These roadside memorials are nothing more than graffiti. I'm glad to see this lawsuit. 12' high crosses? Ridiculous. Were they crucified or did the donut eater merely run his cruiser off the road? In some states every time some moron runs off the road the family creates a roadside memorial. Makes for a really scenic drive. The whole highway is your cemetery.
Having a graveside memorial isn't enough, these Godnuts need an "X" to mark the spot -- and don't give a damn what an eyesore they are creating for everyone else. If a family member of mine died in their backyard would it be okay for me to erect a giant 12' high memorial to Cthulhu? I'm sure it would.
On the other hand, it does make for a great game to keep kids occupied on a long drive, called "Count the dead Christians." Every time you pbutt a memorial, the kids try to be the first to yell out, "God got another one!" (Feel free to suggest your own name for this GREAT family game.)
Agreed. But I don't care about the logo, I don't want this in your face reminder of religion while I am driving. Let them do what normal people do, buy them a tombstone. I also resent the elevation of state police as some sort of higher calling. They are a necessary evil.
