GAAAAAAAAH! This! This is why 80% of my work involves hanging around on construction sites! This is why cultural evaluation has to be done before any construction work begins! To make sure shit like this doesn’t happen! And even in the rare instances when it does after you’ve done your due diligence! You contact! The fucking! Police! If! You! Find! Human! Remains!
The DA’s office is seeking civil penalties against the companies and a court order that will make sure the remains are properly reinterred, as well as preventing the companies from unlawfully disturbing more burial sites.
Civl penalties. So they’ll just have to pay a fucking fine. After willfully ignoring state and federal law, and causing irreparable harm to a Native American burial site. Sure. That’ll teach ‘em. I’m sure they’ll never try to cut corners to save themselves a buck again.
I swear to fucking….
