Surf City cracks down on taggers while they run rampant in Santa Ana

The City of Huntington Beach will be voting tonight on “a proposal Monday that would give police the power to fine anyone carrying spray paint cans in public parks, playgrounds and beaches — even if they don’t have the intent to commit vandalism,” according to the O.C. Register.

What a great idea! Why isn’t the City of Santa Ana implementing such measures? We have a lot more graffiti in our town than H.B. does.

“The ordinance would also allow officers to cite minors who possess spray paint, marking or etching tools between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. – the most frequent time frame in which graffiti is applied, according to a staff report by police Chief Ken Small.”

That's great news. The gangsta taggers are nothing but ignorant street vermin and they should be dealt with accordingly. I say cite and fine the taggers and their parents. Also, let the parents do community service (graffiti removal with their little artists). I am so tired of the property destruction and costs associated with these little jerks. Three cheers for Huntington Beach.
