Why Graffiti still consider illegal ?

[Dre-Day]

So now I´m a idiot and a vandal 
What the hell? 

not going to judge you, since i don't know where you are active and what your intentions are

but the places where i spot graffiti in my city, i don't see any signs of it being intended as art; it's pure vandalism, sometimes it even contains offensive (even racial) statements

eye like seeing that shit but eye can see where niggas that own stores coming from......

Word... and hiphoppers
got to respect graffiti because its one of the four elements of hiphop.

Last week there was a thread about this element;
West Coast Pop Lockers ? (LMFAO!!!)

I don't care if they are down with suga free, these guys are a joke 
And even if this dance is one of the original elements of West Coast hiphop,these pop lockers looks like idiots to me.




and now you can tell me how HARD are these guys 'cause they're bloods,i still don't give a fuck.

What the hell? 

hey chad,i've never said you are an idiot

That's the basic principle. You do whatever you want to do to your home (as long as it's yours) - paint the walls in blood if you care, but what you don't do is violating someone else's property rights. That's the first rule of the judgement system in a free society. Wouldn't you feel like your rights have been violated if some fucker sprayed paint all over your car at night? No matter how much he intended to make it a masterpiece - that's still your car.

Graffiti is a crime, as it should be. Graffiti artists should be thrown in jail. Learn to respect the next man's rights to freedom if you wish to maintain yours.

I know  ,not directly (or even aimed at me in any way) 
But you make fun of poppers,lockers and other members hates graffiti.
I used to pop (not lock),and can still do it. = I look like an idiot 
I´m a graffiti writer. = some members think this is vandalism,so I guess I´m a vandal 

i love the graffiti and i was jokin about the poplockers,its just a fuckin weird dance to me.

i know; with the example with the previous post, i was just showing that if it's meant to be art and looks good then i can at least appreciate it to a certain extent.
that doesn't mean that i respect/support it(not saying that you said that i did, but i just want to make sure that there is no confusion) when people violate other people's rights.

lol im saying taggin came from gangbanging, and the fact that people get killed over it, thats y its considered illegal because kids lose lives whether their juz taggin for fun, crossin out sum1's name , or ur just an artisit. for example mutha fuckas still mad dogg you as if they gonna jump out the car when ur doin community service and cleanin up all the taggin and sometimes they do. thats y its still illegal because violence surrounds it in general.
