why would anyone want to vandalise someone's grave? have people no respect?

An historic cemetery in Canada's capital was vandalised earlier this year.

Sadly, such acts are sometimes hate crimes, directed against particular religious groups. Most often it's gangs of the usual drunken, egocentric teenaged thugs.

In this case, it was just one guy and they aren't saying yet what his motive was.

It does seem that it's a way of just making it really obvious how little respect one does have, and upsetting as many people as possible.

Some people simply don't have respect for anything or anyone. It's disgusting.
I use the term people loosely, what I mean't was MORONS.

I wonder what these people that do this would say if it happened to one of their loved ones graves!!.Makes me mad .I think it is sometimes kids off their heads and they go on a rampage thinking it is just a laugh.

If people don't respect they living, why would they respect the dead? As I said on my thread earlier, I despair!

Helen Report 10 Jun 2010 21:32

We have had this happen to us. Our son had only been gone 6 months when things started going missing from his grave. Very upsetting. If I had got my hands on them, they would have been knocked into the middle of next week. The sort of people that get off doing this are the lowest of the low. I am a firm believer in karma, and they will get whats coming to them eventually.

The lowest of the low, the biggest cowards around.
These morons think they're so 'big'.
if they're so 'big' why don't they attempt to destroy something where they can be seen/admonished/confronted?
It's moronic numpties who need a big dose of reality - or preferably a slap!

....I'm first in line.......

CCTV's in cemeteries is a good idea.
Remove them from the high street and replace the high street with policemen patrolling on foot.
