put him in jail for the 10 years.......then line him up at a shop that makes headstones and let him work there the entire time.....

What motivates someone to commit such senseless acts? I will never understand vandalism and especially why anyone would want to destroy monuments that have been placed in memory of deceased loved ones. Grave markers are a tangible reminder of those who meant so much in our lives. I would urge our officials to be extremely aggressive in the prosecution of those who committ these senseless and destructive crimes.

To those who have friends and family buried in the Hatchett Cemetery, I am sorry for this desecration and hope that the right person has been apprehended and that this descruction will cease.

Sad all around....Evil must be punished strongly....

Glad he could get a haircut before the law took his mugshot.

He should have to repair all the headstones and then scrub every marker in the cemetary with ajax and a toothbrush.

Shame on his Dad trying to help disguise his appearance!!!! Did Daddy have a part in this???
