sheriff and his sergeant in Washington state have bought burial plots next to Josh Powell's boys in order to block family members from burying him next to them, according to a media report Wednesday.
"The bottom line is, Josh Powell will not be near those two boys," Pierce County Sheriff's Sgt. Ed Troyer said in an interview with a Seattle-area radio program called the Ron and Don Show.

Actually, shame on the Powell family for even thinking of burying that monster in the same cemetary where the boys he murdered are buried. According to the Seattle Times it was Crime Stoppers that bought the plots. If you read the article and the comments you will see that Powell gets very little sympathy in the area. The shame is on the Powells, not the police.

It bothers me they used some crimestopper funds to buy the plots. The tweet says crimestoppers bought the plots. What a misuse of money. I'm all for it if they would have spent personal money on it, but it looks like that's not the case.

It's not like the police are officially doing this. Being involved in the case it probably became very important for the officers involved to keep the children as far away from the bastard as possible (even in death). I am actually having less of a problem with Crime Stoppers being used because I believe that is all donated money and they are allowed to do with it what they see fit.

It was the court that let powell keep his kids, not the police.And I don't think he does need to be next to them for eternity after murdering them.
