in the bathroom and
for the boston marathon bombing we're now starting to get a number of
different stories that that uh... will be followed over some period of time
the trial
of uh... the hearts and i have will be one of those stories
and other story that summer job last couple of days is that of
where will the remains of camera lance and i have
be buried
now the funeral director in charge of but m runs or not i have peter staff and
said he hasn't been able to find a cemetery in massachusetts who's even
willing to to take the body right he says he could ask the city of cambridge
where he words are not have live to provide a burial plot and then if
cambridge turned him down held will talk to state officials and his uncalled the
the uncool uh... roussel aunts arnie said i'm dealing with the logistics a
dead person must be buried is of course the uncle came up from maryland we saw
interview with that uncle during the the entire
intern period between the bombing and when they were eventually
and kat respectively
one of the than the latest pieces of the story which i think
bring i don't know it gives us a lot of questions that we could kinda discuss
amongst ourselves
is that eighty-year-old divinity school graduate actually said i'd be willing to
donate one of my burial plots at mount carmel cemetery
to the family of two of tamil answer no i have any said you know i have these
four plots uh... my parents are or buried into
i'll really have a plot for myself uh... and and i would be willing to do it now
here's the thing he says the only condition is
that i do it
in memory of my mother
who taught sunday school at the mount carmel congregational church forty years
and taught me
to love dine and indeed this is paul douglas keen
who has a blog called the anti ale he says article in the plot no one can
refuse me access he sixty eight years old is a retired public school teacher
lives of her mott
and uh... the cemetery in question is central burying grounds on which we add
a new in mount carmel
we think about this louis right i mean he he says this is a person and i don't
care that he's a pariah
everybody deserves a burial so i'm willing to make the offer i also think
it would be a nice thing to do in memory of my mother
who did teach me
love diane enemy i don't care how despicable and hateful his behavior was
in his lifetime he's dead and his body deserves arresting place any says this
is the christian thing to do with the real christian thing to do here is
provide a burial plot
i'd say this is probably the only real christian we've talked about uh... in
uh... a long time
uh... agree with this
you don't think that because of the
the the counter-argument realism
but no i think i think i finally saying i a i agree with that i don't i'd have
him
you know i'm completely neutral on this i don't think
bearing the body or not bearing the body would matter i understand why people
would not want uh...
the body
he is certainly a third and think what i mean to me it's just uh... it decaying
matter at this point the time do you think this is more appel
details the minutiae
of what camera lens and i have did while he was alive or more about what it says
about uh... those who still are alive in terms of how this is handled
well it's also maulik thing i mean this guy is getting criticized because he's
making a symbolic move it's like lose the same as a practical issue here at
stake but the guy
isn't really
uh... proposing a practical solution to symbolic wants to say that no matter who
this guy is he deserves a normal burial and no one's going to be no goin and
actually of volunteer four on the other hand
uh... this guy was in an american citizen
i believe so i don't know if uh... it's possible to send his body back to russia
or whether they would even accept the middle and willie dunn and i don't
remember whether it
camera one was a citizen and zohar was close to being revised version of the
heart is clearly of the system
but yet he was listed as my would be a hope it's a very tough yet
i know it's a i don't really care if they think it's buried
uh... in a christian cemetery or if they throw into the vultures i'd i really
don't care either way but you're not you would be a great for the guy for
offering to the disguise crime added look i know item
