Speaker 1: She has a breakfast club. Bit you who's donkey of
Speaker 1: the day today?
Speaker 2: Don't here to day for Wednesday, May twenty second, goes
Speaker 2: to Marfa Boughs. Now, we live in a world where
Speaker 2: everybody wants their flowers. Everybody wants to be celebrated, everybody
Speaker 2: wants to be honored. And folks aren't waiting on someone
Speaker 2: to give them their flowers. They grow on them theyself,
Speaker 2: and in some cases they are taking them. I want
Speaker 2: to ask you a question, Jess, how do you feel
Speaker 2: about people giving you your flowers? Do you receive them
Speaker 2: when they are given?
Speaker 3: I do receive them.
Speaker 4: Yes, I feel like I've come a long way, but
Speaker 4: I have a lot of ways to go. We have
Speaker 4: a long way to go. But yeah, I give I
Speaker 4: like when people give them my flowers.
Speaker 2: Have you ever felt like you wasn't being respected and
Speaker 2: you wanted your flowers so much that you would take them?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: No, Okay, I don't believe in taking the flowers. I
Speaker 4: really don't believe flowers give you validation. It feels good
Speaker 4: to be honored, but I'm not gonna have to take
Speaker 4: nobody flowers.
Speaker 2: Well, Marfa Boos Marpha Bowles disagrees with you. Okay, she
Speaker 2: took her flowers. She wanted to be celebrated, so she
Speaker 2: decided to celebrate herself. Let's go to forty eight on
Speaker 2: your side for the report place.
Speaker 5: The Dcam County Sheriff's Office arrested and charged Martha Bow's
Speaker 5: with theft of property and the desecration of a grave site.
Speaker 5: This after deputy say she was found with a large
Speaker 5: collection of floral arrangements inside her home, and family members
Speaker 5: of those buried here at Painter Cemetery say they caught
Speaker 5: her in the act.
Speaker 2: I think that's probably one of the lowest things somebody
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 5: These are clips from surveillance footage of Martha Bo's caught
Speaker 5: in the act stealing multiple flower arrangements from graves at
Speaker 5: Painter Cemetery in Crossville following decoration day.
Speaker 2: Stealing flowers from a dead person's grave. Stealing flowers from
Speaker 2: a dead person's grave is like taking all the picture
Speaker 2: frames out of blind person's house, because it's not like
Speaker 2: they're gonna notice unless they, Stevie want to. Stevie wanted
Speaker 2: would notice. Let me tell you something, man, whatever is
Speaker 2: for you will be for you. Okay, whatever you are
Speaker 2: supposed to have, you won't have to force. I understand
Speaker 2: if you want your flowers, but if you're gonna take them,
Speaker 2: if you're gonna steal them, don't take them from someone else,
Speaker 2: especially someone who's deceased. Okay, this is exactly why they say,
Speaker 2: give me my flowers while I'm here to smell them,
Speaker 2: because if I can smell them, that means I'm still alive,
Speaker 2: and if I'm alive, that means they are harder to.
Speaker 1: Take from me.
Speaker 2: Not to mention, who were you people that just like
Speaker 2: to play around in graveyards. I was born in the
Speaker 2: nineteen hundreds. We didn't play around the graveyards. We went
Speaker 2: to funerals. We went to visit and pay all respect.
Speaker 2: Anything outside of that was guaranteed you to be the
Speaker 2: plot of some horror movie. Okay, the thought of someone
Speaker 2: wandering around the graveyard for no reason makes me feel
Speaker 2: like Michael Mayer's about to pop out and show niggas.
Speaker 2: And sometimes for people like Martha Bowles, I wish they did.
Speaker 2: Did you ever do that just when you was playing
Speaker 2: with them white people in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: First of all, I wasn't playing with no white people,
Speaker 3: But did I do what?
Speaker 1: Was like this play around the graveyard.
Speaker 4: No, I did not, and none of my white friends
Speaker 4: did that. We didn't do They weren't that weird.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: That's how I know we have officially reached the ghetto
Speaker 2: point of no return here on earth. The dead don't
Speaker 2: even care if you disrespect them no more. They're like, man,
Speaker 2: take them petty ass flowers. Whatever brings your punk ass
Speaker 2: joy on that side, because y'all needed more than I do. Hell,
Speaker 2: the deceased may pity us because flowers are expensive.
Speaker 1: The other's day was earlier this month.
Speaker 2: You gotta think if you got a mother, a grandma,
Speaker 2: or sister, a wife, aunts that can get expensive.
Speaker 1: Before you know it, you're gonna spend seven hundred dollars
Speaker 1: in flowers.
Speaker 2: Okay, that lady probably walked through that grave and saw
Speaker 2: that expensive bass floral arrangement and thought to herself, what
Speaker 2: a waste. They can't even smell them. Let me get
Speaker 2: those ladies. Y'all say, y'all want a man that can
Speaker 2: get you flowers every week? Well, a dozen roses is
Speaker 2: about one hundred dollars, so that's four hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 2: That's almost five grand a year for something that dies
Speaker 2: after four days, So I can understand the thought process
Speaker 2: of someone that says, I might as well steal these
Speaker 2: flowers because they're gonna be dead in the next thirty
Speaker 2: six hours. Anyway, this person gonna be dead forever. They
Speaker 2: are in a better place, and these flowers need to
Speaker 2: be in a better place too.
Speaker 1: Listen, I need.
Speaker 2: You all to start treating actual dead people the way
Speaker 2: you treat that man or.
Speaker 1: Woman who ghosted you.
Speaker 2: If someone ghost you, you should respect the dead and
Speaker 2: never disturb them again. Can we please start giving actual
Speaker 2: dead people the same energy? Please give Martha bows, the
Speaker 2: sweet sounds, and the Hamiltons you.
Speaker 6: Oh the day, yeah, oh the day.
Speaker 3: I did not know that flowers were that expensive? What crazy? What?
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Oral arrangements are crazy expensive. You see that floor arrangement
Speaker 1: I got over.
Speaker 3: That makes me feel so good because my man always
Speaker 3: band me flowers. But I didn't know they was that.
