Akbar pg 1 | “Graffiti”,as you call it if you work in the local council’s cleansing department, or “street art” | I know graffiti is a way of life that people use to express themselves.Graffiti is what make the city look original or stylish in my opinion because of the fact that where I’m from the bronx,Graffiti is everywhere and people should appreciate it not frown upon it. |
Akbar pg 1 | “Last week the might of english law delivered its verdict at southwark crown court where five members of the DPM graffiti crew were jailed.” | They should let people do graffiti is art,last time i check art is not a crime.People should not be going to jail in the first place because of Graffiti.Is almost a freedom of speech type thing.There is felony charges such as vandalism but thats another situation. |
Akbar pg 2 | “ziggy has been sent to prison for 18 months having pleaded guilty to a crime not involving violence,terrorism,knives or drugs but vandalising public property” | This is just crazy to even think about, I would have violated the justice system.Yet there are way worse crimes than vandalism but somehow,Graffiti is a felony that deserve that much prison time?On top of the fact that it does not include violence,terrorism,knives or drugs is just even more obscure.All I can say is wow. |
rafique pg 1 | “I believe graffiti is a valid art form that has been around since the early cave drawings and in many ways embodies a culture,” said Warren McKinney, director of Art Seen Alliance and Art Outside. | This guy Warren knows what he talking about and this is something I could agree with 100%.To Be honest graffiti was the first thing humankind achieve by drawing what they saw inside caves.So how is it a crime today?Its a culture a way of life,One that expresses one another and show what the person inside is feeling. |
Rafique pg 2 | “Basically anywhere you have young people who have adopted a culture of being anti-social, with no regard for others or their property, you will have graffiti.” | Basically graffiti is everything and everywhere and it wil never stop,Because its a culture.Last time I check culture is something that lives on beyond the beyond.So nation’s be prepare to just accept the fact graffiti is art.Yet they try to make things harder by putting rises against charges on vandalism but it does not matter,We will still write our messages and what we want to show to the world. |
