CBS) PICO RIVERA, Calif. Authorities advised the public Tuesday not to confront taggers, in response to the fatal shooting of a Pico Rivera woman who flashed her car lights at one.
"We want to be contacted as soon as possible, with any kind of information -- license plate numbers or description of the suspects," sheriff's Deputy Johnnie Jones said. "Do not put yourself at any danger or risk because some of these folks can be very dangerous."
Maria Hicks, 58, flashed her vehicle lights and honked her horn at a male she saw tagging a wall at San Gabriel River Parkway and Woodford Street shortly before 10 on Friday night, said Deputy Maribel Rizo.
As she followed the tagger who was walking away from the wall, a gray compact car with an unknown number of male suspects, drove up behind her and someone fired several rounds at her, Rizo said.
Hicks died of a wound shortly before noon Monday, according to the sheriff's department.
Neighborhood residents repainted the wall where Hicks first saw the tagger and placed lit candles and flowers there.
No arrests have been made. The suspect is described as "very dangerous," according to NBC4.
Hicks was a grandmother of eight and described as a quiet and caring person.
Hicks "paid a high price for the idea of law and order," said Hicks’ brother, Ruben Quintero, an English literature professor at Cal State Los Angeles. "I think we shouldn't give up on that idea since she has already paid the price. We should hold onto this idea of being civilized."
Anyone with information about the shooting can contact the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
Punks, they’ve been hanging around Maplewood Square and jumping senior citizens as they leave the convenience store. An adult at our Italian Feast last weekend recognized one and clocked him.
Yet another argument for sending all gang members to Gitmo.
Hope you like ‘em. I tried the sand grips, but they felt kind of gritty to me. I like the rubber much better.
On the tac light: For me, I like the rail-mounted tac light better on the full sized models. I have an M-3 on my Glock 22.
Licensing and registration of all spray paint purchases
A five day waiting period and one can a month limit
No cans larger than 12 mL or 20 psi of pressure
Remember, this is for the children.
Not long ago I was walking trough a part of Brookline,MA (proud home of Mike Dukakis...very liberal and very,*very* rich) with my sister and noticed some graffitti on the mailbox of a very expensive house.I commented to my sister that the homeowners of that area will be thrilled to see the arrival of that "richly diverse culture".
The city should just run spray trucks through every neighborhood every day. If there is graffitti, spray it, no matter where it is. Paint the town gray.
If Graffitti lasts for less than a day, nobody bothers to put it up.

My grnadfather owned an apartment complex and it got tagged weekly. This is why he finally sold it and this was in the early 80’s in central california.
So now grandmas get shot for flashing their lights at someone? That’s not what I would call a “confrontation”.
TAgger: Gang member marking territory. Like planting a flag.
So we’re allowed to use high-powered rifles? It can be a new sport. If one of them is on a freeway overpass sign, that’s extra points if he falls on the freeway.

I'm also a fan of a henie rear sight mated with a Dawson Precision 019-002 fibre optic front sight. You get a good bit of light on both sides of the front sight which helps acquire a good sight picture quickly even when you are shooting indoors or in the shade and the fibre optic doesn't work as well.
Of course everyone has their own preferences, so you should get what you like.
I get some of the best info, on a variety of topics, on FR.
Thank you! I will check that out.
Here in Spokane we have a local politician who wants to pass an ordinance that bans the sale of cans of spray paint to minors...People don’t tag...Spray paint tags...

Where I live in California all the subdivisions have huge concrete walls around them. They are a prime target for taggers so they plant huge bushes (usually Oleander) in front of the walls to keep taggers away.
Our city/county has a graffiti removal program. You call them with the location and they go out and paint over the tags. They are very busy.
It’s a jungle animal related to a loin....
