A man who was found dead hanging by a rope off an 18-story Sacramento high-rise appears to have been a graffiti tagger, Sacramento police said Monday.
Fire Battalion Chief Marc Bentovoja said the man appears to have died accidentally of asphyxiation when he created a harness from the rope and lowered himself down the east side of the office building.
"From everything we can tell, he didn't have any special rope rappelling equipment on, climbing equipment or anything like that," he said. "He appeared to be looped into the rope."
A police department dispatch supervisor said Monday afternoon that investigators found a can of spray paint and a tool for etching glass on the part of a balcony where the ropes were anchored.

Looks like this tagger's show was cancelled for good...

The problem is that this ghetto tagger has probably already sired two or three or twelve baby-mama perpetrators.

Best not to tie the safety rope around your neck.

Give me a million dollar gov. grant and I’ll put together a study to get to the bottom of this problem.

These taggers have been called modern artists. Perhaps this was the ultimate performance art?

He died doing what he loved: damaging other people’s property while the world stared and pointed at him.

Formally named the 1201 K Tower, the building houses offices for lobbyists, public relations businesses and law firms that do business two blocks away at the Capitol.The M.O. and target strongly suggest that the decedent was not black.

One does not have to be black to be from a) a ghetto, or b) have one, three, five baby-mamas....
“Ghetto” is a state of mind and environment; color sometimes has something to do with it, but not always.
