The following excerpt is from an article first posted in the Columbus Dispatch:
Yellow caution tape flapped in the wind, crisscrossing the entrance of a mausoleum erected nearly 100 years ago.
It’s the latest sign of vandalism at Green Lawn Cemetery, where more than 600 grave sites have been damaged in the past two years at a cost of more than $1 million.
The latest incident occurred on Jan. 9 when a man entered through a broken fence and damaged a mausoleum and eight grave sites before grabbing a fistful of American flags from the graves of veterans and lighting them afire. He tossed the burning flags into a brush pile — an act caught by a security camera — before leaving the cemetery.
“Fences are a lot like locks. They keep honest people out,” said Randy Rogers, a trustee on the cemetery’s volunteer board.
The cemetery has grave sites of five governors and five Medal of Honor recipients, including Civil War veteran Ovid Smith, whose marker was damaged by vandals on Aug. 14.
Since the police haven’t yet identified the perps, with just the fuzzy photo of someone’s back so far, THEN WHY ARE SO MANY COMMENTATORS SO QUICK TO BLAME ANYONE OR ANY GROUP THAT THEY HATE??
Just shows the emptiness inside the heads & hearts of such commentators!!
