Families were actively not informed of their loved ones deaths, and inmates were made to dig the holes and bury the bodies of the dead. This is getting massively underreported and happened earlier this month, I bet you haven’t heard about it.

      If you read the article, some of them weren’t in the jail. The first man mentioned was killed by a police car, after which the cops pretended for months not to know where he was. When his family finally tracked him down to an unmarked grave, the cops demanded $250 for the return of his body.

      Either way, everyone deserves to be laid to rest. Afterwards you can do whatever. Henry Kissinger deserves to be laid to rest. No matter how shitty.

          🤔 As much as I loathe those types, I have to agree. Not because the deceased deserve anything, but so the community has an accurate record of who lives and dies.

          Without the public burials and records, the government could disappear people without consequence.

          Unmarked graves should be illegal.

          Laid to rest and specking highly of someone after they pass are two different things. Every family deserves to grieve their loss and bury their dead. Now after they are buried can you shit on their grave? Yes, yes you can, but the family deserves a final goodbye.
