Literally practicing the Filipino saying "bato, bato sa langit; ang tamaan huwag magalit" (stone, stone from the sky; don't be angry when hit) can have bad repercussions.
Twenty-year-old vlogger Katie Sigmond earned her karma for her recent dangerous stunt made at the edge of the Grand Canyon's South Rim, east of Mather Point, Arizona in October. The Grand Canyon law enforcement called her after she posted a video of the stunt for her 10 million TikTok and Instagram followers to see.
The next thing, the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service issued her tickets or federal violation notices for hitting a golf ball on the edge of the canyon. She was charged with tossing items into the Grand Canyon, littering, and creating hazardous conditions with disorderly conduct as she also lost grip of the club and it flew over the canyon, USA Today reported.
"A spokesman for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts confirmed to The Republic that the Central Violations Bureau received two payments of $155 and $130 from Katie Sigmond on 15 Nov." according to the report, referring to fines she paid for two of the offenses.
Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose fared worse at the rock band's recent concert in Adelaide, Australia.
Spectator Rebecca Howe told Adelaide Advertiser that she suffered two black eyes because of his wild antics on stage. Fortunately, she did not lose her eye or teeth and survived Rose's projectile, Howe said, according to Fox News.
Upon learning about a fan who got injured at the Adelaide Oval after the band finished its final song, Rose went on Twitter to announce that they will no longer toss the mic or anything to the crowd to signal the end of their performance to ensure the safety of the audience, Fox News reported.
Not everyone, however, was happy with the frontman's decision to end the band's 30-year concert tradition. GNR fans look forward to the mic toss to get a souvenir from the band like the lucky Australian who caught the one that hit Howe in the face.
