Graf Lawsuit

Grant Taylor, a dope skater shown here on the cover of Thrasher, and a bunch of other dudes have been sued by a building owner for $1 million in connection with alleged property damage. A building owner in Georgia contends that Taylor (supposedly GNAR) and others have continuously written on his home/work space over the past few years. I don't know anything about this case (it might all be bs), but I have mixed emotions about painting where people live. My interest in graffiti is tempered by my interest in keeping my own home clean. To me, this is a little different than hitting a Clear Channel billboard or a mailbox. I know a number of graf heads read this blog and I'd like to hear what you have to say about this.

The building I live in gets repeatedly hit by the world's worst graf writers. All of their names are stupid and all of the tags look like someone signing a postcard. I have to wonder if these guys have ever really seen graffiti or maybe just heard about it and decided to try it to be cool. The city sends out a crew to paint over it (always in a color that doesn't match the wall) and then I have to pay to fix it. No props to any of those losers.

Punk Jumps Up To Get Beat Down (By Skaters)

Idiot gangbanger pulls a pistol on a kid trying to get his ollie on and gets tore the fuck up. Between the sideways gat gangsta grip and starting potentially deadly beef with some kids trying to skate, this clown deserved to get slapped with a Powell Ripper.

ANOTHER REASON TO CONTINUE HATING POLICE
