The H Rock, photographed Monday, Aug. 15, 2022 in Salt Lake City, was altered to show a large Roman numeral "III." According to family friends, the siblings of John Richards III painted the Highland High School spirit symbol in memory of their brother who died a year ago.
A friend of Richards passed along a message from his father who noted Richards’ siblings painted the rock to mark the one-year anniversary of his passing. Richards was student body president at Highland High School and graduated in 1988., died unexpectedly on Aug. 11, 2021, and was a graduate of Highland High School.
“John could find joy even in life’s most challenging times, and he could make an ordinary moment become a unique adventure,” the obituary says Richards.“His infectious personality, relentless enthusiasm,and welcoming presence will be sorely missed,” the firm wrote on their founding attorney.

Yeah, the reason this type of apologist nonsense works: I’d LOVE to believe that they were only honoring their brother.
Nobody, I repeat, nobody is that tone-deaf. This wasn't just a memorial, probably an alibi.
Only slightly less offensive than the three percenter story. This whole UT thing about painting rocks is just absurd and phony to start with.
They're honoring a far-right anti-government militia. They're domestic terrorists.
