Graffiti: Vandals’ Blight, Not Art
You’ve done it again! You’ve tagged graffiti vandals as “graffiti artists” (“Tackling the ‘Taggers,’ ” Dec. 18). The Times consistently gives these people the publicity (and validation) they crave by making their “artistic efforts” the stuff of news stories.
Whether they’re gang members marking their turf or taggers publicizing themselves, they create a blight on the environment.
Reading about themselves in the paper must be gratifying, don’t you think?
