Graffiti Taggers

[Chris142]

Tagging has been getting worse now that the police are helpless and nobody gets prosecuted.

They got the emergency helicopter Saturday night.

Scum...

Very uncool.

My friend in Germany's son was a prolific tagger until he got caught. The court made him clean it at his expense and for 6 months he had to report to the local prison at 5pm on Friday and stay til Monday 6am so he could keep working and support his wife and kids. That cured him.

At least it looks like they knew what they were doing.

the police are helpless

why is that?

Vandalism. I just don't get it. Makes me sick.

Why no security for that helicopter ?

Luckily they didn’t light a match and set it on fire.

I see this on trains a lot, since there are tracks that run parallel to my route to work. What does any of it even mean? Most of it looks like unintelligible drivel. I will admit though, I have seen some funny ones. There are a few good artists in the bunch. But tagging a med flight chopper is a horrible idea.

Unionized government employed,,,

That should be reported to the FAA. Can that helicopter be considered flightworthy after being vandalized in such a fashion?

Right, so it would seem, that tagging on the helo, is in fact an intended function.

I am with @Dave Hess I would take tagging as opposed to real vandalism or damage.

It will continue until there is restitution from the criminals. Make them work to pay the cost of repairs. I don't see that happening however in our future.

I used to take care of 30-40 facilities.

The way to combat these people is to paint over/remove the graffiti as soon as possible.
I would drop almost any other job to cover it....same day if possible.

The thrill for them is their friends seeing it... I prevented that and all they had was wasted effort.
They would move on to the next building.

Stop using the word .... tagging.
Call it what it really is .... graffiti.

Despicable...

Someone had sent this to me long ago (sanitized for BITOG).

I’ve seen some absolute works of art on train cars, those guys go out of their way to avoid markings or take it a step further and I’ve seen them “highlight” the markings with a brightly colored border.

And then you get garbage like this… I hope they find who vandalized that helicopter and they have to pay to fix it. $$$$$

Its right next to a major road. The pic was taken from the road. One would think someone saw it happening.

That's just disrespectful...but I've seen some cool ones on abandoned buildings. Taking the metra west out of Union Station in Chicago, there's one with Bender from Futurama saying "winter is coming"

Sorry, not sorry. Hard labor for graffiti vandals.

Not without a thorough inspection.
