  1. Graverobbers. As respect for our country, law, order, culture deteriorates at exponential rate, you'll see these type of things re-emerge from tales of the thought, long-gone past dark ages. This is hundreds of times worse crime than vandalism or property. There should be some sort of banishment, untouchable stigma on these men for this crime. Further, full-scale investigation of wtf these graverobbers MUST BE PART OF ANY SENTENCES IMPOSED, i.e., public knowledge of what were they thinking so we can then expose those seminal interests as ones that caused this aberrant behavior and just end it altogether.

  2. How about also charging them with property theft, destruction of property (the crypts), and criminal trespass too? The thumbnail had me thinking that, as un- P.C. as it might be, some people just look like they are probably stupid.

  3. An ancestor of mine who was an officer in the Civil War had his grave robbed years ago. They took his sword and some bones. Some years later the grave robber listed the sword on eBay and that was how he was caught. Grave robbing is a horrible crime. Thanks to the sheriff's depts. that solved this crime and brought these two men to justice. I am certain the families are grateful for the hard work it took to catch them.

  4. When did religion in the US become an Indiana Jones movie? We need to start to think about other ways of preparing our dead for burial. If we cremated our dead the ashes would be all grave robbers could get. What happened to, "ashes to ashes and dust to dust". Are these two practicing ministers or are they hiding behind religion? They are in the US where the main religion is Christian. The language is English.

  5. My extensive training in the field of phrenology indicates the man on the left has criminal tendencies, look at how close together his eyes are. He had his optometrist remove the bridge from his spectacles for them to fit.
