When i say i would expect a 14 year old to do it i did mean on the side of trains etc etc... and i still think doing it on the sides of trains etc at that age you must be the dirt of society... And we pay for it! I may aswell go around breaking street lamps etc...
As for the pictures posted indeed it is very good work and they are doing nothing wrong so i can appreciate and admire the work.

Indeed. They did'nt have to run, they could have just turned themselves in 
Same as that Jean De-Menez character [/controversy]

In London on the tube. They were tagging a train when security spotted them and they ran away..... into the path of a train! 
Was just on the news.
not exactly funny though is it?
No sir, it isnt. Maybe the smilie was incorrect. BUT the irony made me chuckle.

to all the peolpe on this thread who think its funny i tend to disagree...
ok in some forms graf is a pain in the arse tbh for eg on public places such as private walls and local parks.it can make a place look like real shit.
then you can see some on the train lines,skate parks that are art and are creations. where i live its everywhere on shop front, bins and vans.there is no getting away from it !but i do no a graffer aka moet and his pieces do not effect any one and he even gets paid to do it for companys
you have to be a little more open minded and think, who likes hearing feckin load zorsts and people spinning up there corsa's and saxo's ? well the dont laugh and mock when a motorist is killed ah so dont mock graffers for what they do

Defacing somebodys property without them asking is wrong no matter whether you think the tit is a good artist or not.
Maybe not punishable by death but how can people justify destroying other peoples property like that

I think people should chill out.
Fair enough they were "tagging" but at the end of the day, two lives were lost.
I feel this is not a thread for banter.

i like modding my car yes... is that illegal? is my colour banned in this country or something? these twits spray on shops, trains and other property which does not belong to them and it comes out of our pockets for it to be cleaned up by councils etc...
and yes the 2 that were killed were vandalising railway property.
so no i will give the london trip a miss

Come on!! There is no way that is proportionate. Graffiti artists are either annoying or brilliant depending on your point of view but I fail to see how anyone can say they deserved to die because of this. Yes graffiti is annoying and it uses a lot of resources to attempt to deal with, However if I got into a footchase with a couple of "taggers" and they ran onto a train track it's just not worth it anymore. Not criticising the transport Police though because that's where they work and they have to make that choice every day

they did not deserve to die for doing it but they put their selves in that position.if it was your own land or property or you had permission fair enough but they didnt.as said we have to pay to clean up the places that they have sprayed and its not fair on us we dont like it why should we pay for them to have a buzz.the point is they shouldnt have been thereits no ones fault but their own they knew the risks and they payed for it maybe others wil think twice now.
