I hate graffiti regardless of whether it contains spelling mistakes or what its message is about.

I remember years ago in a park, a guy jumped off his bike and started spray painting a message on the path. It ended up with it him on the ground, whilst i stood on his neck and explained the idea of council tax to him. Then i sprayed his bike which he was quite upset about probably because it was money out of his pocket. HA HA

tom your a wanker if i saw you do that i would kick the shit out of you
you think using violence ageinst a boy to stop him spraying on a path way is acceptable
you need to think about what you have done, your 'council tax' is never gonna be worth 'stamping on someones neck' what the fucks wrong with you

Sorry you'll making a few incorrect assumptions there.
Its wasn't a boy, it was a fully grown adult about 25 years old. And i didn't stamp on him. I tried to verbally stop him doing the damage, but he gave me serious abuse and told me to f-off.
I could of done two things. Walking away would be irresponsible on my part, because he would believe he has won and is allowed to act like this. This would make it a lot harder for the next person to try and stop him. So i decided to put him on the floor and held him on the ground with my foot so i could talk to him. I'm a judo instructor so I could do so knowing safely.

He knew he was doing wrong because when i started spray his bike, he admitted it was damaging the surrounding area for everyone else (it was a nice recreational park) and said he wouldn't do it again. He was actual ok about it once he realised i was in charge of the situation andrealised what he was doing was actually wrong.

The biggest mistake he made was assuming he could trash the local area and people would walk past and be too scared to hold him to account. Once he realised that was a false assumption, everything else fitted into place for him.

So you hated yourself for what you did to that persons bike? As you said, doesn't matter if it contains spelling mistakes or the purpose / message.

Your act of graffiti was a deterrent to this person, in an attempt to gain a "confession" from him, which you hate regardless right??

PS: gaining "confessions" using of force is not only stupid and injustified but is entirely unreliable.

Mine wasn't graffiti. I was helpfully re-spraying his bike in a fashionable colour but I think he was annoyed and felt it was more like needless damage to something he cared about. Oh well.

>> hypocrite...
Lol. Boo-hoo - tough. Let people will walk all over you then if you want. I had different reasons for painting than he had. And it worked, whereas your latte-slurping, debating would do f-all. You can bleat all you want. I can only pity people who helplessly watch someone destroy something they care about and are too cowardly to do something about it.

I didn't need a confession as I saw it with my own eyes. He worked out he couldn't use physical force to get his way and he couldn't run away, so the only option left was reasoned discussion. He wasn't able to convince me or, more importantly, himself that he had good reason for doing what he was, so he decided to stop.
