Train kills man painting graffiti on boxcar

There are laws on the books here in California that when a criminal is killed in the commission of a crime, his accomplices (sp?) are tried for manslaughter for their part in the commission of the crime. This is true for armed robbery, but I am not sure if this applies in cases where the crime is vandalism. If so, it could lead to a reduction in the amount of vandalism being committed if it were to receive enough publicity. I am not sure what the laws are in Canada, but there are places in SoCal where I would love to see some of these guys get locked up for what they do to public (and often private) property. There are places around L.A. where the sound walls along the freeways get repainted (by vandals) nightly. There is nothing artistic about vandalism. It is a crime, pure and simple. If it were art, it would be on canvas (or some similarly suitable medium). At least that's my opinion.
