[nego9444]

If you don't see the difference between breaking a window, and graffiti, that's YOUR problem, duchebag. Then your not one of us who appreciate this form of art. and i feel sorry for you, cause graffiti must piss you off quite a lot then.. poor bastard..

[unfased123]

[FreightCarPainter]

Good graff is art. I do it everyday and if anyone thinks any shit of it, then BRING IT ON. Obviously these idiots can`t accept true art so well, fuck them.

[666Andyness666]

i swear, people who dont do graffiti dont know a single thing about it. "they will tag anything" we dont tag churches houses cars and everyone thinks that all graffiti is gange related. that pisses me off.

[DripRdz]

stupid ass cop, " i dont think there wont be a location or place where they won't do it on" wat a fucking dumb ass the only place where they wont do it is in your fucking house at least they respect peoples cars and houses, everything else is gonna get bombed and tagged.

[arby3333]

i hate white people

[808sk8terboy]

why are people worried about graffiti? i mean if the piece is un appropriate then i could see why its illegal but real graffiti?why is that illegal?

[TheBlackAndWhiteMan]

know your history.

"real graffiti" is illegal, bombing shit, trains, burners then a piece once a few.

fake graffiti is pure ass legal shit canvas 24/7, fuck that.

[RackBombRepeat]

word

[Bewkz]

double word.

[akar3m0]

two sides to the story.

[BombingIowa]

GRAFFITI IS A CRIME!

but its a very fun crime...

[the80h]

i see all graffiti as art. it gets me so mad when they cover it to make it look nice. but insed of makeing it look nice now theres a huge color spot that doesnt match the wall at all. why isnt that called graffiti.

if we get paint that almost matches a wall and paint the name you use. is that called vandalism.

but in the end would you rather have a huge color spot on your wall or a nice colorfull peice of art.

[domyone]

you cant compare graffiti with murder, rap, theft or arson. these are totaly different things. the motivation, the way you do graffiti, the effect you want to reach, everything is totally different to arson, theft, rape and murder which are man-made problems. and to put somebody in prison wont be the right way you have to analize the social reasons, try to find the roots!

[burton1928]

Same that they all have no respect for other people. They only care about themselves and don't care if it cost property owners money to publish their own art.

[eatshrapnle]

no no, the care about other people, they're giving them something better than a blank wall, it's like "surprise, marry christmas!"

[burton1928]

Blank wall is better than a wall of vandal.

[charminbaer]

burton do you know the definition of vandalism??  or did you read it at wikipedia? graffiti is NO vandalism its online called so.

no body needs blank walls they are everywhere. we need much more creativity and expressions of feelings, opinions or what else but no more blank walls.

please tell why do you prefer blank walls? WHY?

[burton1928]

Yes, graffiti itself is not vandalism.

But in this context, where graffiti is forced upon others, it is vandalism.

Many people prefer blank walls over graffiti. But that's not the point. The point is that it is their wall. If the owner wants graffiti on it, let it be. But without the owner's consent, it is vandalism.

[domyone]

at the end it is about morality and ethics. and if you ask me this artform questions (private)property. some people believe that this wall only belongs to itself.

Don't hate the Player; hate the game!

[burton1928]

Just because some think that the wall belongs to itself doesn't make it so. Some believe that murder is legal doesn't mean it's legal.

[domyone]

things belong to themselve thats a fact.

[burton1928]

A car doesn't belong to itself if you bought it.  A wall doesn't belong to itself if it's part of someone's house.

[domyone]

If you change a thing that only belongs to itself for another thing that belongs to itself does not mean that it is rightfull to OWN them. you have to beware, do not make yourself a "slave" of material things.

[burton1928]

If what you said is correct, then there would be no such thing as stealing. Because everything "that only belongs to itself for another thing that belongs to itself does not mean that it is rightfull to OWN them". Stealing money would not be illegal because money itself "belongs to itself".

[domyone]

would be great, huh?

[ladski]

call it wat ever u wont m8 watever helps u sleep at nyt. its all use cunts fault u give us a bad name n think its vandal get in to the art work den ur oppion will change see it through our eyes bra we got no were 2 paint..were else r we spose 2?

[burton1928]

I don't write/tag on your property to express myself. See it through the property owner's eyes.

[domyone]

in march ;i guess, i've seen a painted train in dortmund(germany) at the main station and the sentence 'only god can judge me' was painted end to end on the last car. i had goosebumps allover.

[mce2122]

there are places where it wont go: churches u call it a crime i call it a work of art

[selloutsincorporated]

graf n ska8ing is awesome fuking kill da fags who don agree wit me

[TehKoolOne]

This is my take. You paint on a wall. It's still a wall right? It still does the duty it was doing way before any taggers hit it. Same with trains. You tag a train it still carries stuff right? I agree Boogie. Don't waste your time busting people who write on walls. Go after who are selling drugs ect.

[goleta6217]

Two teenagers arrested for vandalism

15-year-old boys were arrested on charges of tagging a wall on the north side of West Gerard Avenue, Sgt. Tony Aponte of the Merced Police Department said. The teens were booked into Merced County Juvenile Hall on charges of possession of graffit instruments and vandalism.

[LABEL43]

You dont go to juvenile hall. U just go to station get ur ticket and ur out.

[goleta6217]

Taggers who get caught can face up to a 300 dollar fine per offense, and up to 90 days in jail.

[domyone]

dont you think that it is stupid to put teenagers in jail and/or making them pay fines over hundreds oder thousands of dollars just for changing the look of a surface??

[burton1928]

I think it's smart to put away vandals that causes thousands of dollars worth of damage.

[domyone]

And I think that it is ridiculous to 'put somebody away' who is painting on public objects.

Graffiti itself, not vandalism in general, is just such expensive beacause you say it is not permitted and so it has no right to exist.

'smart to put somebody away' - do you even recognize how perverted this sounds?

Throwing rocks into windows is not the same as putting paint on surfaces.

[burton1928]

I said it's "smart to put somebody away" who defaces property belonging to another or to the public.

I don't have problem with graffiti itself, but it's disrespectful when artists force it on others by painting it on public & private property.

[domyone]

Well, defacing or not defacing, this is a very subjective sensation/question...

Private property, if you ask me the whole art form questions private property.

I cannot understand how I or somebody else should respect and appreciate a system and those who support it, which is full of (social)injustice.

[mce2122]

your totaly right mate u carnt just put a graff artist in jail beacuse u dont like the things they do in my mind thats a degree of raceism its like saying to immigrants fuk off we dont like u we dont need u which is so wrong u carnt stop graffiti its more than an art its a culture.

[burton1928]

People put graffiti artists to jail not because people don't like their art. It's bc they deface other's property.

[mce2122]

is public property not for all of the public?

[burton1928]

Public is the keyword. Who are "you" to decide for everyone else what the public wall should look like!

[domyone]

who are 'you' to say people should be thrown in jail?

[burton1928]

it's the same "you" that said other vandals and murder should put to jail

[mce2122]

if i dont make a decision who will da big shot mayors and cancelers? what say do i have in what my city looks like other than a vote and i dont have that cause im not old enught

[burton1928]

If I started tagging the word "idiot" on your front door and tell you that's my art, how would you feel?!

[mce2122]

mate i wouldnt notice cause theres taggs all over my house so nar i wouldnt mind my house is an art gallarey

[burton1928]

It's art in your house bc you approve of it. It's not art when you tag on other's property without their approval. That's vandal.

[mce2122]

mate i got toys that come n tagg on my house n i dont like it dont want it there but its there n u have to appreicate what the artist was doing cause to them its like the mona lisa

[burton1928]

This is a free country. Who are u to tell me what I should and should not appreciate? Who are u to tell others what they should put on their walls?

[mce2122]

well if its a free country then i may as well come round to ur place and tagg on ur fence cause i can cause we live in a free country

[burton1928]

free within the law. Free country doesn't mean u are free to deface others' property.

[mce2122]

then why use the word free when its not its really a free under restriction then. and if u wanna start tlakin about the law bring it cause graffiti aint totally illegal u fukin dumb cunt everherd of a legal wall???

[burton1928]

Yea, the word free doesn't mean free to do anything I want. For example, people are not free to murder and rape. Graffiti itself is art. But when it is forced upon others, then it's illegal/vandal.

[ladski]

you can sit there an argue all u wont it is not gunna change anything...to all of the graffiti artist an myself we call it art d only reason why its illegal is bcoz the piggers an d government have no say in the matter it happins weather they like it or not and its gunna continue..ders nuffin like clipin a fence an waitin for dat train to rock u should try it sumtym u might like it

[burton1928]

you also can sit there and argue all YOU want, but it's not gonna change the fact that it's vandal. It's illegal not because ppl think graffiti is not art. It's because ppl force their art on others without consent.

[ladski]

an do u no wat im gunna bomb, panel n thrash d fuk out of anythin dat i come i cross call it wat u want ... but i call it life like it or Fuk off simple..d quicker d gtf u n anyother graffiti h8n fag out der gets it through der head dat we cant b stoped d betta it will b :p

[burton1928]

You are not the only person living on this planet. We don't have to take this crap whether YOU like it or not. I think illegal graffiti will be here forever. But it just sad that homeowners have to spend money to clean up your vandals.

[ladski]

its art buddy get use 2 it.....u might not but all d writers pingin of der head c a fukin picaso

[burton1928]

I don't care if u are Michelangelo. consent=art without consent= vandal

[domyone]

you think that graffiti will be there for ever?!(me too btw) so why dont you try to be kool with it? graffiti will be there for ever, so you have the choice between accepting it or fighting an endless(and because of that senseless!) war.

[burton1928]

Graffiti,rape, arson, burglary, murder, and theft will all be here forever. We have the choice between accepting it or fighting it.

[mancia1213]

fighting or ingnoring it. its never gonna stop

[burton1928]

:) haahhah

[mancia1213]

just for saying that ima go big on the freeway

[domyone]

so everyone who is letting his dog defecate on the street should be thrown in jail.

[burton1928]

you didn't know that they get a fine for that?

[domyone]

i know that but if they are doing it more then 2 times they should be put into to all the other vandalists.

and if there is a fine or not depends on the country. but there are still many people who dont care, maybe they think they are doing art.

[burton1928]

the fact is, you don't want dog defecate on your street and you don't want others to force their art work on your property.

[mce2122]

fuk off bra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jboogie2192]

Yeah the guy under me is soo true. itll never stop soo why try and dont come at me with that bullshit saying you guys can stop it cuz you cant no matter what you do. and who cares its not the same as throwing a rock at a window cuz honesyly you can clean a window but not put one together soo easily fuck pigs peace..

[TraceurMikado]

if we think how we can use the cleaning moneys to somethink usefull, I'll say they use like a canser scientist its more usefull there ... graffiti dont hamrm nobodys feelings or place them to danger people think so wrong. I'll do graffiti even when im 70years old... graffiti will never die. its lifestyle and people must try life with it or just waste their money to clean it.

Peace

[mancia1213]

dat cop is a fucker. throwing a rock at a window is not like tagging something up. breaking a window is more expensive and makes the building look like its abanded. graffiti makes a building look artful and its makes the building stand out

[TraceurMikado]

artists! NOT vandals!

[goleta6217]

it's vandal when you paint art without consent

[mancia1213]

fuck it. theres alot illegal stuff, people doing drugs, street racing, killing and other shit. we do graffiti

[activesk8r91]

Ups son all it is is UPS. not gang related or any of the bullshit you hear from haters. we dont care what you say bout graff were here and graffiti well always be around.

- Spur 1R

[spinypine44]

were not ruining walls were beautifying them were just trying to get up

[goleta6217]

nah, it's ugly

[TehKoolOne]

This is my take. You paint on a wall. It's still a wall right? It still does the duty it was doing way before any taggers hit it. Same with trains. You tag a train it still carries stuff right? I agree Boogie. Don't waste your time busting people who write on walls. Go after who are selling drugs ect.

[goleta6217]

That's like saying a girl who was raped is the same girl.

[TehKoolOne]

No.

[freddyjr6]

well i guess if us graffiti artists are vandalising walls might as well pour gas on the wall and set it on fire

[Kilotonhex]

4 year college degree 2 years spent doing geology work for a musume. and 8 years spent sparyin up and hitin rail cars. now tell me I'm stupid. fuckin system .. hell a nasty over grown weedy aley way with a nice peice looks better than just a trashy aley way a rusted rail car gets a free paint job and becomes a rollin peice of art.

[HelloMyNameIsVaux]

more crap being fed to the masses,,, Eh so many people mis-informed

[krylonshoe]

its jus takin public space back from big dollar corporations. FUCK CORPORATE AMERICA AND FUCK THE POLICE!

[sk8alad]

err thats dum graffiti is way different then a rock through a window a rock through a window is smashing a window and makes the window look shit graffiti blesses our city's with colour and beuty

[yesyesgraffiti]

youtube: yes yes graffiti

[Skatenspray]

Thanks for the comments guys.

I didnt even think i would get more than 10 comments. yeah that cops a dick he works for my cities graffiti squad of the police. a the funny thing is they only believe its bad because thats what they were taught when they were younger and most people are afraid to question what they have been told.

[BlazeGreenwood]

same uninformed shit..

[jboogie2192]

writing on walls doesent hurt people worry about graffiti but while there busting some young kids a asshole is seeling a drug to some kid or some girl is getting raped or a house is being broken into RIP TIE killed by a guy who killed a graffiti writer for nothing

[volcomkr3w100]

damn man i tag and ppl call me a hoodlum

im not though,they just haters

SaVe------->TbK:SmC:Rp

[LABEL43]

Writting in a wall never hurted anyone before did it??... Guns,knifes,Violence do..thats crime!

[rmkrider02]

i agree!!

[goleta6217]

It hurts my eyes.

It also decrease property value, increase crime, and it cost money to clean it up.

[randomism]

if it hurts your eyes so much, then dont look at it.

-Scan1 KST

[goleta6217]

Cannot because graffit artists paint their art at public places( such as our schools, homes, walls).

[randomism]

well tough shit. then just deal with it

[goleta6217]

come on people, it's our earth here!

It's all we got. Stop destroying ur community.

[randomism]

throwing a rock at a window is destroying something. painting something isnt gonna hurt someone.

for example, if i paint a train its still gonna work exactly the same, but theres just gonna be paint on it. but if i put a bomb in it and blow it up, then thats definetely destroying something.

[goleta6217]

School officials have spent $32,100 on labor and supplies so far this school year to clean up graffiti on the district's buildings.

[randomism]

its really not expensive to buy paint just to cover it up. your just telling me what the total price is so it seems expensive. just go to home depot and buy some gray paint to cover it up. its only like 5 bucks, so stop bitching.

i could really care less about how much they spend to cover graffiti up. YOU CANT STOP GRAFFITI

-ScanOne

[goleta6217]

Besides paint, other costs includes labor, time, and other expenses like gas to go Home Depot. Just like other crimes such as rape and murder, it's hard/impossible to stop. All I'm asking is to have respect for other's property.

[randomism]

look, i dont tag other peoples houses. i just do it on trains those big corporate company's places. not stuff that belongs to a certain person tho. but your not gonna stop me from tagging

[DrumNBassFace]

people will never respect graffiti or the writters. they think we're all stupid hoodlums. most graffers are pretty damn smart id like to think

[goleta6217]

smart people do stupid things

[Jspinfreed75]

"its no different than throwing a rock through a window"

wow most retarded thing ever said about graffiti um yo pig dur da dur ya it is idk bout some people but i dont hit up on houses or shit jus walls an to replace a window costs hundreds of dollars compared to removing graff which is a paint roller an a bucket of paint not even 30 dollars

[goleta6217]

School officials have spent $32,100 on labor and supplies so far this school year to clean up graffiti on the district's buildings.

[Graffkulture11899]

its a form of art...i bet that cop cant support his fact that artists are criminals..did someone get raped?,did someone get killed,mugged,shot? no..when u throw a rock at a window you HAVE to replace it of course but if a wall that isnt even yur on fucking property gets tagged,written etc. its not gonna blow the damn place up.....

[Halo19900]

fuckkkk the pollllice

[KingOfThe4Way]

What does a bitch redneck cop know about graff,"There criminals" I would bust his face.

[SandyCarlson]

The art speaks for itself. Thanks for posting this.

[dontbleedthadalo]

what a doushebag cop saying its the same as THROWING A ROCK THROUGH A WINDOW fuck you po-po's!

[Ilovedutchchees]

It should be funny if someone walked walked by and sprayed the cops eyes:)
