Vandalism 101
Ok Patchland & the World...
Question of the Day? Why do People think it’s ok to Vandalize Others? I’m only asking because, I was Vandalized again last night & it’s been an ongoing issue so I ask... People of Dormont & the World..Grow Up, Act Like Adults & Stop Touching things that aren’t Yours. Didn’t your Mother ever Teach You any Manners?
It seem like Everyone needs a little refresher on What Vandalism is. So from the WWW., here is a brief break down. Read very carefully. One wouldn’t want to end up in Jail because of this little word...
Vandalism is: a ruthless destruction or spoiling of anything beautiful or enerable & defacement directed towards any property without permission of the owner. Actions of this kind can be described as anger or envy.
Van·dal·ism <a noun
1. Deliberately mischievous or malicious destruction or damage of property: vandalism of public buildings.
2. The conduct or spirit characteristic of the Vandals.
3. Willful or ignorant destruction of artistic or literary treasures.
4. A vandalic act.
Criminal Mischief & Vandalism may seem like petty charges, but they can ultimately cause serious issues in your life. I know that people make mistakes. Chances are you did something you now regret. Many property damage charges result from a lost temper or a youthful mistake. But….

IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!

I don't know about other types of vandalism, but the graffiti I see everywhere makes me sick. It just amazes me that they can get away with it. I mean they are walking around with spray cans. And when do they do it? I walk around at night a lot and have never come across anyone doing it.
The thing that sucks is that they are ruining thier own neighborhood! Don't they have any pride? Are there really that many gand-bangers running around? When you go through an area with that kind of stuff, you can't help but think of it as a slum.
If these kids had to not only replace the items they defaced, but manufacture them as well, they might think twice.

I'm surprised the authorities didn't want to take a picture of a penis.
