Do you know how to search for fresh AP stories? - Kiro TV (CBS affilliate) just ran a story here that may depress you too. I hate to bring everyone down, but you know the big Masonic Cemetery here in Tumwater at Cleveland Avenue? It was hit by vandals last night! "more than 70" tombstones where overturned, broken or smashed, the night before Memorial Day! The first people to discover it this morning were people bringing flowers to place there.
They showed pictures on KIRO 7 news, but they have not posted the story to their website (at least yet, I keep looking). I have tried searching for any news of it that would be suitable for posting here. I don't know if I would actually post it here though, it would just make everyone sad. The Olympian (local paper) hasn't posted it and probably won't till tomorrow, but I imagine press releases have been done.
It is so depressing, and I don't know anyone buried there. I just imagined, after my involvement in the cleanup at the local cemetery where my Mom and grandparents are, that if this happened there I would be prone to murder. I boil thinking about it. The pictures on the news were so sad with the old toppled stones and the poor crushed widow they interviewed. Those stones are so expensive, and there were so many. I just want to cry. scratch that... I already have been.
Sorry to be such a downer. I really just want to know if any of you know the secret to searching for news like this.
