Call me a curmudgeon but I don't find that impressive at all. If they flew up there and magically did it then maybe but they just broke in and spray painted each floor of a vacant building. Which will cost a small fortune to someone to rectify. I don't find vandalism of any kind impressive. | |||

Looks like a lot of it is on the balconies. If they can catch those who did it, the punishment ought to include a safety course, including harnesses and tie-offs and them making them scrape (or brush or whatever) every bit of it off. That would amount to a couple hundred hours of community service each and might make them think before they try it again. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

I'm with pedropcola. It's an eyesore plain and simple. Much better, although again I'm not a fan of spray paint "artists," is something like Art Alley in Rapid City, where these folks can decorate having obtained a permit.

The only thing that would impress me is if the trash who did this all were found dead by the end of today. Now that would impress me. I don't want to live in a world where this kind of shit is acceptable. Do you really want to walk down streets and see graffiti all over buildings? Really?

Graffiti is vandalism, plain and simple. It is not art unless you have permission from the property owner. It pisses me off. You never, ever mess with someone else's property. My dad would kick our asses for cutting across a neighbor’s yard on foot. | |||

vandalism done by creatons notwithstanding; this was not a street-level fence/building and not a sign which hangs from a bridge, they hit a 26-story building and not just one floor, pretty much all of them. if they fell in progress, not great loss to society except for the psyche of those find an need to deal with the aftermath. And nothing on my side to say they should not be punished for vandalism of an abandoned building, The ballz it took to do this and the time, coupled with not getting caught...yet. To me, this is akin to an assassin taking a shot from 1,700 yards away and hitting the mark. Impressive act but still reprehensible. Life moves pretty fast.

Used to be you could see a train roll through town NOT completely covered with that shit. I'd surely like to go back to those days. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

The news to me is a 25 story skyscraper being dormant for several years. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Nothin says GHETTO better than this shit. Some teen tagged the office building behind me. The landlord was slow at removal. When more shit showed up he cleaned it off. Then pseudo gang signs showed up on my building. I took care of it immediately and no recurrence. | |||

You're assuming they climbed from balcony to balcony? The building's not in use, then there's no reason they couldn't use the stairs. No?? | |||

I don't mean to pile on, but count me unimpressed as well. I clicked on the link expecting to see some kind of guerrilla art, not the same crap I see plastered on the side of every rail car or abandoned building. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||
