That's what made my eyes popped out. I don't understand why the couple didn't just claim they were tagging the streets for their gang. Fill the pothole in, then spray paint some shit over it.
"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." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

architectPerhaps the Compton City Council should just pass a law banning potholes?

I saw a news article a few years ago about some city where a guy was going around and spray painting a giant penis around all the potholes he found. That got attention pretty quick, LMAO!

Michigan says hold my beer for 'normal' roads.
First two photos make me think of Eight Mile Road between Northville and Farmington. Only thing missing is the failing railroad overpass deck over the CSX tracks.

BeancookerSee, that’s the problem with California. The people fix an issue and the city threatens to fine them. Ridiculous.

John SteedThey should organize a gang of shoplifters and steal the asphalt then accidentally spill it on the potholes as they flee. As long as they don't steal too much at any one store, no prosecution.
