Monumental Vandalism

Some idiots decided to spray paint the monuments in a cemetery. My boss decided to help and I got 4 seconds on TV. That is me doing a starburst with hammer and chisel.

That is not the 1st time. I am in all their commercials and newspaper articles. I am either in my carving suit or it is just my hands most of the time. Autographs are only $5... !*roll-laugh*! !*lho*!

Makes me want to spit. How about some re-education with a Louisville Slugger?

This is the kind of thing, that is the reason I do things like go to my dentist the other day, and my hygienist is openly talking about their armed group on the other side of town.
The same gangster wannabes that do this kind of thing, are the same ones that ride their stupid scooters in a Kamikaze run at my bike, when I try to ride in the afternoon on my bike.
I've noticed they are only brave when the odds are 10 plus or more against one.
The police are useless. The people of this country are going to have to do something about it themselves.

I just had some fun. While I was writing this "Microsoft Tech Support" called.
I answered in my well practiced Hindustani accent "Hello Criminals, Yes Please, How may I help you?" there was silence and then a quick hangup. !*roll-laugh*!

They were not lil' 25 to 30 range drinking and doing those new drugs with the exotic names. They have them in sight and when done they will not be repaying but doing work in the cemetery.

Two months ago, we did another replacement for some people. They had a large black monument with racing cars etched and painted really nice. One was Dale Earnhart's car. Some fool did not like him so he took a sledge hammer to the stone to eliminate the car. He just beat it up. My boss got them a new stone only this time it had a huge eagle and American Flag etched in the background and and the 2 cars were back but the work was done by our etcher who has a $1.5 million laser etching machine. It looks 1,000 times better than their originl stone and probaly cost 3 times more than the original and he gave it to them for free. The cemetery is local, like right down the street. This person was not caught. Yet anyway.

Good to hear that violent, revengeful solutions are not the only ones to such despicable problems. !*salute*!
