An example needs to be made. As a genealogy buff this makes me crazy. These people have affected descendants from now on, and its not like African-Americans don't have a difficult enough time finding genealogical information.

These perpetrators should have a very hard time of it.

[TXBlair]

Disgraceful.

I reckon they ain’t making any more [burial plot] land.

Bodies Dug Up . . .(Chicago suburb)

It's a Get Out The Vote effort.

[bgill]

After a grave was disinterred, they basically just dumbed the bodies

That sure messes with the bell curve.

I wonder if that is a picture of the cemetery managers and owners?

"Officers finally raided the cemetery, at 4400 W. 127th St., when the gates opened up at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday because they knew the media had gotten wind of the story and they didn't want that to impede the investigation or alarm loved ones." I hope the police had time to work the case thoroughly and had everything in line when they made the arrests.

What people will do for money. It’s disgraceful.

[taxtruth]

Sick!

[TASMANIANRED]

What scum.

[freekitty]

Geez, what kind of people come from Chicago. Oh, I forgot Obambi and doesn’t Hillary hail from IL only to fake herself into NY?

[TYVets]

Just another example of the Chicago way of doing things.

“After a grave was disinterred, they basically just dumbed the bodies, the bones, the remains,” Dart said.

Dumbed the bodies?

I guess they sent them to public School AND they voted?

Do these reporters proofread anymore?

[wideminded]

While going through some old family records I once came across a deed to a family burial plot in a well-known cemetery outside a large American city. Included with the deed was a map that showed two empty spaces remaining in the plot. I have always wondered, if I took the time to visit, whether I would find the empty spaces filled, and whether the filled spaces would now be occupied by persons unrelated to me.

[Lurker]

Just when you think the cesspool to my East can't sink any lower they show you they can.

So do these bodies still vote in the district where they were originally buried or do they have to register at their new address?
