Marietta (Georgia) Daily Journal

No quick fix for Marietta's graffiti problem ...Most graffiti here is the work of local gang members, police say. There are 20 teen gangs in Marietta and Cobb, with about 400 active members. That's a lot of potential spray-painters. Ninety-five percent of gang members are Hispanic, and many do not even speak English. There also is an all-girl Hispanic gang in south Cobb, police say, according to numerous reports on the problem filed in the past year by MDJ police beat reporter Michelle Graff.

This is a job for Klan Man!

Faster than a running spook. More powerful than a rioting mob. Able to rope trees in a single toss. Look, at the burning cross, it’s antipathy, it’s justice, it’s …Klan Man.

** “The longer you leave graffiti on the wall, the more it encourages others to write on that same wall,” Marietta Police Chief Bobby Moody told Ms. Graff. “Removing the graffiti quickly helps serve as a deterrent for vandals to put it back on. They begin to realize that it’s inappropriate behavior.” **

What crap. These people have no concept of decent or appropriate behavior.

** That graffiti, and what to do about it, is on the minds of city leaders these days. They passed a law this spring that would fine property owners up to $1,000 if they failed to remove graffiti within 10 days of it being placed there. **

Typical. They can't/won't go after the criminals, so the victims get screwed.
