We have a lot of hate and anger for tagging over here bro, so much that a kid was killed by some old white guy for tagging on his fence, and they guy that murdered the 15 year old kid, didnt get one charge. They basically said 'he deserved to die'. I mean, a 60 year old man, stabbed and killed a kid for spraying paint on a fence, and he walked away with no conviction.
Tagging will never be understood by those who arent a part of it, but thats what its all about, its about them 3am roof tops, its about them mid day train track missions, its about fucking society off so much they spend millions of dollers tryna clean up what they can never stop.
To me taggings a reflection of society, they wanna clean up an Avenue and get rid of all the tagging, so there community 'looks clean' but on that same road 'hidden' away in houses are wifes being beaten, kids going hungry, meth labs, crack heads, rapes, murders, suicides, prostitution. But as long as the road looks good with no tagging, they dont have to face the reality and clean up the true problems.
