Not a doubt in my mind. It’s just that I didn’t see any connection between the bunnies/squiggly guy and the spray painter in the video (other than the fact that he was painting on a wall that the bunny painter had obviously hit already). You absolutely sure you got the right guy there?

Yeah, and doing it in the day seemed particularly ill advised… Although due to the guy’s demeanor and poor reaction time I wouldn’t rule out that he was on drugs and not making the best decisions at this point.

Graffiti art (I include random tags in this category) is one of the most powerful cultural means of expression that our backwards society has had the good fortune of being subjected to in the past 40 years. A wall is a wall is a wall is a work of art.

We have enough windows in this city that we should have more Neighborhood Watch organizations. But nobody needs a program to just be a responsible member of the community and to call it in. I don’t suppose hidden cameras in bathrooms are legal? ;)

The small business owners in our neighborhood have thanked me profusely for reporting this guy. The city will fine property owners and business owners if they don’t clean up graffiti on their property. Now that they have a suspect with photographic and video proof, they are able to actually compensate the property owners who had tags by this vandal. So the prosecution is very much worth the taxpayers dollars. This kid would just continue costing residents and business owners more and more money and time. I am not looking for the kid to be locked up or have any harm done to him – I really just want what everyone in this community wants – is for him to stop what he was doing. And he has stopped. It’s been over a month now and not a single mark from him – at least not in this neighborhood. Linking him to those other tags is super easy – see my comment above on this page to someone else who made that comment.

You see the rabbit with his signature swirls. And again at 0:54, the swirls with the cute little pacman head guy. Again at 1:14. The connection is easy to make.

Yeah, I contemplated yelling, but the part of me that was aware of the other damage he was doing in the neighborhood wanted him shut down for good. I don’t think one disgruntled resident saying “hey stop it” would change his larger pattern of behavior.

I was so confused by your comment. Took me a minute to catch the “self-conscious joke” bit too. I thought you were calling me self-conscious, and also that I am a joke! ha ha, then I figured it out. Yes, it’s a mock superhero title of course. I had to come up with SOMETHING to put this video out there!

He never knew which window the knock came from. But I was torn – I kind of wanted him to run when he heard the knock because I really didn’t want to call him in. But at the same time I saw what he had already pulled on a couple of nearby properties. It wasn’t until after he was arrested then I went around the hood and saw and photographed the extensive tagging. Then I knew I had done the right thing.

Thought it would be funny to play the role of undercover crime-fighting citizen :) Sorry it wasn’t up to your standards of cool, and I’m sorry you don’t think I’m using my time purposefully enough. I’ll try to do better by you from now on. You mean so much to me.
