Vigilante Vigilante: The Battle for Expression
Today, I saw some wheatpaste graffiti advertisements for something called "Vigilante Vigilante: The Battle for Expression" in the mission district in San Francisco.
I'm not 100% clear what their point is. Apparently, some people are going around and spraypainting over the graffiti which mars the city, and they have a problem with this for whatever reason. Sort of odd, to me, when you see how bad the mission really looks. I mean, it's basically a war zone with police standing around in broad daylight with bright yellow tasers, ready to tase anyone that moves. Countless homeless, drug addicts, losers just loafing around in the middle of the day. Everything that isn't nailed down is spray painted or broken. Trash in the streets. Metal grates over every window. People defecating on the sidewalks. Just disgusting, really. So, I'm sort of surprised that these people have a problem with vigilantes that want to stop the random tagging. But to each his own, I guess.
