Vengeful Gravestones

It seems like a dangerous activity if you’re in the business of vandalizing church cemeteries.

In April a man vandalizing a cemetery by knocking over gravestones in Lilburn, GA was injured when one of the gravestones fell on him. His leg was crushed under the weight of the heavy stone and he lay on the ground wailing for two hours until someone came and rescued him.

You have to wonder if any passerby thought the cemetery was haunted that night.

Then, on May 6th, Michael Schreiber, 22, was in the midst of vandalizing a Calumet Park cemetery in Merrillville, Ind., when his legs were broken by a half ton gravestone that fell on him. He couldn’t call out for help as he was unconscious.

He’d already knocked over 14 gravestones when the half ton one fell on him.

It was about time one fought back.

    It sure was about time one fought back. I sure wouldn’t be too happy if that was the gravestone of one of my loved ones.

    The old saying, you play you pay.

    While I don’t wish ill on anyone – the saying: “what goes around, comes around” certainly applies. Hopefully he’s learned his lesson.
