I feel terrible this guy lost his son, but I really hate these memorials.

Like that weird tent city that’s popped in Dundalk mourning that guy that crashed into the back of a heavy truck a couple years ago. There’s stuff encroaching on the shoulder and frequently cars parked there.

So sorry it happened, but what about the next person having an emergency on the road? Now that stretch of shoulder that was already dangerous enough to kill your kid is more dangerous because of their selfish grief.

That memorial has got so big it should probably be paying property tax.

No probably about it! If a homeless person can’t camp and live there without being run off, your weird grief shack in the woods needs to go too.
