Apparently after this he also hit some locals on their fists with his face. I hope the seal and their fists are okay.

He's the one who got the beating after the locals found out about it and he told them that he doesn't care about getting fined because he's rich.
You may need to take a second read of the comment you're replying to.
damn
I'm not one to call for doxing this person, but I'm sure one could easily find where this person works and let that company know what they think. Just talking out loud.
Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk (yes, that's his name)
Let's throw the book at this guy like he threw rocks at that seal. Fucking piece of shit.
"the man told witnesses that he was “rich enough to pay the fines" and walked away as Lani was immobile in the water"
Since this asshole is already "rich enough" let's make him famous as well.

Time to tie the fine to a fraction of percent worth, like how the Europeans do it.
It just makes since. A fine is just a price, a percentage makes sure people feel it as much as a given law wants them to.
I read somewhere a random local gave him a couple of punches after the news went viral.
"Don't worry guys. Alohandle this cunt." — some local
That local should be eligible for sainthood, or at least a key to the city
You'll be glad to hear that the anonymous local was awarded the highest honor the city could bestow: the Ambassador of Aloha.
Someone needs to fish the rock out, hand it back to him and drop him in the arctic. Let him argue with a polar bear on how is wealth protects him.
Alternatively, mob justice.

Ah, South American style.
Bless you.
I feel sorry for the seal. What a complete asswipe. Boot the Ukrainian out of the USA so he can throw hand grenades at the Russians.
He will be appointed the new head of US Fish & Wildlife
allegedly throwing rock
Isnt there a video, what do they mean allegedly?
It's the dumb thing where they have to cover their ass legally. If the guy goes to court and somehow wins by convincing them it "slipped" from his hand then he could turn around and sue all the outlets who said he threw it
I imagine the more logical argument would be "I threw the rock, but it wasn't at the seal" rather than "it slipped out of my hand at a high velocity"
That'll get you killed on my beach.
Biggest issue is keiki and tourists crowding the seals when they come on shore to take pictures, and the seals get nervous and head back into the water. But sometimes you get local kine just as disrespectful.
But also..
Special agents with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration arrested Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk near Seattle
wut...
As it so happens, it did nearly kill him. Some locals beat the shit out of him afterwards.
But hey, he said he could afford the fine, so I’m sure he could afford the medical bills too.
Fun fact: NOAA, although not a military service, is considered one of the 8 "uniformed services" of the US, which includes the 5 military services, the Coast Guard, NOAA, and the US Public Health Service.
Wait so they actually have official uniforms? I know the Surgeon General has a very cool military looking one
They do. Here's the official photo of the current Director of the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps, Rear Admiral Chad M Cary.
Seriously infuriating.
Wrong sub then.
This is actually infuriating! 🤬
WTF is wrong with some people
Alleged? There is video of it.
Legal jargon. You have to say “alleged” until he’s proven guilty in a court of law, no matter how compelling the evidence is
You don't have to, it just reduces exposure to lawsuits.
Thank you.
Throw his ass in the volcano.
Garbage human. I hope karma catches him.
Sentence him to a high security mental ward.
