Graffiti is everywhere, you can't escape it. Gangs of teenage morons seemed determined to deface our city with their juvenile scribblings. Why?
To me it comes across as stupid and thoughtless and costs our city of Wollongong millions of dollars a year. Why should we have to pay for that?
Most graffiti we see is what is known as a "tag" and most gang members have their own individual tags as well as the one that signifies their particular group. For example - post codes, "Warilla Boys", "Port Boys" "Oak Flats Elite" "One Seven Soliders" etc
Why do young boys feel the need to join gangs and what are the consequences? It all begins from the point a youth gang forms, until each current member is locked up.
So is this the end of it? Not yet. Locking members up makes the gang stronger, family members, close friends and keen locals insist on continuing the violence to prolong the name of their "boys", "girls" and suberbs violent history.
No matter how long I gaze at these scribbles, I still cannot identify any talent in the hand of an under developed pre-pubescent boy scribbling “F*** off” or “2526” across people’s prized possessions, or better still, stabbing their ex girlfriend's new romance.
This costs money the people inflicting this cannot afford even with a whole years pay! Leave our cities alone! It will benefit you when you’ve aged and hopefully formed into bigger and better crews, such as the team of employees at your job. As you screen the city’s skyline from your balcony on the hills you will inhale the clean air and thank your community for keeping it’s surroundings pristine and murder free.
Seriously, enlighten me with your reason, your ‘excuse’ for these murders, "tagging" and brawls .
