Can someone tell me why?

[spell_check]

Adelaide Now has a "gallery" as a tribute to a talented mind? I'm sorry, but this was just another vandal who took pride in defacing public (and probably also did private) property and infrastructure?

I understand the murals that are designated for them, but this bridge was not one. So why the need to glorify a juvenile criminal just because he "died doing what he loved"?

I've got to admit I agree ... yes a tragic event but he was commiting a crime at the time, one that pisses a lot of people off and costs a bit of coin to fix up.

His mates are bigger idiots than him to go back and tag the death site.

Sadly that's what the media does. They love nothing more than putting the worst up on pedestals...alcoholics, druggies, domestic abusers, racists, vandals. That's what's offered to kids as role models now and it kinda makes me glad I'll never have any.

And of course, the Facebook tribute where like minded individuals pay their respects to "one of them"

Yeah JAS, you can say that again. Agree with you for sure.

If we all spoke our mind, this thread would be shut down.

A waste of paint.

can someone tell me if police rocked up at all last night whilst there was vandalism going on???? and if not, why not?

[dedja]

and why people tagging the bridge in front of TV cameras weren't reported ...

Tagging reminds me of a dog cocking it's leg or a tom cat spraying to mark their territory, either way it stinks!!

Show some compassion. graffiti is a form of self expfession as other kinds of mainstream art are.

Sorry can't agree. If it's art then they can put it on their own houses or buy/rent a wall to put it on otherwise it's nothing more than vandalism and defacing of other peoples property.

Ummm, no ... it's a crime.

Self express your own property.

Years of reading obituaries and hearing eulogies has led me to one solid conclusion: death brings out the best in people.

[Johno6]

no matter how much of a arsehole wanker idiot loser someone is... as soon as they die they were the best thing ever.

FACT!!

BWHAHAHA. You're taking the piss. Gotta be. The dude paid a heavy price but face it, he ****** up royally. Life is short so don't go wasting it on shit that can make it a whole lot shorter. Social Darwinism at its best my friend.

Hope the Onkaparinga Council is down there now covering up all the Tags as we speak/type

There's graffiti and then there's street art. Personally I love stencil art.

In a city landscape perverted by corporate advertising, street art is on one side of the rope in the perpetual tug-o-war.

Oh so you mean his "art work" will increase in value now he is dead?
