It always saddens and angers me when I read things such as this. My husband’s kin folka are buried in this cemetery along with many of my research friends kinfolks.

Whomever is in charge of the maintenance cemetery funding should consider purchasing surveillance cameras and discretely placing them in various trees so that next time, and I’m sure their will be a next time since they keep getting away with a crime that is apparently so exciting, their faces will be caught on camera and the perpetrator/s can be caught and punished accordingly. Since money most likely will have to be taken from the grounds keeping coffer to pay for cameras, part of the punishment should be requiring the criminals to keep up the cemetery grounds for 2 years free of charge along with replacing the headstones they destroyed and/or damaged. If neither one was performed, jail time should be the consequence.

This is just pure rediculous!
This sort of behavior, needs lots of punishment!
It is disrespect to the deceased and to their families!
Headstones are not cheap!
Hoping that all will be found, and punished
for their crime!!!

I have been in that area a few times since my daughters accident out that way and every time I pass by, the gates is closed and locked. I would not be willing to leave my vehicle sitting on the side of the road. How in the world do these people get out there? I have heard stories about teenagers going out there drinking and partying. I would only guess that they destroyed the graves to possibly try to offend the spirits to make their adventure more exciting. I hope these people are caught and prosecuted. Make them do a lot of community service at all the cemeteries around the area.

This type of vandalism is inexcusable and should not be tolerated. Whoever the people are, and like John Jackson said…these are most likely kids; their parents should be responsible to pay for it. Either by placing a lien on their property, seizure of bank account assets, and if they are of college age, loss of any scholarship and with that if a college picks these kids of on an athletic or other university scholarship, that university should lose it federal funding. If they go in the military, that should also noted as a criminal record….most likely, they would not be let in. It time to stop wrapping kids in a blanket and make them understand that actions have consequences.

If the Politian’s want to help the communities out, laws such as these should be passed.

The person that did this should have to pay for the repairs. A head stone for a grave that is for husband and wife is between 4 and 7 thousand dollars. I know we bought one last year. That was the best price we could find. I think the person that did this should have to go to each person home and tell the next of kin what they did. I would hope that would have to see pictures of these people who have died hear stories of there life. maybe I would hope they would think before doing this again.

Inexcusable, If you could just catch them in the act.

I can not imagine what they would say, but I am sure they would be thinking, I wish I could leave now.
