Graffiti is not art. There is no such thing as a “graffiti artist.” Dead or alive. If he were an artist he would have been working in a studio where he would have been much less likely to get run over by any sort of car.
Graffiti artist? Is there irony in this vandal being “tagged” to death?
The chief told me to go out and run down the usual suspects...
“Tag, you’re dead.”
You guys are funny.
headline should read......”Criminal Dies While Trying To Evade Arrest”
I wish all the people who complain about his death have their home visited by a “graffiti artist”.
“Vincent, your painting is going to be the death of you yet”...mom
“graffiti artist” is an oxymoron.
It should have said "OWNED".

The police car that hit him was exercised "impact therapy" to the grafitti artist.
