Interesting and sad.

A few weeks ago the local AM talk radio in Albuquerque mentioned a couple of different web sites that desecrate the highway memorials families put up. One idiot films/photographs himself with the memorial, and posts disgusting crap about the dead. The other documents going around and pulling down, or destroying the memorials.

In New Mexico, it is illegal to desecrate these roadside memorials.

Personally, I wouldn't put a memorial up. However, I'm never bothered by those who do.

As long as the family maintains or removes them if they can no longer maintain them, I have no problem with them.

Whoops, that should read “web sites by folks who desecrate”

I understand why people want to do this but I really wish they were illegal. As a biker having these at the side of the road when you might need that part of the road to get out of someone who isn’t paying attention’s way could mean I die because of the memorial.
