Ugggggggggggh, I know this has nothing to do with the artists we discuss on this board but f**k, because of a couple of f**king assholes this is why they institute such crappy and harsh penalties.

A "couple" of fucking assholes? The number of active gang members in Los Angeles county alone is in the six figures. They all tag. Put something up on the "wrong" street corner and it will not be looked upon kindly.

This is a daily reality for anyone painting a tag, throw up or piece in Los Angeles (along with many other cities in the US).

If you'd like to hear some interesting stories about close encounters of the uncomfortable kind, have a word with LA artists like Revok, Retna, Saber or others from The Seventh Letter crew. It's a proper eye-opener. Getting thrown in jail is often the least of their worries.
