Kelly: Cursing Thieves

Cecil Kelly III of Coeur d'Alene wrote the following letter to the Coeur d'Alene Press editor:

Those of you who stole the flower baskets off my parents’ and brother’s graves — I curse you. I curse you, your family, your dog, your home, your car. I curse you in this life and the next. I curse you before God and Satan. May you rot in hell ‘til the end of time.

DFO: I knew Cecil's mother. She and Betty Stone, as part of the Cemetery Committee, were instrumental in saving the Forest Cemetery from privatization during the Fromm administration.

Question: If this happened to you, would you share Cecil's mind set?
