verified People who destroy or vandalize other peoples resting places need help, they are really sick people. I hope the find the perpertrators and do punish them to the fullest extent of the law, not just with a slap on the wrist and say don't do it again. When they are found be juveniles or not, the deserve to have their names in print, the same as an adult commiting a crime.
