> [@aceplace57](#): > > That community suffered through a lot of trauma. The search for Caylee lasted several months and involved hundreds of volunteers. Then it took a couple years for the trial to start. Reopening wounds and creating frustration at the outcome. > > A simple memorial to Caylee seems appropriate. Only because of what her death means to that community. > > Memorials aren’t needed for every death. Most cases don’t receive so much intense coverage. So put up a bronze statue of her in a local park. ---

Call me insensitive, but does anyone else think that looks like a unicorn ate a rainbow and then farted it out? Jeesh. Whatever happened to tasteful and understated for a memorial? ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > I consider them more of a distraction that could potentially lead to some unfortunate irony. This. So much this. On a particular curvy road in NC, a local guy put up crosses at the site of every fatality. And because the road is popular with motorcyclists, there are a fir number of sites. Every time I come around a curve and see one, there is a slight moment of distraction, followed by a few seconds of “those f’ing things are a hazard”, going through my mind. ---
