| Senator wants help finding gravesite for Boston Bomber |
| 2013-05-06 |
| "The federal government needs to step in," said Chandler. "But I'm not sure what they're going to do or where will they go. Peter Stefan is a very respected and respectable funeral home director in Worcester. He's a good man. This can't continue. He's taking a financial loss as a result of this." Stefan accepted Tsarnaev's body Friday after it was initially sent to a North Attleborough funeral home, where it was greeted by about 20 protesters. "We have a body for burial that has caused a lot of controversy and we can't continue to play this game," Stefan told The Herald. "Under normal circumstances, the government would say it's (the funeral parlor's) responsibility to find a place for burial, but this is not normal circumstances. This is a nightmare. "My problem here is trying to find a gravesite," Stefan added. "A lot of people don't want to do it. They don't want to be involved with this. I keep bringing up the point of Lee Harvey Oswald, Timothy McVeigh or Ted Bundy. Somebody had to do those, too." Nooo. No one had to do those. They could easily have been cremated and scattered in the nearest sewer. Or beheaded to be displayed at the cities' gate. Only YOU feel the the need for a *respectful burial*. Perhaps you should re-examine your priorities. |

| #25 Wifey knows that hubby Tsamaev's body is a hot potato, so she is not going to touch it now. That is how deep islamic traditions go when the heat is on. Kick the coffin down the road, so to speak. |

| #24 Cremate the body and add it to the nearest stockpile of high-level nuclear waste. |

| #23 Sent his worthless body back to the Hell-Hole-istan from whence he came. From 30,000 feet. |

| #22 Massachusetts has a GREAT cemetary that's plenty big enough. It's called the Atlantic Ocean and there's loads of easy access. |

| #21 Aren't there any prison cemetery plots available? Have to be one or two in the great State of Mass. |

| #20 I agree, Dr. White - claiming the body and burial expenses are the family's responsibility. Not the taxpayers, who have been fleeced quite enough by the Tsarnaevs already. However, there is the shrine problem. That is a potential security issue, and it's probably why he can't find a graveyard willing to accept the body. Mr. Stefan IS in a bit of a sticky wicket. Perhaps he'd be all too glad to toss the ashes, but would like some legal cover in case some relative tries to sue him. |

| #19 Med schools always need more cadavers. |

| #18 My point above is a serious one: the body belongs to the next of kin. That's the missus. If not her, given that Mumzy and Daddzy are overseas, that means one of the uncles who is still here in the U.S. Where are they in all this? Why haven't one of them claimed the body? This is elemental common law. The corpse belongs to the next of kin. The funeral director makes a call -- "come and get it." Or he can ship. Whatever. If no one claims the body then it goes into the potter's field with a numbered grave marker. Given that could be a problem for the future, perhaps a sea burial is reasonable. But first I'd like Mrs. Katherine (Russell)Tsarnaev to state publicly that she doesn't want it. |

| #17 Agree - to bury him and have a gravesite which would become a shrine is unacceptable. Give him the Osama treatment. Heard on the radio this morning someone point out that if he has a grave then someone can watch whoever 'visits' it. Who? Homeland Security? |

| #16 Bury him with Osama. |

| #12 No burial needed. Just find the nearest pig farm and toss him in. Problem solved. |

| #9 Alaska Paul has the right idea, give him the Usama Bin Ladin treatment, the Atlantic ocean is a big place. No land burial or his supporters will likely place his name on this list and there will be no end to it. |

| #8 He had a wife and mother, send them the bill and a note saying the body will be cremated and dumped in the garbage if they dont come and get it. |

| #7 Drop it off at the top of the new World Trade Center and let the crows have it. |

| #6 Do something kind. Burn ( oh sorry 'cremate") the cadaver. You can't DO that? Its not "islamic"? Well do something "islamic to it, I am not sure what, and deliver it to his next of kin and its then THEIR problem. You can at least get another headline that his own mother doesn't want his body? That would sound nice for Islam, I think. Yes? No? Well then, are there no Mosques out there full of Islamic charity, after all Islam is so well known for its overflowing and generous loving charity toward all. Zakat and all that. Pillars of Islam, hummahumma. No Mosques ANYWHERE who will take the deader's corpse? There's a headline right there also. NO MOSQUE WILL TAKE HIS DEAD ISLAMIC WHACKAROONI FOR ANY REASON. or words to that effect. Should look good on Islam's resume'. They say they don't want it. Offer every Mosque in the US a chance. ANY takers? OFFer it to CAIR and see if there is another headline there? Suggestion: wait awhile and then "lose" it. New Jersey has a lot of real estate that gets dark early. Try Massachusetts or California.( another Headline or two there) The Media can surely sell this for quite a while with any imagination at all. Off it to CNN and see what they can arrange or if they have any raffle or charity they can "involve". Someone "spiritual" with lots of eye makeup perhaps, a televangelist who ooozes charity and needs the publicity? Someone "sincere" who will tell us all to pray over it. Is there ANYone out there who will bury this man out of the milk of human decency and caring charity? Or am I just looking at a lot of Americans who really really want him to rot in the sack? You can at least be honest about your own true feelings. |

| #5 RandomJD has an excellent point: where is Mrs. Tsarnaev in the handling of her late husband's remains? |

| #4 The Federal Government could quietly move in and bury the bastid in a military cemetery with an unmarked grave. They won't however. The news chatter keeps the little people gainfully distracted and occupied, whilst the scoundrels in Washington pursue their usual shenanigans. |

| #3 Well now, this is interesting, given the discussion yesterday regarding Mrs. Tsarnaev. Why is she MIA here? Active, willing accomplice proud of hubby for martyring himself for Allan? Or relieved she's free, without having to take any action on her own. I suppose a cynic might pick door #3: a calculated move on the advice of her lawyer. But if she were a true-blue Islamonutter like Momma Speedbump, I would think she'd be there screaming about a proper Muslim burial anyway. As for Mr. Stefan . . . how about your own backyard, next to Snowball I, Snowball II, and Snowball III. |

| #2 where it was greeted by about 20 protesters. Each one should be immediately arrested, and held as terrorist accomplices. |

| #1 If you can't cremate or bury him, then sew him up a canvas sack, weight it with rocks and take him offshore and chuck him over the side. Jeeze louise, it's not a big problem. |
