The usually serene grounds of the historic Elmwood Cemetery in Waterloo were now a crime scene after dozens of headstones were found toppled over, and some destroyed."I was just sick to my stomach," Mike Walden, president of the Elmwood Cemetery board, told CNN on Tuesday."It just makes your heart hurt."The cemetery is home to graves dating back to the 1800s. It is even the memorial site for the first settlers that arrived in Waterloo -- the Hanna family, according to Walden.

Several of these would have taken four or five people to knock over."In total, 50 gravestones were tipped over, according to the Waterloo Police. The vandalism happened in the overnight hours between Monday and Tuesday, according to Walden.He said most damage was done to the historic section of the cemetery.
Democrats. Defund police. Allow terrorists to take over your cities. Allow statues and historic monuments to be destroyed. CNN - keep pushing racism in our face. This will keep happening. CNN, YOU are responsible for ALL of this.
And CNN cheered and clapped as this was thier desire
Blame Donald.
5 seconds to guess who did this
That's the destructive liberal LEFT!!! DONT VOTE FOR THESE USELESS DEMOCRATS
No excuse for this. None.
No respect for the dead.....!?..…. The person who did this will have a mom or dad or brother that will pass away. Think how would you feel if someone did this to your loved one?........ Sh1 thought isn't it? Why people act this way I don't know
One never would’ve thought America would someday have to have cameras and security on every corner of property. This is senseless.
It’s like we’re competing to be the trashiest people on the planet. And we’re winning.
Why do people still do this stuff?
That's messed up!
Some things boil my piss - this is one of them.
Some people have been told to never let a crisis go to waste. Misdirected angst and lack of accountability are the real problem here.
I am an Iowan....This is in Waterloo...Northeast in our state...terrible action to prove a point ...A person can be smart, a group can be a bunch of idiots that are just followers...No one in this group thought this was the wrong thing to do?
I worked in a cemetery as a teen. About once a year, some group of kids would get drunk, and go knock over headstones. Idiots.
BLM
LOL what a joke of a movement BLM is.
That means we need 4 more Years of Donald Trump
🤬
i wonder who could be behind this? N
Somehow cnn will say this is trumps fault!
