SPARE US THE "OH HE'S A KID, HE'LL OUTGROW IT" GARBAGE!! Re: 'Graffiti Teen' Hit By Subway

Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Tue Feb 16 22:03:07 2010, in response to 'Graffiti Teen' Hit By Subway, posted by Newkirk Images on Mon Feb 15 07:18:50 2010.

I have went thru a few posts here, and see that people here have said that how he is "just a kid, he will outgrow it".

Did "SMITH, SANE" outgrow it??? Did "DARKS" outgrow it??? Did "BONZI" outgrow it??? These people have been doing it since they were kids, and now they are grown ups still doing it. What about "TRACY 168", who is damn near 50 years old and STILL doing it!! (His disgraceful "work" is seen along the MNR right of way in the Bronx, especially at Tulnoy Lumber who has his tag scrawled on the sides!!) Even clothign designer Marc Ecko admitted to doing it when he was a kid and even supports graffiti still to this day. "LADY PINK" didn't outgrow it, and she is like in her late 40s.

Being 16 years old means you have the capacity to know right from wrong, to understand danger, and know enough not to commit wrong and to keep yourself out of trouble and out of danger!! Much like the teenager who got himself run down on the LIRR Main Line in Forest Hills, he was of age to know right from wrong and to understand dangers and to understand legality and illegality!! FUCK THEM ALL!!! They played with fire once too often and they got burned!! This 16 year old idiot could have learned from the Queens kid's example but he didn't, and now every time he looks at his missing leg, puts on and has to adjust his prosthetic, he can look at the "tag" the train gave him, and now he has to live with it for the rest of his life!! I feel no pity for a person who understands right from wrong, knew vandalism is illegal, and YES FOLKS, TO THOSE HERE WHO SEEM TO SUPPORT GRAFFITI, GRAFFITI IS A CRIME, GRAFFITI IS VANDALISM!! IT IS NOT ART!!

If you want art, LEGALLY paint a mural in your community. LEGALLY pursue art thru school and college study and make money from it, not risk having your life ended, or being maimed for the rest of your life. I am sorry, but I feel absolutely no pity for these people who do these stupid things, and all for what??? Fame??? Notoriety??? Street value??? Props from your homies??? BULLSHIT!!! He got what he deserved, and the only person who I feel sorry for is the motorman who had to go thru it, and how he will have to go thru investigations and all this bullshit!! And what sucks is that this dumbass' family will sue, and MTA will have to pay up!!! Hasn't anyone heard how part of MTA's money problems comes from legal payouts, especially in something like this.

This dude committed a crime, fucked with the bull one time too many and the bull gave him the horns!!! FUCK HIM!! Hopefully someway, somehow others could learn from it!! Sadly, they won't and more incidents like this will continue to happen.

Call me cold, call foul, call me what you wish, but I speak my mind!! Graffiti is NOT art!! Graffiti IS A CRIME!!

And for the record, not only should he have to suffer with his injuries, but I hope charges are pressed against him too!!

My only wish is that this place was like Singapore when a little punk gets caught for vandalism!! Michael Faye is probably still feelings the effects of his stupidity to this day!!
