I believe Sigaba is asking what has changed for the masses regarding this value and why, is it popular culture, lack of personal experience, where did we get derailed from the days when such actions would have been rare shameful outliers?
Well, I can see the value of every word you typed, however, if I remember correctly, those journalsits were put in their idiodic place about writing that, "flowers or LEAVES were being placed on a tomb"GRRRRRRRRRR

And aren't the folks stealing the cross are currently being pursued by LEO, IIRC?

And also believe that Sigaba can answer for themself. Because, even though I buried my Grandmother today, I am genuinely curious of the reply, should they choose to even give one.
