Speak Up! Memphis

3 Texas Teens Accused of Using Corpse Head as Bong

HOUSTON (AP) -- Three Texas teens have been arrested after police say one told them that they had dug up a skull and fashioned it into a bong to smoke pot.

Houston Police were interviewing one of the teens about a stolen debit card when he allegedly blurted out the story.

Authorities say the teens dug up Willie Simms' grave in what is most likely a 19th century veterans grave yard, broke off the skull and smoked marijuana from it.

Police were led to the grave site where they found a knocked over headstone and a water-filled hole more than four-feet deep. Two of the teens, who are each 17, are charged with misdemeanor abuse of a corpse. A third, who is 16, is in the juvenile justice system.

Sick, sick, sick! Digging up corpses is a crime.  Punish them either $ & time, or one or the other.

You mean this is not normal behavior?

Seems to me that it is time to rethink the governments stand on not punishing your children.
We've spared the rod for 15+/- years and look at these kids today. They have no sense of right nor wrong nor will what they get for what they have done ever be punishment enough.
These kids today will look at you like, "What you going to do about it?"
And they know DAM good and well ain't a whole lot going to be done to them.
So why bother. You may as well let them do what they want to do because nothing you do to them is going to make a bit of difference.

As nasty as that is, I have to say its a little funny. Can you imagine seeing that while buzzed? Smoke coming out of every hole? I'm surprised they didn't freak out. Anyway, I hate to sound horrible, sometimes, but its at least a little funny.

I think it's a little bit funny too, kids will be kids, we all did things we knew were wrong and this is not an exception.  What's even more funny is that it probably took them hours to dig it up.  Imagine the smell, ugh.
