Visitors from within USA or Illegals traveling thru???
City people... Same thing happens to our lakes and rivers. City people come out and trash them like they do their own.
City people... Bet you have seen it in your neck of the woods too?
If I were a judge I would tell them to bring in their favorite clothes, their car, etc and right in front of them I would cover it all in graffiti.
How sad and depressing.
I’ve noted graffiti turning up sometimes in nice neighborhoods in recent years. Now the gang banger graffiti bandits are going into the countryside?
Why do these gang types feel such a strong need to mark their territory like that?
Graffiti in what languages?
When all kids hear in school is what a hateful and racist this country was founded on, why would they respect any work of art or national monument? Look what they did to all the historical paintings and statues. Covered them up or destroyed them because they triggered somebody ... boo hoo boo hoo.
Dogs piss on every tree and fire hydrant...
It’s probably suburb ‘yoots’ trying to act gangstah like they see on TV, utube,fakebook..... Too much social media, not enough hard work.
Y’all should see what the black spring break crowd does to Biloxi Beach.

Illegals traveling through Navajo lands? Sad to think they’d trash the place after the Navajo getting hit so horribly by COVID-19.

Like respecting historical statues?

They’re animals, and it’s equivalent to pissing on things to mark their territory.
I was up at Donner Pass tunnels over the weekend and was disgusted by The amount of graffiti on everything. Animal markings, not Art. People doing this should be prosecuted and jailed. Never should be acceptable.
Pfffffffffffffft!
