The Santa Rosa Police Department arrested a graffiti tagger on suspicion of more than 400 counts of vandalism in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County and elsewhere in the Bay Area. GOOD JOB!

In addition to being Graffiti Fighter members of Zero Graffiti Int'l since the early days we have held training events  in their fine city.

In this case since they are doing it with permission I guess you wouldn't consider it vandalism. The problem is these people don't know the difference and more importantly don't care if it is done with permission or not.

I should probably start by saying these are my own personal opinions and not necessarily those of everyone involved with Zero Graffiti International. Graffiti without permission is vandalism plain and simple. This is why graffiti writers, street artists or whatever inflated term of grandiosity they choose to use do what they do at night, wearing dark clothes and more often than not hooded sweatshirts. One word accurately describes people that frequently do graffiti, "Narcissistic". Here is a brief definition, "An inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others."


Okay, I will get off my soap box. People performing illegal activities should anticipate bad things can happen to them. While it is very sad that a graffiti writer died it was his own doing, not that of the police. QUIT blaming the police for things that happen to people performing illegal activities.

I would appreciate your feedback.

It took months of detective work to catch a prolific spray-painting vandal from Petaluma who is suspected of tagging cities all across the West Coast. Good Job!!!
