Does the OT agree with the restrictions on NO's St. Louis Cemetery No. 1?

Just heard a story on NPR about how the archdiocese closed the cemetery to the general public earlier this year. Tour companies have to pay the archdiocese to operate tours, relatives have to apply for passes, and tourists can only enter by using a licensed tour company.

It sounds like tourists were doing tourist things and stealing things, taking inappropriate selfies, etc.

I don't live there, so I never knew that they put in the restrictions earlier this year.

Is vandalism of the cemetery as bad as they say?

Was the Marie Laveau pink painting incident one of the final straws?

Yes. It needs to be protected.

I like to go to the cemeteries sometimes. I don't want to pay to visit them.

A few weeks ago I came across some girl bragging about pissing on Nic Cages future grave.

Had pics of her doing it and everything.
