largest economy. without CA America would be in worse condition
Rebuild it and fill it with rocky concrete
No. Get rid of it.
if the top half is still there just send a welder up to weld it back together.
It's ok again. Hoping it stays that way.
It’s time to make vandalism a felony crime. That includes car breakins, windows, etc ANY damage will be a felony automatically. Once found they get a mandatory sentence of no less than 15 years. Full stop.
$10,000 minimum fine + 6 months minimum jail time for these nut jobs.
Who would take a reciprocating saw hiking?
And that's how sick our society is.
A bunch of pole smokers no doubt...
That pole was everything to everyone..very sad
If they find the person who did it I suggrst tying him to the cut pole for 3 days and let people give him the proper treatment and make him known to everyone as the ahole who did it!
Broooo I am legally blind
I used to go up there... rode my mountain bike up a few times as well. it got to where i could hike up but my knees would be killing me on the way down. getting old sucks
rebuild it and make a better one. it's just a pole... forget the loser who cut it.
They seem very motivated! A bit to motivated. How is the local budget? I find a direct correlation with mass surveillance projects. The data is there.
Geeze, they won't stop at anything. Goodbye, California. You're lost
I blame aliens
Lol wth is wrong with this world
Who would steal something like that? Honestly, it may be iconic, but it's also kinda weird and confusing. Are those pipe ends? Do you look through them like a telescope?
You cannot announce who did that
So much vandalism in east bay parks.
Little Yosemite graffiti gals I'm sure just got a scolding
The vandals took the handle?
and they skedaddled leading to this scandal
Appreciate the source! ❤
Hope it wasn’t a Karen or ken that lives around there
Looks like it was vandalism when it was put up.
SOME PEOPLE WANT THE WORLD TO BURN!!!!
You my friend, was watching the Dark knight on TNT earlier huh?
There’s always some pencil neck (thanks Ray Stevens) who’s gotta spoil it for everybody.
I used to make that hike back when there was an air strip next to Fremont Drag Strip.
For $20.00 they’d tow you up in a glider and the pilot would glide around the peak.
Ahh the good old days when you could go to the Saturday matinee at the Center theater for three Pepsi Cola bottle caps or you could get a free pass from Pond’s Manor Pharmacy from Mrs. Pond.
Fremont Drag Strip, man, what a place, great memories.
Golden Gate Bridge next?
Demons walk among us , and are all around us .... they look just like ordinary people !
That hike looks depressing.
It really is overrated
what's depressing is getting old and not being able to go up there any more
Sad. I had a picture arm baring the top of the pole with my team 16 years ago. 😝
This just never ends.
Many people thought, there were the park cut it down because people climb on top of the pole.
Rebuild it with solid metal. No way it will get cut down again.
Get another pole.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Hopefully the base will come off and clean up nice. With some luck nobody will even be able to tell it was ever there.
We’ll see it on pawn stars I’m the future 😅
😱😱😱😱😱 OHHH SHITTTT!!!!! NOW THIS ABSOLUTELY FOUL!!!!!!!!
Good luck in understanding the why. It is no easier than decoding the meaning of life.
Normal San Francisco
@kmd5551 It's not San Francisco
Fremont smart commenter
@@Deflow91 😉
Fremont is across the bay, 40 miles from San Francisco and just a normal suburbia, NOTHING like San Francisco
I have to say. That place looks like Mother Natures cottonmouth.
It's messed up that we can't have nice things anymore but people were making this thing into an idol. It's pathetic the way some people responded to it being cut. Let it go and move on lol.
Zzzzzzzzz
Fremont is the best to live RIGHT
Really??@@jasonsmith1143
Why was there no Security at the top of the hill, I wonder.
Actually rangers are up there
must have missed it
So you are expecting 24 hr security for every landmark? Are you willing to donate to the cause?
