Reply #183: I guess I'm more of an asshole than this guy.

I don't blame him for burying the cross. He had no obligation to call the man to come get it. He was probably sick of looking at it. I wouldn't want a cross sticking out of my grass on my yard either. It would bother me more than looking at flowers, teddy bears, etc. Throwing it away probably didn't seem right in case the man asked for it back. But he probably didn't want to have to store it in his house or garage, either. I wouldn't want an item people have been mourning over (with all that sad and negative energy attached to it, and from strangers no less) in my house or anywhere near my house.

Edited to add: But this guy is nicer than me, because I wouldn't let anybody put a memorial on my property at all.
