Cemetery Culprits Captured
Last week, Channel 9 News in Denver reported that the vandals who destroyed headstones at Mountain View Cemetery in Longmont, Colorado have been captured. That is, except for one.
Nineteen-year-old John Heston, who fled out of state, is being charged with criminal mischief and desecration of a venerated object. Police say they are trying to extradite Heston for his involvement. The seven other people, including six juveniles and a twenty-one-year-old who has not been named, are cooperating.
Earlier this summer, the suspects reportedly damaged or destroyed over 150 headstones. This included a Civil War monument, which was toppled from its pedestal. The head was broken off from the soldier statue, but was discovered nearby a few days later.

You know other people who have the know-how will be fixing these statues. Why not make these kids help those people-then take them to the cemetery and fix the statue-then do 1 year of community service mowing, weeding, putting flags on the graves and shoveling the snow AND anything else we can think of? How would they like their grandparents graves disturbed?
Great idea!
