True?

True?, by fingerz on Oct 20, 2014 9:01:07 GMT 1, London, England โ The elusive graffiti artist, political activist, film director, painter and long time fugitive that for years has gone by the pseudonymous name of Banksy, was arrested early this morning by Londonโs Metropolitan Police. After hours of questioning and a raid of his London art studio, his true name and identity have finally been revealed. The City of London Police say Banksyโs real name is Paul Horner, a 35-year old male born in Liverpool, England. The BBC has confirmed this information with Bankyโs PR agent Jo Brooks along with Pest Control, a website that acts as a handling service on behalf of the artist. London Police Chief Lyndon Edwards held a press conference to answer questions about Banksy and how Horner was finally apprehended after all these years on the run. โWe had a 24-hour Anti-Graffiti Task Force monitoring different groups where Banksy was known to frequent. We received word that around 2am a group of individuals left a flat speculated to be one of Bankyโs art studios. This group was followed by agents and once vandalism had occurred, we then arrested the group, 5 men total. These individuals all had ID on them except for one, and that is the one we believed to be Banksy,โ Edwards said. โWe then raided the studio where this group was last seen leaving from. Inside we found thousands of dollars of counterfeit money along with future projects of vandalism. We also found a passport and ID of a Paul Horner who matched the description of the man that we are currently holding.โ Edwards continued, โHorner is currently being held without bail on charges of vandalism, conspiracy, racketeering and counterfeiting. We are also holding the other four individuals whose names we are not releasing at this time.โ Horner was arrested by London Police in Watford, a town and borough in Hertfordshire, England, about 17 miles northwest of central London.
The graffiti artist that goes by the name Space Invader told reporters he does not agree with the arrest or outing of Banksyโs identity. โHeโs just doing art, spreading joy and making political statements the best way he knows how. That is what he was doing and I hope that is what heโll continue to do,โ Invader said. โFor the London Police to setup some 24-hour task force just to catch Banksy is ridiculous. I hope we hear plenty of noise from the good tax-paying citizens of London about this.โ After todayโs arrest it is unclear who else will be sought in connection with Banksyโs arrest. CNN spoke with John Hawes who is a project manager for Banksy says he is worried that charges could be brought against him also. โIf they spent this many man-hours and brought this many charges against Banksy, I canโt imagine that heโll be the only one to go down in all of this,โ Hawes said. โAll the beauty Paul Horner brought to this world, unfortunately the London Police just see it as vandalism and want to lock him up. Itโs such a shame.โ - See more at: nationalreport.net/banksy-arrested-identity-revealed/#sthash.iMV60hYI.dpuf

True?, by Dungle on Oct 20, 2014 9:03:10 GMT 1, Police apprehended the famous street artist while in the middle of finishing a piece about a mascot for a Christian organization named Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin. โIโm just happy to be a part of this whole thing,โ Fappy told CNN. โIโm not familiar with this Banksy character, honestly if itโs not in the Bible I probably havenโt heard of it, but if this arrest spreads awareness of the harmful effects of self-rape, then that is a good thing. Hopefully news of this ordeal will bring the much needed attention to the dangers and consequences of playing with your sin stick or ringing the Devilโs doorbell. Hopefully, God willing, one day, masturbation will be illegal and people will finally be free of playing on the Devilโs playground.โ - See more at: nationalreport.net/banksy-arrested-identity-revealed/#sthash.XD3tC6uv.dpuf
