what is the problem with the stupid graff laws? When are the officials will realize that severe punishments for it will not work for either parties? My friend died running from cops after being seen tagging an abandoned building, the building was abandoned for over 20 years, and yet he had to pay with his life, because he didnt want to go to a county jail for spray painting. here is one of the news articles:
Friends of a graffiti artist who died after plunging into the Chicago River in a chase with police paid tribute the best way they knew how Wednesday: spray-painting a mural in his memory on a brick wall behind a Radio Shack in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood.
"Just because he was a graffiti artist doesn't mean he was a bad person," A.J. Harris said of his friend Jason Kitchekeg, 26, a popular presence in the city's close-knit graffiti and tagging community, a ragtag collection of teens and young adults celebrated as artists in some circles and derided as vandals in others.
"He wasn't out being malicious or trying to hurt anyone," Harris said. "Sadly, he went out doing what he loved."
So unfair!!!!
I would love to hear what you the reader of this little post have to say or how you feel about the graffiti in the US!
