Last month’s news reports of vandalism at the sprawling and majestic Evergreen Cemetery in Portland’s Deering neighborhood struck a chord with me.

I haven’t seen an update to the initial April 2 reports of 150 toppled and damaged gravestones, but Portland Police said eyewitnesses saw teenagers running from the area, and that sounds about right to me. Male teenagers tend to do destructive, stupid things, thinking only for how cool they look in front of their “friends,” with no care for the damage they leave in their wake.
