The vandalism at cemeteries is a very interesting thing, because those people, who do that are making the crime. They must pay the damages, what those vandals have made, and that's why the cemetery as the vandal's target is the very uncommon thing. If somebody would fall over a hundred gravestones, there must be some reason for that, because those gravestones are sometimes very heavy, and the person, who makes that needs muscle.


If the question would be about so-called "common vandalism" there would be some kind of sprayed graffiti or something like that. If the question would be about satanism, we must ask, where are the signs of that kind of actions? Those people could draw the pentagrams or put the chicken corpses in that area, and common vandals might use drugs, and where are their pipes and other equipment.


I think that nobody would do that kind of things just for fun. The good question is, how those gravestones were chosen, and is there something, what connects it with other vandalism actions in the cemeteries.  Are those vandals wait, who would come to repair those gravestones? There was one explanation for the motive of that kind of vandalism. That creepy explanation is the wealthy families, what lost their children by drugs are graved them to some cemeteries at far away from home, and there would be wrong dates to mark in the stone.


Those youngsters would be graved as old people, and nobody would even know their existence. Those graves might be kept good looking by the church, and that service could be paid for 20 or more years. And nobody actually visits those graves to remember the person, who lays in it. But that explanation was in some crime movie, what name I don't remember.


Maybe the maker of that kind of actions could be the drug user, who was in the amphetamine psychosis, but those persons would not able to work systematically. There is one thing, what could explain this kind of destruction, and that is, that there was something, what those vandals looked for, but why they have crushed some of those memorial stones. Neonazis would mark the area by their marks, and there is a question, what those people, who fall those gravestones were looking for in that area? If the motive would be political, why there were no messages, about the purpose of the vandalism?

Graffiti, and its relationship with social media

Graffiti and other wall writings are one way to make social media, and they have still a strong position in many subcultures. The graffiti is a mark for the border of some gangs area, and sometimes it tells the people, where are the parties, and who would be taken to the gangs. Graffiti is one way to make paintings. Many times there are people, who are concerning about that somebody would think of graffiti as an art, and here I must say, that making graffiti to the wall without permission is the thing, what would be punished.


Graffiti is actually an art like everything else, and it is protected by the copyright like other productive work. So that means, that introducing graffiti as the own product if it is made by some other person is violating copyright laws. And here I must say, that I haven't made the graffiti what is in this picture. But the maker would get inspiration from the Easter Islands stone heads, when this person made the graffiti, what is at the picture above the text.


There are claims, that sometimes the cleaning companies have paid to graffiti-makers, that they would make those pictures and the company would get jobs from those actions. But the graffiti is not the new thing. Even cavemen and ancient Greeks made those writings and paintings to the walls. They also made scupltures, what sometimes had the political purpose, and in that time making political graffiti could cause death penalty.


And here I must say that the youngsters were similar in ancient Greece and Roman empire as they are today. Some letters what have found from that age are telling, that some emperors were very unpopular. The letters have remained in good condition because they have been in anaerobic space, and that's why the texts could be read sometimes without any special equipment.


But when the scientists use the UV-light and photographing technology, where cameras take even thousands of pictures, what is connected to one photo, and laser scanners what separates the small risings in the paper, could even the weakest text read by scientists. And those texts would give us the good look in the regular people life in the Greek and Roman empire. Those people had similar problems as modern people, but one big difference is: they didn't have the Internet and Facebook. This is the biggest difference with modern people, and that's why the ancient people had better wealth than modern people.

Why somebody made that text?

Above the text is a picture of rock painting in Heinola, Finland. And we might think, that it's made by some narcotic users, who have been in camping at this area at 70's. This text has been made over ancient stone-age rock painting, and if somebody would catch by this, would the price of this text very big. Some narcotic-users make very impulsive actions when they are under the influence of drugs.  And this is the good example, why this kind of artifact must be protected.


When we are thinking this kind of ancient paintings, what has been made by some caveman, we must say that some of those paintings have been destroyed by medieval people, who have had the fanatic relationship with Christianity. And those paintings are made by some pagan, that means, that they should be destroyed. But in this case were not question of some medieval person, because those people didn't have the opportunity to buy oil colors from the shop, and this is, why I suspect that some drug-users have wanted to make their names known forever. And maybe they wanted to show the world, that they had camping site in that area.


And maybe those days what are painted in that yellow text, are the dates when those people were on this camping site. And probably the months are wrong. This kind of people is the reason, why some of the most fantastic cave paintings are kept out of the human eye in secrecy. There are always people, who want to destroy those ancient paintings, and many of those people are drug users. And maybe they don't know what this kind of graffiti costs for them if they would catch about this kind of actions. Destroying ancient artifact is the very bad thing and the bill about those actions is very high. So this kind of art would cause very big bill. But why it's done. If the local people would not talk anything about this case, there would probably not any mysteries behind it.


Of course, some woman could hide just born children in the forest and then kill them in some mental disorder. And those children are probably not born in the hospital, and this causes thoughts about the murder of two innocent children. But normally local people would know about this kind of things if those children were found in some church books. But if behind this is some drug user, there is a possibility, that those hypothetical children are born in some forest, and then some terrible thing has happened. In this scenario, some prostitute has been caught children with some person, who wanted to protect his reputation.


And after this very selfish person have been made the crime, what has no excuses. This kind of action would send that person straight to the mental hospital for the rest of the life. Here I remember some writings in the newspaper, where some reporter protected this kind of crimes and claimed that, if the victim would be just born child, there should not prosecute those brutal and cold-blooded murderers. And now I must ask, is there a connection between those writings and this rock painting? They were quite disturbing writings, where child murders were defended, by claiming that those children were not even humans.  In those cases, where the person has been made crime, what cannot be defended, would this criminal try to apologize for that kind of heartless and brutal crime, by convicting, that this sick crime was right, and other people would accept it.


This feeling of guilty sometimes causes disturbing writings in some newspapers, if someone has been killed the child on purpose or accidentally as an example impacting that young person by car. and in some person's mind comes thoughts, that this kind of victim was handicapped, because that would make the life easier. And sometimes the reason for the texts were child victims are underrated caused the crime, what is called a "hit and run", where the driver escapes from the place, where the impact happened. In those cases would this person sometimes try to convict that the victim was guilty in this thing, what was not right, but claiming that another person would accept that action makes that criminals life easier because that driver might have the very bad conscience about this hypothetical action, that caused the death of the innocent person.
