Vt. man offers grave for deceased Boston bomber

A retired Vermont teacher has offered a spot in his family’s cemetery plot to the family of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died following a shootout with police.

Paul Keane made the offer Monday on his blog.

He says the only condition he would attach to allowing the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev to be interred in the plot in the Mount Carmel Burying Ground in Hamden, Conn., is that it be done in the memory of his mother.


The Valley News of Lebanon, N.H., (http://bit.ly/13hJiOo ) report’s Keane says his mother taught him to ‘‘love thine enemy.’’

is probably the best bet.

It's far enough away from New England, and the grave will be unmarked. It solves the Islamic burial conundrum, too.

I have found it disturbing that the family has been punished and people have been so vindictive regarding this burial. Thanks for posting this.

Would be desecrators would then have to be ashamed of themselves to bother this guy's family plot. Does away with any excuse.
