Oops. I knew I should have gone for “too clumsy for this job” instead.

If I had my way tagging would be a death penalty offense - on the spot.

You do it and there will be a sub-culture (soon to be mainstream culture) blog out there glorifying your anti-society “Stick it to the man!” artistic efforts. I signed up on Stumble and tried to limit it to art that I like to look at, but instead, I was treated to dark collections of angst-ridden angry, self-absorbed “artists” who are held up as heroes for purposefully shocking and offending people. Property-defacing graffiti is recognized and touted as a high art form among this group.

Unfortunately the victim in this case is the pickup driver. The taggers family will sue and his auto insurance will pay some unbelievable amount then raise his rates or drop him.

I see only one difference in these gang banging taggers and dogs in the street urinating on everything to mark their territory......the dogs aren’t nearly as dangerous.

Misunderstood ‘youths’....Pftt! They’re animals.

Somehow, unlike other “artiste” who died poor and tragedly for their love of art,I doubt he will become famous.

I always want to ask graffiti apologists if the hoodlums spray painted THEIR car or THEIR front door would they still call it “art”.

And now there’s a Chalk Outline of him to record his being there.

Maybe the cops just used his spray paint.

This occurred in Florida? Well then, THIS seems appropriate:

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
