There was a time when there was a certain code of conduct that taggers went by where they showed respect for such public works of art as murals and their code even kept them away from tagging such places as hospitals and churches. But, at least here in LA, there doesn’’t seem to be such a code anymore.
Why are these jerks tagging murals and other public works of art?
Is it because they are envious of real artists with real talent and this is how they show their obvious shortcomings?
Is it because they have small penises and somehow f**king with other people somehow makes them feel like real men (98% of taggers are male)?
Is it because they have so little self-esteem and self-respect that they think the only way they will ever leave their ‘‘mark’’ upon the world is by physically leaving their ‘‘mark’’ on somebody else’’s wall, just like dogs leave their ‘‘mark’’ when they hike their leg and pee on the same wall?
I have more respect for a stray dog than a tagger.

Power... That is all, for that brief moment they are in control of doing something they are not supposed to and that makes them feel powerful.

Defacing property is defacing property.They don't care if they hit a house a war vet spend his whole life working for, or a business that a foreigner worked his butt off to get, so why wouldn't they hit a mural or other public work of art?

Artsy-fartsy isn't a foul factor. It truthfully approach any one who's creative. It would not quite observe to you on the grounds that you cant draw or paint. It's no longer a foul factor even though, persons say that out of a envy kinda manner. I love to attract and paint, It's my ardour, my Friend Say's it to me at all times and he or she wants she had that skillability.

Becasue they have brains the size of a pea, and don't realise that everyone is NOT thinking "Oh how cool", instead we are all thinking "What a total ********" "What a loser" "No talent" etc.
I wish they would put their energy into something that actually MEANS something.

It's all about getting attention. They feel so small and insignificant in their lives. They just want to be recognized and they don't care how. We should all for sorry for their sense of nothingness.
