I grew up just a few blocks from this cemetery. I don't EVER recall all the drug addicts, etc. Aside from this very obviously racially demeaning stereotype....... the video is okay.

Give it a rest.

This is a terrible cemetery. Weeds everywhere. I visited this place and one of the workers told me I couldn't take pictures. He followed me until I finally got fed up and confronted him. I was going to kick his ass but refrained out of respect for the dead. I suspect they are removing headstones and corpses and don't want the photographic evidence floating on the Internet. Contact me if you suspect the cemetery is trying cover up their misdeeds.

Even in death, you make insulting remarks about people who have their "ostentatious mausoleums & headstones of their east coast counterparts" & it was "unknown to them" that a potter's field would be included. Only a bigot would say something like this. People have a right to chose where they want to live, be buried, & the size of their family's memorial. If someone doesn't have a headstone, it's because their family didn't provide them with one, not because others didn't allow them to have one.
