There are places where you are actually allowed to "tag." Only one I could think of is at Venice Beach. In my opinion I really don't think that Graffiti is bad. It's only bad if you send out a wrong message right? I've seen some artwork painted hugely on the LA freeway. And all the artwork that is posted on the walls of the freeway are sending out a good message. People can express their feelings through dance, music, writing, why not art? All graffiti doesn't necessarily mean bad, but it's just on the matter of where you tag. I love looking and analyzing good art, and I never consider it bad unless it had a bad message behind it.
For you as a reader, what are your views on taggers?
News Center 4 (KRON-TV San Francisco) reported on the evening news for November 20, 1995 that Sunnyvale Police have arrested fifteen juveniles for some $32,000 of graffiti damage. A one month investigation by diligent officers resulted in the arrest of the vandals. The vandals will be billed for the damage they caused according to the report. If the kids can't pay their parents will. (Comment: As it should be.)
Don't you think that's a little extreme?
