How does Portland Abate Graffiti?

By tazing and beating the shit out of an innocent guy who had nothing to do with graffiti.

this article focuses on a poor random guy that had the unfortunate luck of being misjudged by the cops for a graffiti writer; and got his face creamed into a frappuccino. But nobody once questions the opinion of a dear humble graffiti artist who if he were identified correctly would have been doing the electric boogaloo. There is much focus on the innocent party- but is this Smackdown justifiable if he committed a petty crime? This instance is only a pity because an innocent man received some outlaw justice from our paid in-law police force- but why does a non violent graffito practitioner deserve an ass whipping of a lifetime from the man in a black costume?

In the end we all lose; OUR $250,000 in tax money goes to pay for our mistakes of our own public servant.

Breakin' Faces

Well I never!

It would appear Mrs Remingon has some complaints about the graffiti on one of the post boxes in the Island of Palm Beach. lmao without me even lifting a finger, somebody tells off this old bag in a way shes never had before in her life to virtually "shove it". I wish i could of seen her face when she read this. Ladies and gentlemen.... THE INTERNET:

Why can’t town remove graffiti from postal boxes?

I live at Villa Las Aldea. My comment I’d like for you to publish below: Is the Town of Palm Beach financially too short that we may need a federal grant to hire a graffiti removal agency?

For over three months, purple graffiti has relished in town like a weed on blue U.S. Post boxes. The box on the corner of Royal Palm Way/Cocoanut Row is home to lively four-month-old purple graffiti.

This eyesore does not belong on federal government property ... or near my home.

I have an open question for our elected town officials: Why is graffiti on the island’s blue U.S. Post boxes and moreover, when will the graffiti be removed?

The Responses:

If it bothers you so much - buy for 4.99 a spray can and paint over it. Stop whining and take care of it yourself.

Carl, people like you don't live on the island, why you think your opinion matters is beyond reason. A palm beacher would never and I quote you "take a can of spray paint" to cover it up. Criminal minded animals like yourself are the reason we have so many problems in society.

Robyn,
You sound like a bitter, drunk, spoiled, self entitled heiress complaining. Stop pointing fingers and look at your own contribution to this. Graffiti often has a reputation as part of a subculture that rebels against authority, although the considerations of the practitioners often diverge and can relate to a wide range of attitudes. So some expressive passionate citizens are a bit rebellious and have contentious relationships with authority, Try understanding and be compassionate.
Lexington

I agree with both Karl and Lexington; it is a simple problem and solution. If you expect the government to nanny you hand and foot for your every petty need; then you will be complaining the rest of your life. There are many other serious tragedies in line they have to deal with every day first; such as rogue gum spitting, dog waste removal and taking cats out of trees.
