All #iceagents are really the #resurrectionists who destroyed our #Capitol trump let go as he entered office. They’re vicious #thugs invading our homes. #supremecourt #justiceroberts are you watching. You allowed this to happen. You’re all being blackmailed by exposure on the #epsteinlist. #msnbc
Different Types of #Mortsafe than what I have normally seen. With stone weight built on top of cage.

A #mortsafe is a heavy iron cage or grille that was placed over a grave to prevent body snatching. There are different ones around #Scotland, these happen to be in #LogieraitChurchyard
Perth and Kinross. Mortsafes were a response to the practice of #Resurrectionists stealing corpses.
