The problems that arise from getting caught doing what you love/are addicted to are so hard to shake that if I were a tagger I'd carry a piece for sure. Why not embrace spray paint art, and create thousands of valid places and venues for all this rage and emotion to pour out? It would be a hell of a lot cheaper to view taggers as citizens, instead of as "criminals".</p> http://laist.com/2008/08/01/graffiti_is_a_911_calls.php#comment-1425888 http://laist.com/2008/08/01/graffiti_is_a_911_calls.php#comment-1425888 Comments Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:47:09 -0800 <p>The stupid gang graffiti is so gross. they should all have spray paint tattooed on their faces.</p>
