- 0:15Speaker 2: to give them their flowers. They grow on them theyself,
- 0:18Speaker 2: and in some cases they are taking them. I want
- 0:20Speaker 2: to ask you a question, Jess, how do you feel
- 0:22Speaker 2: about people giving you your flowers? Do you receive them
- 0:24Speaker 2: when they are given?
- 0:25Speaker 3: I do receive them.
- 0:26Speaker 4: Yes, I feel like I've come a long way, but
- 0:28Speaker 4: I have a lot of ways to go. We have
- 0:30Speaker 4: a long way to go. But yeah, I give I
- 0:32Speaker 4: like when people give them my flowers.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Have you ever felt like you wasn't being respected and
- 0:36Speaker 2: you wanted your flowers so much that you would take them?
- 0:38Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
- 0:40Speaker 4: No, Okay, I don't believe in taking the flowers. I
- 0:44Speaker 4: really don't believe flowers give you validation. It feels good
- 0:47Speaker 4: to be honored, but I'm not gonna have to take
- 0:48Speaker 4: nobody flowers.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Well, Marfa Boos Marpha Bowles disagrees with you. Okay, she
- 0:54Speaker 2: took her flowers. She wanted to be celebrated, so she
- 0:56Speaker 2: decided to celebrate herself. Let's go to forty eight on
- 0:58Speaker 2: your side for the report place.
- 1:00Speaker 5: The Dcam County Sheriff's Office arrested and charged Martha Bow's
- 1:03Speaker 5: with theft of property and the desecration of a grave site.
- 1:07Speaker 5: This after deputy say she was found with a large
- 1:09Speaker 5: collection of floral arrangements inside her home, and family members
- 1:13Speaker 5: of those buried here at Painter Cemetery say they caught
- 1:16Speaker 5: her in the act.
- 1:18Speaker 2: I think that's probably one of the lowest things somebody
- 1:20Speaker 2: to do.
- 1:21Speaker 5: These are clips from surveillance footage of Martha Bo's caught
- 1:24Speaker 5: in the act stealing multiple flower arrangements from graves at
- 1:28Speaker 5: Painter Cemetery in Crossville following decoration day.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Stealing flowers from a dead person's grave. Stealing flowers from
- 1:35Speaker 2: a dead person's grave is like taking all the picture
- 1:37Speaker 2: frames out of blind person's house, because it's not like
- 1:39Speaker 2: they're gonna notice unless they, Stevie want to. Stevie wanted
- 1:41Speaker 2: would notice. Let me tell you something, man, whatever is
- 1:43Speaker 2: for you will be for you. Okay, whatever you are
- 1:45Speaker 2: supposed to have, you won't have to force. I understand
- 1:49Speaker 2: if you want your flowers, but if you're gonna take them,
- 1:51Speaker 2: if you're gonna steal them, don't take them from someone else,
- 1:54Speaker 2: especially someone who's deceased. Okay, this is exactly why they say,
- 1:58Speaker 2: give me my flowers while I'm here to smell them,
- 2:00Speaker 2: because if I can smell them, that means I'm still alive,
- 2:03Speaker 2: and if I'm alive, that means they are harder to.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Take from me.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Not to mention, who were you people that just like
- 2:08Speaker 2: to play around in graveyards. I was born in the
- 2:10Speaker 2: nineteen hundreds. We didn't play around the graveyards. We went
- 2:12Speaker 2: to funerals. We went to visit and pay all respect.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Anything outside of that was guaranteed you to be the
- 2:17Speaker 2: plot of some horror movie. Okay, the thought of someone
- 2:20Speaker 2: wandering around the graveyard for no reason makes me feel
- 2:22Speaker 2: like Michael Mayer's about to pop out and show niggas.
- 2:25Speaker 2: And sometimes for people like Martha Bowles, I wish they did.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Did you ever do that just when you was playing
- 2:30Speaker 2: with them white people in Pennsylvania?
- 2:31Speaker 6: What?
- 2:31Speaker 3: First of all, I wasn't playing with no white people,
- 2:33Speaker 3: But did I do what?
- 2:34Speaker 1: Was like this play around the graveyard.
- 2:36Speaker 4: No, I did not, and none of my white friends
- 2:38Speaker 4: did that. We didn't do They weren't that weird.
- 2:40Speaker 1: That's right.
- 2:40Speaker 2: That's how I know we have officially reached the ghetto
- 2:44Speaker 2: point of no return here on earth. The dead don't
- 2:47Speaker 2: even care if you disrespect them no more. They're like, man,
- 2:50Speaker 2: take them petty ass flowers. Whatever brings your punk ass
- 2:53Speaker 2: joy on that side, because y'all needed more than I do. Hell,
- 2:56Speaker 2: the deceased may pity us because flowers are expensive.
- 3:00Speaker 1: The other's day was earlier this month.
- 3:01Speaker 2: You gotta think if you got a mother, a grandma,
- 3:03Speaker 2: or sister, a wife, aunts that can get expensive.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Before you know it, you're gonna spend seven hundred dollars
- 3:07Speaker 1: in flowers.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Okay, that lady probably walked through that grave and saw
- 3:10Speaker 2: that expensive bass floral arrangement and thought to herself, what
- 3:13Speaker 2: a waste. They can't even smell them. Let me get
- 3:16Speaker 2: those ladies. Y'all say, y'all want a man that can
- 3:19Speaker 2: get you flowers every week? Well, a dozen roses is
- 3:21Speaker 2: about one hundred dollars, so that's four hundred dollars a month.
- 3:23Speaker 2: That's almost five grand a year for something that dies
- 3:26Speaker 2: after four days, So I can understand the thought process
- 3:28Speaker 2: of someone that says, I might as well steal these
- 3:30Speaker 2: flowers because they're gonna be dead in the next thirty
- 3:32Speaker 2: six hours. Anyway, this person gonna be dead forever. They
- 3:35Speaker 2: are in a better place, and these flowers need to
- 3:37Speaker 2: be in a better place too.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Listen, I need.
- 3:39Speaker 2: You all to start treating actual dead people the way
- 3:42Speaker 2: you treat that man or.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Woman who ghosted you.
- 3:45Speaker 2: If someone ghost you, you should respect the dead and
- 3:48Speaker 2: never disturb them again. Can we please start giving actual
