What's more concerning and crazy is the fact that, that building which costs so much money to build is sitting there empty for YEARS! while you have so many people starving and dying on the streets of LA. That's more criminalizing than a bunch of people tagging a building.

Keep in mind graffiti is not art, it just a way for people to feel entitled to commit crime on other people’s properties. Real artists use their own canvas to display their true talent thru the RIGHT way not the evil way by inflicting pain of cost/money to the owner’s properties.
