Vandals laugh at cafe owner as he confronts them over graffiti

[@SM-jb4vb]

David Shimamura and Nick Mizumoto aren't artist, and everyone should banned whatever art and shows they have. A real artist would have asked the owner if it would be alright to paint. Worst type of artist if it isn't yours or didn't asked for permission than just leave it alone.

[@martinvanburen4578]

someone should go tag their apartments, bikes, clothes, everything they own. the thing with graffiti people is they love to tag other people's properties but get mad when it is done to their property.

[@NaterBater]

Wait is that actually their real names? I hope someone shows them some justice

This shit is a dox fest. It’s a minor crime. The shed was covered with graffiti. You guys have an irrational hatred that you can’t justify.
