While there are crimes that make bigger headlines..crimes that merit task forces and special operations, little is more galling than people who deface property through things like graffiti or tire slashing or keying.
You want to hit me over the head and steal money to buy whatever, I can at least understand the motive...But destroying or defacing property for no reason other than it feels good..that's moronic.
One of those perpetrators was nabbed this weekend when an alert citizen called police and it resulted in the arrest of a 30 year graffiti sprayer. (notice I did not say 'artist')
Normally, we chroniclers of the human condition don't even write about that kind of crime...not because its not important, but because pubicity is just the kind of encouragement these people need.
Thank you to Amber Plummer for spotting the crime and calling it in.

The all the graffiti gangs know who snitched?
How much community time? tHE JUDGE NEEDS TO HAND OUT CLEANING. Not easy jail.
graffiti IS art
It looks a lot better than that mural, or whatever it is down by JBWise.
Graffiti is unbidden, usually scribbled and scrawled words or images that are NOT art! If you don't own or rent a building you may not deface it with your garbage.
Agree with the JB Wise comment. Who ever did that shoukd be in jail. It looks horrible!
God only knows why the JB deal doesn't get re-done? But I love the fact that this one moron will be stopped from putting crap on on downtown buildings. I mean his paint wasn't even gang related. I can respect someoene being proud of their gang.
30 years old & nothing better to do? He should be fined at the highest dollar amount possible & should be put to work cleaning up his & others graffiti.
Haha somebody said that is art,makes me remember the welfare anthem movie "Beatstreet" about some stupid rappers/graffiti dorks..the only thing dopier than being thirty years old and putting that crap on someone else's property is that at least one above thinks it is art..
Graffiti may be art but you need to add the 'F' before the 'art!'
Yes please paint over the JB Wise mural! That is an embarrassment to the city. Maybe some graffiti will find its way on it. It will only improve it. I hope the city didn't pay for that to be done.
