No respect

[Donut]

Sorry, but I'll have to vehemently disagree here. He did overstep his bounds (no pun intended) because there are other graves there besides that of Elvis. This guy looks like he was literally sitting on Minnie Mae's (Elvis's grandmother) grave!! The nerve of some people like this guy do something like that!

He doesn't look to me like he is sitting on Minnie's grave. In my opinion the only wrong thing he did was breaking a rule by jumping the fence which was in fact there before Elvis got buried, and the majority of graves in cemeteries don't have. It's my understanding that this guy is an Elvis fan, so even though I wouldn't do it, I don't think his intention was to be disrespectful to Elvis or his family buried there.

The reason for the fence is to keep people away from the graves, and that being the case this guy overstepped the bounds of acceptance. He may have meant no disrespect to Elvis but he disrespected the rules which any business or institution can lawfully post for visiting their establishment. If you don't like the rules of someplace-complain to the proper places but IMO you should not just decide to ignore them.

I saw this photograph on another site and my first thoughts were Disgraceful!!!!! what's your thoughts?

It´s horrible. I can´t believe he´s siting on Dodger´s grave.

[debtdbruno]

he isn't Nicole.........he's squatting. Not 'on' it

[presley31]

Doesn't look like he is sitting on the grave but he should abide by the rules and stay where it's allowed.

I agree. There is a reason that fence is there. I have never stepped on someone else's grave. My dad always told me it was disrespectful to do so. I would be very upset if I saw someone sitting or standing on my mom or my daughter's grave. I know that guy was just trying to feel closer to Elvis but I do think it's disrespectful.

This came from the FECC forum.
Yes it was inappropriate but he is a genuine (and enthusiastic) fan, no disrespect was intended and I'm sure he now realises the error in judgment.

I think unless your family you should stay behind the fence. Roseanne did it very tastefully.

[john carpenter]

as for Rosanne, she is being very respectful. The guy shouldn't have overstepped the iron fence thingy.lol.When i pass a grave i always walk about 6 feet in front of where the body lies. i always have.

I would imagine the majority of people are respectful. You always get the exceptions though!

[debtdbruno]

I don't think he did it maliciously, he comes across as a bit 'exuberant'

All his Memphis pics he had taken, sightings etc....he had with himself on them.........

[dstrattenfan]

I don't know I can't see any disgrace in this photo I don't think he is siting on grave he just trying crouch down because photographer want to capture grave with him.

dj ethan we all know you have fantastic imagination I like to thank you again for fantastic remixes and videos...

That was exactly what I noticed....But at first glance it does look like he is sitting on the grave

I agree with you , but

I think this picture is a fake, a montage..

[Diane]

I don't think this guy meant any harm but I think he should have respected the wishes of Elvis' family.

[debtdbruno]

to be quite honest, I don't know how he got over the fence without the guards seeing him.They were watching everyone like hawks

[Erhan]

yes because He is carefully keeping his topcoat's back side tight on his azz with his elbows so that makes his azz look square as siting on the grave.
Hey you fans he came much closer to elvis than you all don't be jealous he did it we even never think of it, there is nothing disgraceful only full of courage and luck
He came to right pace on right time (like Elvis did ))) case is closed acquitted...)

[See See Rider]

I enlarged the photo. He is not on the grave . He is kneeling between both graves!

[UDnKY]

I can imagine that this person meant no harm with it and is a big Elvisfan...... but with a little common sense,he would have know not to do this. I think it's wrong...

I totally agree.

[The King's Queen]

I see no malice here. I think he just wanted to pay his respects and to take home a pic of himself honoring Elvis in a loving manner. Had he done something such as actually sit on Dodger's grave or make a disrespectful gesture of some sort, then that would have been different. I know there are boundaries and that they have those rules for reasons...but I can sort of understand his desire to be close to the grave. When we visit graves of those we love, it is not at all unusual for us to crouch down at the graveside and pay our respects. I think he was doing just that! May have broke the rules, but hey, we all have at one point or another!

[TotallyInsane]

Frankly my dear, I don't give a ****.
