Honest Illinois mistake. All of the bodies turned up on the voting rolls, so the gravediggers simply corrected an error.
I hope there is a special place in Hell for those who would be this disrespectful of the dead. From a very young age, I was taught to be respectful of the dead and to treat a cemetery as a place of reverence. Misdeeds like this speak volumes about our society.
Could any news media-savvy folks tell me why they include the ages of all the people mentioned in a story, when it's not always all that relevant to the story?
Anyone else who is into Google Earth can see how big this place is. Even with those satellite images you can tell it's a mess in certain areas. I'm surprised they didn't get caught earlier.
Rough images...all of them. My personal feelings do not run to the sentimentality people tend to place on end-of-life rituals. But there's two things you have to respect - the feelings of those for whom these things are important, and the sense of history that's attached to every place of burial. So much of what we know about our past is bound up in what can be learned from headstones and cemetery records.
It's just such a violation, in my opinion, to destroy a family's sense of closure with a loved one's death this way. It's sick and depraved and these thugs deserve to be locked up for a long time. The fact that female is being held at a psyche ward means she will probably get herself a nice cushy psychological diagnosis instead of the ass reaming she deserves in Bull-Dyke City.
I really can't imaginbe how they thought they'd get away with it. It's not like nobody ever visits family graves.
Surprisingly, the younger generations, including mine, don't visit their ancestor's graves like our parents did, and our parents didn't do it like they should have. Old cemeteries, especially small family cemeteries in rural areas, sometimes get lost. Vegetation takes over and people forget about them. Same thing happened to an old cemetery right here in the city. It turned into a wilderness and a haven for winos and the homeless. The sheriff's office took it on as a project and cleaned it up using trustees.
Cemeteries are fucked up enough when they are run normally... What the fuck is the point of piling up a bunch of corpses and labeling them? Also, I don't really get why this is so appalling to people. I mean sure, it's an open and shut case, it's a crime, and it's also immoral. But is this really so "unthinkable"? I bet this same shit is happening at cemeteries all over the world. Seems like people are getting more bent out of shape about this than they are about murders or rapes, which is pretty fucked up if you think about it.
To be fair, families are, and have been, for a couple of decades now, a lot more dispersed than they used to be. Kind of hard to visit Aunt Thelma's grave every sunday when you live 600 miles away from it.
The oldest Cemetary in Shelby County is about two blocks from my office. It hasn't been mowed in... probably 5 years.
Makes one HOPE that there really are ghosts and ghoulies and things that bump in the night. And that they visit the ones who desecrated these resting places.
Obviously, this should not be taken as evidence that all black people are corrupt, lawless, and amoral. Just that these black people are corrupt, lawless, and amoral.
I don't care if Aunt Thelma is is buried 6,000 miles away from you. Nobody has the moral authority to disturb the remains of Aunt Thelma. This is just another example of the advancing moral bankruptcy of Western Civilization.
I really don't think some people in this disgusting civilization will be happy until everyone gets cremated or tossed in body farms with no option for burial.
