On Saturday, Miroslav Milosevic, a well known member of the Resistance from Pozarevac, invaded the grave of Slobodan Milosevic through his neighbour's courtyard and put up a hawthorn stake, report Serbian media.
The time of vampires
He visited Milosevic's grave twice that Saturday: the first time at 1 A.M., when he wrote the following words in the Book of Memory: "Dark to dark, he is buried in the dark, my mother rests in a grave, and not in a courtyard, it is midnight, the deaf night, the time of vampires, this time I came without anything, without a hawthorn stake, and next time I will come with the hawthorn stake."
He fulfilled his promise in the afternoon of the same day, when he brought a hawthorn stake and drove it in the grave.
Milosevic family will sue the Resistance member
- I called the police on my cell phone and let them know where I was and what I was doing and they responded by telling me to be careful or Milosevic's hand might get me from the grave. After I had staked the grave, I went and reported myself to the police. Later I gave a statement to Milan Sucurovic and he told me that late Milosevic's daughter-in-law Milica Gajic had filed charges against me for defiling the grave and that they would forward the report to the public prosecuror's office said M. Milosevic.
This was my task in the name of the Resistance
- The very act of entering the Milosevic family's courtyard and putting the hawthorn stake was my task in the name of the Resistance, but I wanted to do it in a more painless way, without any conflict with the people who would be at the grave that day he confessed.
The stake ought to have been from an ash tree, not a hawthorn. Tradition calls for the same tree species on which Judas hanged himself.
Details, details... :-)
The devil is in details, and so is the vampire. Regular bullets do not work on them, only the silver ones do, and even then - only those made by melting down silver coins with a cross on them. In every demonology or inquisition manual you will find that the details such as these are all-important.
Unless you know the vampire's nationality, you may be in for a LONG day:

Well, incineration works; garlic oil works; large bath of concentrated sulfuric acid works, too [if hot] - it dissolves the vampire.
Um, whereupon he comes back to life, moves Fred Gwynne's body to the pet sematary, and then kills him when *he* comes back to life.
Yeah. That's it.

I thought it was a stake made from holly? Also didn't realize that silver bullets had exact specifications about their origin. I'm still in the garlic and holy water mode.
Whatever, good on this guy. He recognizes evil, while us civilized folks give evil a free pass.
I personally killed 3 [one was a 7-pointer, with seven teeth] using silver bullets.

If the steak is too tough, never drive it into a grave. Just send it back to the kitchen.
Buffy the Slobo Slayer?
kosta ..your take on this and any cultural take on it?
Resistance (in Serbian: Отпор or Otpor)

Bought and paid by a portion of the $25 million US government distributed to various groups to bring down the regime of President Miloshevich in Serbia (then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia).
They could be called 'activists' of foreign interests, consisting of pretty much do-nothing opporutnist. Organizationally immature, they tried to form a political party and failed in 2003, having received a total of 1.6% of the total vote.
They are now morphed into Tadich's Democratic Party (which seems to be a magnet for various oddballs just like Chedo Yovanovich's Liberal Democratic Party, formerly asscoiated with Tadich, which is itself made up of pretty much all the traitors one could muster in Serbia).
One of their biggest protectors and mentors was the assassinated Prime Minister Zoran Djindjich, who made spinless opprotunism his personal trademark.
This incident only shows what calibre of humanity these activists belong to. After Miloshevich stepped down, they appointed themselves as new "reovlutionary guards" who were supposed to "monitor corruption." They are so stupid, I would be surprised if they can button their own shirts.
This article attests to that.

Soft point or ballistic tip?
Baaah, people think casting silver bullets is easy,
it just means they have never tried to do it.
Wait till I get the patent on my "Compound" Stake driver!
Say, I'll have to remember this stake driving thing once
Hillery! is in her grave, but I suppose they wouldn't let me
in to Arlington to do it huh.
I saw a movie--the "Satanic Rites of Dracula"(with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee if I recall)--where hawthorn was deadly to ol' Dracula 'cause tradition said the crown of thorns was made from this wood...
"Good evening. I am your host...Count Slobbo..."
dum-dum, with a cross-shaped perpendicular cuts in the nose.
Remember, those are unlawful in the state of California to
take vampires at any time, including self defense.
Non-lethal methods must be used so the vampire can receive the treatment it is so desperately crying out for.
Note, stakes CAN be used but only during "primitive" hunts.
Ash tree is not from the movies, but from the good old medieval practice. Hawthorn works much worse- one could not get a stake sufficiently thick and sturdy, as hawthorn is a thin plant. Just look at that photo. His, excuse me, "stake" is something like an inch in diameter. It is more like a rod for chastising. And a proper ash stake would be at least 2, or still better, 3 inches thick.
Nah, they are only illegal during their breeding season. And in my day there was no bag limit for them, either.
Your 'probly right--I seem to remember Chris Lee gettin' trapped in a jagger bush (I think it was supposed to be hawthorn) and being immobilized enough so Pete Cushing could stake him proper with a fence post. A hawthorn stake would 'probly only have given him slight discomfort.
