A man in California was arrested last weekend after a family argument at a funeral turned ugly, resulting in a mass brawl that saw the suspect allegedly hit someone with his car and knock over the casket containing the deceased.(snip)
Lieutenant Matt Stonebraker of the Richmond Police Department told SFGate, the San Francisco Chronicle website, that grass was damaged by the car. Several headstones and vases were also damaged, and a water main was broken close to the funeral plot where the family met, causing flooding in the area.(snip)
After the physical fight, "one of the family members tried to run over his sister with the vehicle" but missed and hit another relative and the water main, Pomeroy told San Francisco Bay Area station KNTV.
He said there was clearly friction between those in attendance, adding, "A family member brought a stun gun to the services because of long-standing family issues."
The injuries suffered by the unnamed relative hit by the car, who is reportedly 33 years old, were described by Pomeroy as "non-life-threatening," according to SFGate.
The car's driver also suffered some minor injuries after reportedly being struck in the head by a family member carrying a cane.
"They used the cane to try to get him under control," Pomeroy told SFGate. "The suspect was hit a couple times. The cane came from someone who was at the funeral. I don't know that they ever identified where the cane came from."(snip)
Police estimated that the incident led to around $20,000 in damage to the property, according to SFGate.
Kamilah Thompson, the manager of Rolling Hills, called the occurrence a "bizarre incident" and not something that regularly occurs at the cemetery.

Above ground water main?
Do I REALLY need to look?
I don’t believe anything that Newsweek prints.
Gotta love that.
Maybe they mean something like a standpipe, rather than an actual “water main.”
“… the manager of Rolling Hills, called the occurrence a “bizarre incident” and not something that regularly occurs at the cemetery.…”
************************************************
A bit of excitement at an otherwise routinely boring place.
....”Kamilah Thompson, the manager of Rolling Hills,.....”
I would guess you really don’t need to look.....Kimilah or Kamalah.....?? our intellectually-chllenged Vice President might find this of interest....
[Sergeant Aaron] Pomeroy... said there was clearly friction between those in attendance... Kamilah Thompson, the manager of Rolling Hills, called the occurrence a "bizarre incident" and not something that regularly occurs at the cemetery.
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
I googled the incident and looked over half a dozen news reports couldn’t find any pictures of the participants or their names.
Musta been them Amish again.
Trashy People Trashing like Trash does.
Wow...they haven’t even gotten to the reading of the will yet.
Perhaps they ought to do that one by Zoom.
I will not judge the ways of other peoples and cultures. I know that all cultures are equal, and none is better than any other. To believe otherwise would be bigoted and rassist.
No reason to. No pictures of the Amish and no Amish names.
Do they have sprinklers in cemeteries?
They don't in my part of the country but you know... California.
“couldn’t find any pictures of the participants or their names”
Odd, isn’t it? ;)
Did he stun gun the deceased ?
