King County taggers face court as prosecutors push for $100K restitution over jail time

[@titonathdith1522]

Have them paint over the graffiti as punishment and then clean up the garbage as payment for their crime.

[@seandonahue8464]

Doesn’t want their faces plastered all over but the idiots plaster their bile all over for us to see. If only the idiots thought about that. They seem to have so much free time why don’t get assigned an area to clean up, do it over months, if not done do some time.

[@mikDubb]

Graffiti is stupid! Especially when it violates someone elses property. If you want to spray something, why not graffiti your own house. I guess your parents would be upset you decided to graffiti their home.

[@georgecuster527]

It’s called graffiti not art .

[@lablaine1981]

Like an animal marking their territory...get your own property,make your ??? Then

[@nyancatnatalie]

They're never gonna pay restitution 😂😂 How about some jail time? They won't learn until then.

[@UbePapi]

Jail time wont stop them

[@Susan-c9w]

They should be required to clean up their mess.

[@erinbyrnes5921]

The defacing traffic signs with graffiti is the worst part of this trend. It's dangerous and not artistic at all.

[@lchaney]

It's never about locking up criminals, it's always about $$$

[@genripper-b8q]

so incarcerate at great public expense and double down on the taxpayer for the removal? always bitching and moaning sort

[@manofacertainrage856]

Money is a huge motivator if they won't be locked up for long.

[@Lgarrett9215]

Graffiti is worse here than the east coast 😢

[@notanindianscammer7594]

Yeah the East Coast ain't got nothing on the west!

[@Dvarden]

Wish they acted like this about drugs, crime, and violence…

[@MegaTriumph1]

I'm feed up also everything is tagged. Time for jail time and restitution.

[@BriantheMan.-yw2lt]

Jail and fines. 👍👍

[@Hiphopborn85]

Graffiti is a hip hop tradition. Supposed to be just for graffiti artists not gangs, dealers, white rich frat kids that think they're gangsters

[@youtubecensors5419]

In my Seattle neighborhood, whenever a "graffiti artist" vandalized a wall or vacant building I'd go deface it so you couldn't identify the name anymore. They rarely bothered wasting their time doing it again.

[@genripper-b8q]

why do you also have a headset on for your profile pic?

[@manojchowdhary4208]

Oh God - now Seattle is prosecuting non-violent criminals instead of sympathising with them? 😢😢

[@Dissed-Herbed]

Did I wake up in ‘bizarro world’ this morning?! I can hardly believe it. The city of Seattle is actually enforcing the law, and making these lowlife vandals pay restitution?! Wow. Just wow. Now I’ve seen it all.

[@Ratryggva1090]

We're supposed to be protecting society from these people, not lining pockets for the court system.

[@joshuaphillips755]

You poor thing, show us where the paint hurt your sad ass

[@terrydawley3402]

I am 56 years old have lived in the Seattle are for all my life are they used to be so beautiful now it's full of garbage and tagging all over the place I hope they increase the laws to stop it. 💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@lonebikeroftheapocalypse9527]

DemocRATS ruined Seattle.

[@Codash]

It is a BIG crime.

[@IvoryTowerInsights]

Shame Them!

[@derekball62]

Quick ban all spray can paints

[@georgiepnw]

Tag it up for all I care, Seattle’s a dumpster fire and this is just icing on the cake🎉

[@kirknelson407]

It’s like someone spraypainted guilty all over their faces.

[@MrMegatron85]

Well if thats $100k in damage, ill fix it for $100k 😁

[@jcpalmer6051]

Ya but the Libs leading the parade for years in Seattle say the taggers are just expressing themselves! Though on others property! I said this 30 yrs ago n the Lib officials paid no attention! Likewise with the "Needle exchange program"! That worked well!

[@lonebikeroftheapocalypse9527]

Be honest. It's the democRATS fault.

[@Whoddathunk]

There are red lights I’d like to run, especially when theirs no one around. But like the gentleman said, it’s against the law.

[@jodirook71]

its not even on the same planet as ART, it makes the world look like an old notbook with crappy doodles.

[@jasonholt1776]

Every time I drive into King County by necessity, my wallet catches on fire.

[@PlymouthCop]

0:55 I wouldn't want that guy anywhere close to my case, very unprofessional.

[@intheshell35ify]

Whose making Chump pay for his crimes?!? What's that?? Then pound salt.

[@1conservativegrl]

No punishing. Liberals “hug a thug” let them go free.

[@lonebikeroftheapocalypse9527]

Restitution that will never get paid.

[@charlesscott1849]

How about jail time, fine, and like Singapore flogging.

[@MrDoctor3087]

They should raise the minimum wage to adjust to inflation, that will fix everything!

[@jamesfarnan7456]

We're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it We're not gonna take it anymore We've got the right to choose, and There ain't no way we'll lose it This is our life, this is our song We'll fight the powers that be, just Don't pick on our destiny, 'cause You don't know us, you don't belong We're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it We're not gonna take it anymore Oh, you're so condescending

[@notanindianscammer7594]

Free WESH! MSP

[@wanton1234]

🕺💃

[@oscarcoreocontreras4127]

Is the right of the people 2 see this. Not enough done

[@autiebell1357]

Like ANY of them will pay.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@EvanToutz]

How about this, when whoever is found guilty if it’s these people or people found in the next month or two once they’re found guilty show all of their faces make an example of them after they’ve been found guilty
