Graffiti Is a Crime
Re “Tag This One Tough Battle for Chief Bratton,” April 14: People commit crimes when they vandalize property. [Convicted vandal] Toomer is wrong when he claims that graffiti is used to gain respect.
Graffiti shows disrespect for all people, including those who commit the crime. Graffiti lowers property values and induces more criminal activity.
Toomer and his fellow criminals deserve to spend a long time in jail for the harm that they commit.
