Who are the idiots that spray painted the corner of South Park and Spring Garden? You idiots, “fuck the police.” There are kids everywhere in that area, not to mention some pro-social Haligonians who are at very least indifferent to the popo.
I was walking to the gym today and I noticed at least 3 of your lame-ass vandal spots. On a SG phone store, on a monument (PS: I’m sure the pigeons or the old people who feed them don’t wanna stare at that all afternoon), and on a provincial government building.
How about you come out of the shadows and document your complaints, whatever they are, if they’re valid it’s a far more legitimate approach… and you won’t be ruining the city for the rest of us.
Why are you running around in the dark with your can of spray paint? When you’re eventually caught and brought in, you’ll be crying like a baby on the phone with your mom, with no excuses for why you did it.
“Class war” was spray painted all over the monument downtown… Class war? You’re running around in the dark with a can of spray paint. How is that a class war? You belong to a tiny and lazy sub-culture of idiocy, is that what you mean? Get a job. Try to make friends. And go get laid. There’s a lot of fun to be had in this city and a lot of people here willing to support you if you need help and you’re not tearing apart our city with your stupidity.
Anyways, if you get caught I’m not gonna stop any other criminals from spray painting piss all over your face. —Guy with a badge.

I saw a few messages like that around the city too. On Brunswick someone spray-painted “no more condos”. It was in realllly really neat writing haha. And then a little farther down, I saw the same neat writing saying “fuck the police”. I don’t really understand why people say that…is it cool or something? Usually they hate the police because they stop them from doing some sort of illegal activity and they think there’s something wrong with that? And “no more condos”? If condos going up in your neighborhood causes you to not be able to afford rent anymore or something (I’m assuming that’s what it’s about), get up off your ass and get better education so you can get a better job. Spray painting these things around the city doesn’t help your cause at all.
I agree, but in terms of getting noticed – and I hate to say it, but ‘documenting your complaints’ is far more unlikely to cause some kind of dialogue in the community than vandalism, illegal as that may be.
That would be a “Citizenship in the Community” badge would it?
I truly doubt a cop (which is implied) would come on here and say:
“…I’m not gonna stop any other criminals from spray painting piss all over your face.”
i think it may be time for the super friends to saddle up
Fuck The Police is so 1991. I don’t understand it either, I saw “fuck low wages” on the side of Scotia Square and I immediately thought: “Hey, I like that. It makes a good point.” The I saw the “Fuck the Police and I immediately thought: “Now I see it, it’s all about being little anarchists.”
Ha ha. I said that F.T.P is so L.A 1995.
All these little shit bags would be calling the cops when they’re in trouble.
I liked the ‘Fuck Capitalism’ yelling last weekend. From kids, with iPhones.
Sloganeering from spoiled little shits who don’t have the balls to confront an actual cop, or to speak without the anonymity this kind of asshole behaviour.
Fuck those guys.
i wish someone would invent a wall or surface that sprays back skunk piss.
” ‘Class war’ was spray painted all over the monument downtown”
Please tell me these little pismires didn’t desecrate our Cenotaph.
LS, I’d settle if we could have the ones in ‘demolition man’…
if they touch the scottish poet…i will see only red
Some hae beliefs, but cannae speak.
And some could speak but want it.
But them wi’ spray-paint and nay manners
Weel get their arses kickit.
aah lovely prose for a monday morn…merci tsar ivan
Call it an early B-day present >: )
“Shadow Warriors” ha reminds me of characters like Batman, Spiderman, even Superman. Ya “FUCK THE POLICE” is kinda lame, but thinking of characters, If they got creative and painted porky the pig dresses in uniform getting fucked by a fox dressed in a Robin Hood getup, that would be kind of funny, well maybe not to the guys sitting in the donut shop, well… some might smirk.
Ugh. I saw all the spray-painting downtown. I thought it was stupid, and it’s not art. If so, then all I have to do is take a can of spray paint, find a random wall, and just start putting words up that have no meaning.
FTP is more 1988.
Little tinpot rebels. Grow the fuck up.
My favorite piece of graffiti is in the parking lot beside the new NS Power building. It says “I love my grandma”. No “fuck the police” or “class war”…no bullshit juvenile pseudo-anarchist agenda. Nope, someone just loves their grandma. So stop being a spoiled dipshit little anarchist/socialist/marxist spraypainting up the city and give your grandma a call. Fuck…kids today…
Haha, “I love my Grandma”! That reminds me of a story my BF told me. Years ago, he and his friends spray painted positive graffiti on a certain building. Stuff like “stay in school”, “don’t do drugs” and “respect your elders”. As it should be <3
well, according to that other rag in town there was an arrest: http://thechronicleherald.ca/Metro/9016273…
Again, restorative justice is the answer. Make little Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Leibknecht
clean it all off – with their tongues and all the bleach they can stomach. Then send them up to Saint John, to lift headstones in that vandalized cemetary.
i have several sgian dudhs that might prove useful…however they are traditionally used for decoration only
I’d want nothing less than a claymore in this situation Pain Lass
