He's going to regret saying that he doesn't care about a fine when it comes time for the judge to decide whether or not he needs jail time.

Jokes on him. In Hawaii the judges are all monk seals.

Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk has been charged with harassing and attempting to harass an endangered Hawaiian monk seal, in violation of the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act. 

The 38 year-old from Covington was detained by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration special agents on Wednesday near Seattle.

I hope they throw the rock at him.

TIL the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has special agents.

Most agencies do have some form of enforcement arm. The ones that don't get stuff to do that often do not fuck around.

My brain deleted the word seal from that sentence and I was stuck by the dual thoughts of "man that guy is a dick" and "how can monks be endangered?"
