ANAHEIM – For the second time in about a week a person in Orange County has been viciously attacked after reportedly confronting a group of taggers. On Sunday night, a man was chased, beaten and stabbed by a group of taggers, which he had confronted in an attempt to keep them from vandalizing a vacant building in Anaheim, police said. Anaheim police responded to reports of a stabbing around 9:30 p.m. in the 2600 block of West Lincoln Avenue. The man, in his 40s, had confronted multiple people who were spray painting graffiti on a wall of the unoccupied building and got into a argument with them, police Officer John Hasso said. The building is across the street from a bar in a mixed residential and commercial area. “The group then chased him, stabbed him and assaulted him, possibly by kicking him,” Hasso said. He was stabbed once in the lower back near South Stinson Street before another man “saw the incident, retrieved a handgun and shot four to five rounds into the air to stop the assault,” police Lt. Eric Trapp said. Officials said the gunshots caused the taggers to run and flee in a dark-colored Nissan sedan. Authorities did not immediately identify the man. who was taken to a hospital initially in critical condition, but later stabilized. The incident comes a week after Dave Douglas, 51, was shot to death just two miles away in an unincorporated area west of the city after Sheriff’s Department officials say he also confronted a group of taggers near his home...

OK, I give up. What are “taggers”? Is it synonymous with “Amish” ?

All that should be required to correct the situation is a hunting license and bounty.

“Gang graffiti perhaps”

No ‘perhaps’ about it, marking territory is what graffiti out here in SoCal is about. Gangs marking their territory.

And these gangs are multi-generational. Grandkids in the same gang as their grandfathers. Prison time is regarded like going to college. A badge of honor. I’ve seen mothers stop the car to let their grade school kids out to go tag a wall.

People need to know more about the culture that is swamping the United States. It’s not the ‘act of love’ crap that the idiot Jeb Bush spouts. This graffiti stuff and the violence that goes with it is what we are getting. They need to be deported back to their own countries. They have needed deporting for decades.

It's an MLB team in Detroit.

Anyone who thinks he or she is going to “reason” with a bunch of hardcore MS-13 gang members in the midst of tagging needs to have his / her head examined.

Tagging is spraying graffiti on walls and buildings as a claim of territory.

Sometimes that territory includes your house. In SoCal it’s mostly latino gang activity.

Nothing will happen while the Dems and GOPe are pandering to criminals. They’ll tell you to shut up, learn Spanish, and love your new overlords.

It’s not just MS-13 but they are one of the worst.

They come and go across the border as they please and control entire neighborhoods in LA and Orange County.

I’ve been in SoCal that long. It went from ‘rarely seen’ to ‘everywhere’.

Thank you, Bush, Obama, and the rest of the treason lobby.

The police department was always trying to recruit my late father, who had just retired from the Marine Corps. This is why he never took them up on it.

20 Years ago when I started going to CA regularly, I remember seeing barbed wire on the overhead interstate signs.

Always was disappointed by that. Wanted one of those little morons to fall off one and be turned into Kibble, and Bits by a rig.

I swear officer, damn little mexican kid just fell out of the sky. Heck it rains cats and dogs back east, who knew it rained bloods and crips in CA.

Let's not call them "taggers", but by their proper name.

Vandals

I prefer to think of it as ‘spraying them with a heavy coat’...
