Wow, they’re doing the right thing. I’m proud of them for this.
“Good for them”
I agree. Why should the killer of these innocent little ones be rewarded by being buried next to them. Meanwhile, their Mom is where? Buried in some shallow grave or in a barrel somewhere? If they ever find her body, perhaps her family can purchase the grave so she can be buried next to her sons.
I'm guessing they each chipped in $5 and then "dipped into" county funds for the rest of the dough.
Powell was a creep, no doubt. But is this what we want law enforcement to do? It's just about 1 step removed from using the power of the law to piss on a bad man's grave. That's not government's function.
If the sperm donor is buried in one of the plots adjacent to these plots (so there is a blank plot between the boys and their murderer), I’m wondering if anyone would be allowed to erect a headstone on the empty plot that says, “These children here were murdered by that scumbag over there”?
Or, perhaps, “Public Restroom >>>>>”
“Pet Relief Station >>>> “
Just an idea.
Why should the tax payers pay for those plots, because a few cops are sour about the dad?
nah. The wrong people doing the right thing -- does not add up to a right. They should have approached family members and worked it that way - that would at least show some deference to the rights and responsibilities of someone besides cops.
The steady creep of the heavy hand of government continues, now invading even our cemeteries.
Question for all...if the person who bought the plots had been the owner of the local Blockbuster, or a clerk at the local Sears or Safeway who’d lived cheap and had a lot saved up, would any of your beefs still hold?
They’re doing a decent thing...the fact they’re cops is irrelevant in this case imo.
