This is the only correct answer. It's a sacred site to the Lakota Sioux, isn't it? I don't think non-Lakota deciding to blow it up further is any less harmful than what the US has done to it.

The sacred black hills. It’s where their people originated, the equivalent of the garden of Eden. Even the Supreme Court recognizes that it was wrong to take it, but they’re only offering monetary compensation (which the Lakota have refused to take) and no real land back.

I'm pretty sure there's not a single Lakota person that would object to blowing it up

maybe the monument itself, but I'd imagine they would be staunchly against damaging the mountain
