Title: A Murderer’s Memorial Plaque in Minnesota and Other Maudlin Tributes Post by: Soldier4Christ on October 10, 2007, 03:02:38 PM A Murderer’s Memorial Plaque in Minnesota and Other Maudlin Tributes
In another example of the upside down nature of our nation today, a man who murdered his ex-girlfriend and then killed himself is getting a nice memorial plaque in a Minnesota kid’s ballpark because his love for the kids was “greatly appreciated.” Never mind that he stalked his ex-girlfriend and murdered her. Never mind that, like a coward, he killed himself afterwards. It was enough that after this mental case died the Park District remembered he was a cool guy. That’s all they needed… their maudlin warm “feelings.” In early September a plaque was placed in Erskine’s Athletic Park. It reads: “In loving memory of David DeFrang, whose love and devotion to our children is greatly appreciated.'’ According to reports, DeFrang became unhinged when girlfriend Tina Gerving broke off their engagement. On January 23, 2005, he shot her to death and then turned the gun on himself. Two years later the Park District dedicated this absurd plaque to him. Their explanation? Folks liked the killer. I wonder if John Wayne Gacy will be the next to be memorialized, after he was such a funny clown. ::) ::) |
