Brian Schroeder set a section of Memorial Park chapel which houses remains of victims of the November 11, 2001 attacks. The man was arrested and will be faced with chargers of criminal mischief. Benches in the chapel and family mementos were damaged in the fire. Memorial Park is a big white tent that is a temporary place for unclaimed or unidentified remains. The remains will be transported to the World Trade Center Memorial once it is completed.


I don't understand why anybody would want to burn remains of peoples belongings or anything like that. I don't think it would affect anyone else except the families of the attacks but even then i don't think they would even want to destroy such things. They should have better security at places like that and these types of things would be able to be avoided better. He should be charged with more than just crinimal mischief if he tried to actually burn something down. They shouldn't be so easy on him just because no people would have been harmed. They are still people's belongings and they mean something to somebody.
