[quote user="RR Redneck"][quote user="Reno Sparky"] [quote user="ericsp"]If he had not been committing a crime he would still be alive.[/quote]Maybe, but painting a mural shouldn't be a crime.  In L.A., the local council let some of these graffitti artists satisfy their need to paint by creating murals.  Some are in underpasses, some are close to the tracks so train passengers can see.  These murals are not ugly---they really are impressive.  It's the gang graffiti artists that I can't stand. [/quote]Take a close look at the graffiti on a lot of trains. A fairly large majority of it IS NOT art. It is gang related trash! [/quote]  Make no mistake, this is not art. If someone wants to make "art" they have plenty of law abiding outlets to do so. Take a class at your local community college or local YMCA or go through your yellow pages or the internet and buy some supplies like oh I don't know a piece of paper and some paint. In other spots of this forum or model railroaders who build exquisite models of pieces of railroad equipment and the world around them.There are plenty of legal outlets to display your creativity. I think maybe some judge should let people go and trash the graffiti artists' houses and cars and belongings and see if they still consider that "Self Expression". See if they think those are "nice pieces".
