Quotes from story:

Two people wanted in connection with the attempted sale for scrap in Queen Anne's County of metal grave markers from veterans' graves in Delaware have been located and served with charging documents.

.....to sell between 60 and 70 American Legion and VFW grave markers.....

.....paid $98 for the markers and was told it was the fifth time since September that Benson and Guest had sold similar markers......

About 25 veterans' grave markers also were recovered......

sounds like they need a grave marker of their own....one big huge pile of dog ****

Just goes to show you that, "Welfare" doesn't pay well enough for them to buy smokes, beer and dope, so they have to supplement.

Unfortunately, all they will get is a few days in the local jail.

It's hard not to be cynical about this sort of situation.

Seems that your laws need something added about public flogging!
That or 6 months of bootcamp.

[Starvnhuntr]

Our laws need something like if your old enough to know better, steal anything you lose your hand.

[Chicken Thief]

That's called Sharia and used by muslims!

All to lenient; I prefer Rule 7.62 of the Uniform Code of Field Justice................

the scrap dealer didn't notice a bunch of crosses out in the scrap pile or on the back of the truck???

[koehn,jim]

Seems to me the dealer should be charged, this was the 5th time since Sept. If there is no market the thefts stop.

Actually the state of Delaware, Where the thefts happened, was the last state to use whipping as a punishment. The last whipping occurred in 1952 and the punishment was removed from criminal code in 1972. Here is a link with pictures:

I wonder how many of those grave markers they can swim with? We should conduct a deep water swim test.

[RED333]

keel haul them, 3 times!!!

[Bad Water Bill]

How about we make a CONCRETE cast of the markers,put the markers back where they belong then tie the cast around their necks and DEEP SIX the culprits?

I believe that was the original purpose of tar and feathers. It is unfortunate that some of the 'Boston' crew got their tar too hot.

As far as I'm concerned the scrap dealer is culpable in this, big time!
