Okay, digging up skulls from the cemetery isn't exactly what I'd consider good manners, but at least he didn't kill them.
I hope.

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

Modern day Ed gien.
That's gotta be some bad juju
I accidentally dug up a human skeleton at work once. Maybe uncovered is a better word.
Anyway I only got a nasty cold for like a week
God forbid someone have hobbies
I just looked up his Facebook out of curiosity. It hasn’t been removed.
He called himself “dome daddy”.
🤮
Pennsylvania totally isn't haunted, tho, they say. Sure it isn't.
As someone who lives in PA, I can confirm that this state totally isn't haunted at all and my family and I have never lived in haunted houses or have had crazy unexplainable experience. No sir.
No more than anywhere else.
That is the best possible ending of that headline, and there weren’t many good options.
Okay, but... why?
there's a black market for human skulls and skeletons that mostly caters to racists who still believe in phrenology
He was selling them to collectors.
Shits and giggles.
Everyone has their hobby. Some are... well, different.
It could be worse. He could have been collecting Funko Pops.
It’s weird for sure, but a $1mil bail is insane for what boils down to theft.
I don’t mean to sound callous to the families of the deceased, but it is what it is.
Maybe I’m a bit fucked up though because I was trying to think how I would feel if he had stolen my dad’s remains, and I’ve decided it would have been comical. I suspect my dad would have thought that too. I don’t visit his grave site either so maybe I can’t comprehend it. I just don’t believe he is in a box in bones, ya know?
I hope he at least found the one he was looking for.
Hopefully those accusations turn out to be accurate
