If these idiots even knew the fucking history of the oh so hip neighborhood they’re now living in, they would know that this urban space IS ALREADY OCCUPIED. In the 1970s Latino artists and activists took over a billboard with tobacco and alcohol ads because they felt it was harmful to the community. The took over the space and used it to create art. Galeria de la Raza has been “occupying” longer than these twerps have been withdrawing from their daddy’s trust fund.

At least Sangroncito got the requisite walking-in-front-of-mural shot, and a good one too:

I love these kind of statements – one’s that are so OBVIOUSLY incorrect but are made in a “hey, who can judge, you just never know” manner.

No, this has nothing to do with someone being unclear on a very obvious rule of thumb, it has everything to do with some little bitch who thinks their occupussy tag is important and must not be concealed.

If the rule is unspoken, then not everyone is going to know there is a rule in the first place. Maybe they see a painting that is obviously graffiti, and think “oh, I guess its cool to paint here!” and then paint there.

And then, of course, are the people who just don’t give a f**k about rules, unspoken, implied or stated.

Everything is temporary, but the unspoken rule is, unless you are putting up a work of equal or greater value, don’t paint over other pieces or murals. Of course, this is subjective, but when someone puts a scrawl over a mural it is safe to assume that they are not following any rules regarding relative merit of street art and are just being a douchebag.

Interesting juxtaposition of concepts. I question what “getting a job” has to do with concepts of right and wrong and what vandalism has to do with morals. It is an oversimplification to state that vandalism is wrong from a moral perspective; it is wrong almost solely derived from law and concepts of property rights. You are showing a strong bias both from your concepts of morality and your assumptions that inclusive statements of unemployment can be applied to the Occupy movement as a whole. Furthermore, in my humble perspective, your moral priorities are a bit out of whack. Vandalism seems like an almost insignificant breach of societal morals in comparison to setting up an economic system designed to fail a growing number of the population for the direct benefit of privileged few. Of course, that is just my perspective, and your mileage my vary.

For all of you who love and support “urban graffiti” and try to call it art: guess what? you got it.

hey. a little spray paint can’t hurt.
