A young man grieving his dead fiancée was arrested this week at the request of her father Tom Ford III, a conservative Baptist preacher, who didn’t want him putting flowers on her gravesite.
That bizarre story began unfolding in January of 2021, after Hannah Ford, a 26-year-old conservative activist who worked on various Republican campaigns, died in a car crash. Compounding that already horrific tragedy was the fact that she had just gotten engaged the previous month. The accident occurred shortly after she was driving home from visiting a possible wedding venue, where she was planning to marry Winchester Hagans, the son of an evangelist.
(weird)
I thought cemeteries were regularly visited/decorated by veteran's groups (like on Memorial Day) freely, and anyone was free to wander them, maybe taking rubbing from the stones (a popular hobby).
Where does anyone have a right to declare such a place off-limits?
Well dad does have legal rights over her body and Winchester will just have to cope with being brought down. Maybe he'll learn something valuable about Evangelists and turn his cheeks toward a more liberal Cathedral? I wouldn't hold my breath as Evans don't often learn anything.
