>>  Bad *** tag.EvanCarroll: What's bad *** about it? There is nothing new or original.  Looks like thousands of other tags.  There is real art out there,some of the things graffiti artists come up with is amazing creative work, where it belongs is the other argument, but this particular work of art is tired and ordinary.
Bad *** it is not.@ForeCPA90: Lol, you got a degree in tags? What makes you think there is nothing original about it?I like the style and the use of the white, black, and pink. Got a problem with that? Go to art school. This is unique, and we're all better off for it. Thanks Zedeon. You rock. Free art. <3 it.

>> I'm also interpreting your statement as you don't want the criminal to pay for his crime.  But, that's socialist thinking - what better should I expect.
It's not like it's taking the United States to war with Iraq for false pretext. Free displays of art shouldn't be a crime.EvanCarroll: So, you'd be okay with this on the front of your house? But, then, if it was so wicked bad *** you'd already have it, right?DanStanton: Why do you assume he has a house? If you have nothing of value you tend to be OK with vandalizing somebody else's something of value.

>> It's not doing it at the expense of the Tax Payers. Who would vote for
government to come and paint over art? What kind of silly conservative
are you?EvanCarroll: Since it's obvious that you did not open the link that I provided previously, I'll help you out and cut & paste it here for your convenience.  Hope it helps.Houston treats graffiti vandalism as a
crime, not a prank. If you are caught defacing property, expect to
face legal consequences. There are also penalties for anyone who
contributes to the crime, whether that person is the parent of an
offender or a business owner.

STATE LAWS
Texas Penal Code §28.0 makes it a crime
to intentionally or knowingly make markings with aerosol paint,
markers or etching and engraving devices on tangible property without
consent of the owner.  Markings can include inscriptions, slogans,
drawings or paintings.  Penalties are assessed based on the amount of
loss suffered by the property owner and may range from fines of up to
$2,000 and/or confinement for up to 180 days, to fines of $10,000
and/or confinement for 5 to 99 years.SOCIAL CONSEQUENCE OF GRAFFITI
Over the past two decades, graffiti has
become a growing problem for many U.S. cities.  When discussing the
consequences of graffiti vandalism, social scientists and economic
advisors often refer to “the broken window” theory.  That theory draws
a connection between the occurrence of graffiti and the residents’
perception of a diminished quality of services.  Such perceptions have
numerous negative consequences on communities.
The unconscious connection between graffiti and more
serious crime causes property values, business growth and tourism to
decline.  Graffiti also attracts other forms of crime and street
delinquency to the area, slowly replacing residents’ sense of
neighborhood ownership and safety with fear, anxiety and frustration.
In recent years, graffiti has spread from urban areas to
rural and suburban communities.  Cities across the nation spend
thousands of dollars each year to clean up graffiti.  The social and
economic consequences of graffiti vandalism attest to the necessity of
abatement programs. And here is another bit of information I suggest you read -- I won't be spoon-feeding this one to you. City of Houston Visual Blight OrdinanceJust noticed that my whole cut & paste didn't take! I need top open
the laptop again to get it all so Evan Carroll can see the fines the
CoH puts on private business owners for the damages done by graffiti! TexasOma: Just wanted you to know, I didn't read any of that. Conservatives don't make sense. Someone comes and puts up art on a "private business" or the community's assets and you want to take it down at my expense?! Lol. I don't want to pay for that. You are all for such big government, it's sad.

Free art. <3 it.EvanCarroll: Why would I need to go to art school to have a subjective opinion?  It looks like a ton of other tags out there to me, I see some really cool graffiti art roll by my office window every day, some of it looks really original to me, some of it doesn't.  It's a subjective opinion, you like it while I am pretty much ambivalent about it. There is no right and wrong.  The only thing that is wrong is the implication that I need to go to art school if my opinion differs from yours.
