In places other than Los Angeles, when graffiti vandals are arrested, they're forced to clean up graffiti.

Los Angeles could be spotless in one weekend using jail labor.

They should be forced to wear their graffiti.

Have some tattoo artists recreate their ‘art’ on their faces, and this would stop...................

Sad. I am sure the wildfires contributed to it too; less flat surfaces to write on. I wonder about Banksy and if he/she would be able to make it an arts display. I was last there in 2010 to run in a marathon. We started pedal at Staples Center, ran South to the Coliseum and made a lap inside, then to the North. I don’t remember gaudy graffiti on structures that weren’t moving. I probably wouldn’t recognize the area today.

"LA Mayor Karen Bass admitted that her city was in such bad shape following the anti-ICE riots that it might not be ready to host the World Cup"

The "anti-ICE riots" had very little to do with the shape of LA. LA and the graffiti has been an eye-sore long before the riots ever happened...

Problem is, you have the graffiti idiots coming right behind you and putting it on again that night.

I think she is talking about a soccer tournament in June 2026, so she has a year to drive a van over to Home Depot and pick up a crew to work on the cleanup. Just make sure you’re using an EV van for the transportation, Karen. And no plastic straws.

It’s not the graffiti, it’s the population themselves, and the people who are unable to control their city that are the problem. B ass is a real piece of deluded work. Belongs in a nursing home for ,saying it nicely, cognitively challenged folk.
The Olympic committee ought to rescind the offer to allow l.a.to host the Olympics as fast as they can (Not that I care anymore about the corrupt Olympics)....”let’s get up close and personal with the solo synchronized swimming team”

That was Arabic..............

No, it wasn't Arabic or any other language; it was just graffiti.

Peggy Fleming in '68.
US Hockey in '80.

Everything since then has been downhill, including John Williams totally adulterating and homogenizing the once excellent theme music.

Aren’t the citizens of LA just expressing their cultural in the form of art?

Sounds pretty racist to remove it.

Boo-hoo. It’s a “World” Cup. Let them go someplace else, if you don’t want them to show what a third-World city LA has become.

Of course.

Nothing is ever a democrat’s fault.

They are the consummate blame shifters.
