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 don't Mel.

don't take it personally, some wreck graves others wreck conversations on web sites.

it's a shit world we live in and shit happens.

I'm sorry if it's a loved ones grave wrecked, If I was you I would say F*** em and rebuild it if I cared enough

yes this is particulary upsettin as a memorial has been stolen also I really don't know how low folks can sink x

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.

its a friends and it's her 14 year old daughter that found the grave in this state ~ hope she can get passed it hard enough caring for her Mum thro her cancer x

my thoughts exactly Catherine x

sorry to hear that Mel x

it's very upsettin Rach it's not what yu expect in a place of peace x

no it isn't lovie but sadly it happens some people have no shame

no they don't have no shame I agree and if they can't have respect in these circumstances can they respect themselves x

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!

I am have no answers Mel just that WE should make sure that we are good people

very true Rach x

no Jane they would not be happy x

Rose I agree wat sort of world is this x

I am not shocked about the desecration of graves....just that we allow it .

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.

{{{{{hug}}}}} Helen my niece just told me after they buried her 2 week old son the same happened to his grave its very sad x

but what can we do Uzzi CCTV the cemetarys? x

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.
