Sub-human excrement,from the bowels of the getto.....Artist yeah right!!!!! If their such an artist,why aren't they getting paid ? Whats their day job,if they have one?
Do you know how much it takes ,for the railroads to paint a freight car after the thug artist do their scribeings ? I don't know for sure,but I bet it's a pretty penny. These are the type of sub-humans that have all the time in the world.While the rest of us work and support them...if you get my meaning. Thats right welfare,as for the guy who paints his stupid pictures on the side of freight cars and then cashes in on suckers that buy his web base crap like coasters,coffee cups , kid's T-shirts ECT. Sure ...help the welfare bums some more. Artist yeah right !!!!!!!

Lock it down? I wonder why the post has been relatively civil with no mention of guns or personal attacks until today, Sunday even. Sure it is obvious I do not like graffiti and am happy to state that when someone tries to justify their graffiti penchant. However, vigilante actions with guns and clubs may seem extreme. Clean up, public service and restitution might eventually get the word out graffiti is illegal and not to be tolerated. Other cultures and societies may well go for public caning or removal of digits and I am not sure I would support such over here in the US.

I am not so sure 'you got nothing' is trolling but just trying to justify his love for his destructive hobby. I can not find any reasonable argument he has presented and have tried to point out the falacies of his point of view. If a year of hard public service labor and a $2500 fine has not changed his mind, I am pretty sure I will not. Obviously he has not considered his actions from the other point of view. Perhaps I can make that argument to him since I doubt he gets that from the crowd he hangs with.

So rather than locking the thread account it has suddenly dropped to the level of threats and name calling as well as vulgarity, the last several posters should go back and read the pro-graffiti arguments and compose a response to show why they are not acceptable to the rest of us. It was a nice discourse of sorts until this morning.
