The USA needs to emulate Singapore if we really want to deter feral urbans from marking their territories:

“It is an offence under the Act to commit any act of vandalism, attempt to do any such act or cause any such act to be done. Upon conviction, the penalty is a fine not exceeding S$2,000 or imprisonment not exceeding three years, and also the corporal punishment of not less than three strokes and not more than eight strokes of the cane.

However, caning will not be imposed on a first conviction if the activities carried out falls within section 2(a)(i) and “the writing, drawing, mark or inscription is done with pencil, crayon, chalk or other delible substance or thing and not with paint, tar or other indelible substance or thing”, or within sections 2(a)(ii) or (iii).”

<>And who could forget Swiss national Oliver Fricker in 2010 who pleaded guilty to charges of trespassing into a MassRapid Transit depot and spray-painting a train with an accomplice? Fricker was sentenced to five months’ jail and three strokes of the cane. On appeal, the High Court increased his total jail term to seven months.<>

Love it!
