Dis-Illusioned

In a city experiencing an ongoing explosion of neighborhood-destroying graffiti, “midnight guerrilla” Conal, despite his lofty pretensions, remains just another graffiti vandal.

Like any vandals, Conal and his self-righteous dilettante adorers see nothing wrong with defacing the property of others with his art without gaining permission or offering apology. Not even Michelangelo or Rembrandt displayed that brand of arrogance.

Spray-painting taggers and gang placadors , those other neighborhood-ravaging midnight guerrillas, display the same irresponsibility, but one might at least attribute that to impoverished social conditions.

I trust that the Gregory Ain house on the Westside that Conal recently bought is freely available to Conal paste-sloshers and other graffitists for the same kind of defacement that he has dished out to others. I’d hate to think Conal is a hypocrite too.
