graffiti vs vandal squad New York old school

[@evolutionlancer7358]

i was raised in the wrong era. I'm currently 26, and i would take whats playing above any day of the week instead of what we have now. from music to social media to clothing its all fucked up now a days. i remember years back we would hang out on the stoops of the neighborhood. social media took over, you don't even see kids hanging out like that anymore. those days were the very last of the "good old days".

[@adrozemog]

I agree. Cities like this have more pressing issues that need to be dealt with than writing on walls. I mean, sometimes it's a bit more serious because of gang related shit that gets people killed for beef they weren't looking for. But for the most part, writing on walls doesn't deserve the same attention from authorities as gangbangers, drug dealers, prostitution, etc.

Graffiti is Art

[@miselonez]

Graffiti artists create jobs, if it wasn't for us thousands of jobs wouldn't exist. And lets talk about marketing, how do you think advertising started on the sides of trains and buses? By graffers doing fills and pieces, they looked at our work and said, hell, that is a GREAT idea, lets put Coke a cola and movie advertisements on the sides of these huge moving vehicles. Because of graffiti a ton of good things have come and gone, you just have to look at it from a different perspective.

[@davethewave5501]

It always bugs me how the law puts so much effort into stopping graffiti or anything that doesn’t hurt anybody. Go solve real crimes

[@blakemcnamara9105]

The thing is, if you allow "harmless" crimes to continue, it will make the real criminals think that they can get away with everything. Also graffiti in a neighbourhood creates an unconscious perception of danger, which drives people out of the neighbourhood only to leave the thugs and those too poor to leave; then the neighbourhood actually becomes dangerous. Those vandals didn't realise that they were actually contributing to the problems in their neighbourhoods by doing graffiti.

[@SomeRandomYoungster]

@@blakemcnamara9105 these were kids born into poverty because of white flight, insitutional racism, and american capitalism. all the shit u said is straight "law and order" language that created mass incarceration since the 70s aka modern slavery. read up on actual history

[@blakemcnamara9105]

@@SomeRandomYoungster I am well-aware of the institutional injustices that helped create American ghettoes in the '60s however things like graffiti add to problem. A lot of people don't realise that these things are fostered by by multiple factors and that the people who live in a neighbourhood can choose how they let things affect them. The people whom you say I sound like want people to do graffiti and other small crimes because it fulfills their intentions. The people play an important role in what happens in their community and decide if they let their oppressors win or not.

Have you seen Style Wars or any other documentaries? Those parents don't /like/ their kids doing it, but they don't stop them. It would be like preventing your kid from playing football, because it's about as dangerous.
