as cool and artistic as it may have become, ultimately if you choose to do it on property that it is not yours, you are committing a crime. face up to it. i love graffiti, not that i can do it, but i love to look at it, on the streets at on canvas... but that doesn't excuse it. old school writers accepted their fate, they knew it was a crime. what's up with kids today crying about being thrown in jail for shit.
if you write your name 100 times in 100 different places, calculate the cost of cleaning that. it runs into the thousands. doesn't seem so harmless anymore.
with regards to having markers and spray cans, i can see no reason to be wandering the streets holding these if you have them for a legal reason, if you're on your way somewhere i'm sure it's no problem, as is the same for a hammer. if i buy a hammer and walk home with it in a bag, no problem. if i sat on the sidewalk, holding a hammer at night, hammer takes on a different meaning.
or something.
blah.
- not denying its a crime. but am opposed to the punishment being so out of line with the crimeautoflavour
- but with a hammer you dont have to prove you are not going to smash a window.autoflavour
- well you do, it is class an offensive weapon... theres no legit reason to sit around with cans of paint on the streets.Hoax
- and 6 months jail time / $2000 fine, for causing upwards of $2000 of damage? disproportionate?Hoax
