ATHENS, Tenn. — Two teenaged boys were just hanging around professing their love for their girlfriends — in graffiti. Michael Clark and Matthew Musnicki, both 18, were dangling from a rope tied to an interstate bridge and trying to spray paint their mates' names on the concrete when they were stopped in the act.

Sheriff's Deputy Melissa Myers, who spied the odd scene from her patrol car, arrested the pair on the spot for the stunt. "It was two guys spray painting names of girls they liked," Myers told FOX News on Thursday.

I remember the time when the Deputy would have taken their paint and given them a good talking to. Nowadays everyone needs a criminal record if at all possible, more control that way.

Sorry, I can’t feel sorry for punks who do graffiti.

If you have to haul a bucket of paint to the top of the water tower to defend your sister’s honor.......

You might be a redneck.
