JSO arrests "SIMON", major graffiti vandel.

According to action news, it's cost local businesses $30,000 to clean up this scum bags "tagging." He needs to make these companies whole again, maybe by repainting their entire business. It's hard enough for companies to make it in a slow economy, add this moron to the mix and it's even worse.
Graffiti ghost sounds like a name a 5 year old came up with, must match his intellect.

Are you that bloodthirsty? Over some paint? What's your preferred punishment for those who instigate violence?

I was kidding.    Are you for having tagging all over street signs, on buildings, on your house?

Personally, as someone who has had to cleanup tagging from some idiot like this , Im pretty sick of the damage they inflict on property that is not theirs. 

Let them tag your house . I think you may change your tune.  At the very least, if caught they should have to personally undo ALL of their messes.

What about this? Saw that this guy Ganz, or Gonzo, did this next to Arl Expwy

Oh boy, how to decide?  Does one piece of visual blight cancel out another?

By visual blight, I assume you're referring to the vandalism and not to the Arlington Expressway?

[Dog Walker]

Good one!  Billboards and graffiti tags are both visual blight.  Without them the Arlington Expressway wouldn't look bad at all.

I agree about billboards and graffiti. But even without them, I think the expressway would look pretty beat down.

^ That is because it is pretty beat down

There should be a free/legal wall to paint on. Btw, they can still have paint cans in their hands, I don't know who or how you guys got that info, but it was wrong. Bail was set too high. "SIMON" or "LOVE" whatever he goes by now, was the one who turned in the other two

Welcome to the forum Brett!

Sounds like a lucrative project for someone like you.

If I were forced by a federal prosecutor to face 35 years in federal prison or identify the person who painted this, my first guess would be that it was painted by the same person who posted this to the forum.

Groundless speculation, but hey... I would be facing 35 years, and it seems a fairly logical assumption based on this being your first and only post.

I don't have anything to add to the conversation, really, but it seems that even if we didn't have all these LARGE canvases, the 'artists' would still find a way to express themselves....

50+ years and still going.

I know that I'm probably not breaking any news with many eagle-eyed DTers, but did yall see the south-face of the Florida Life Building (I believe) up top on the roof, it has a giant graffiti'd "TESLA". Now that's definitely some professional NYC-style stuff as you can see it all the way down Laura St damn near the Landing.
