Speaking of vandalism

I’m still hoping the marking on the sides of this downtown highrise at 10th and J Streets are some sort of contractor code. But I don’t think so.

There’s a lot of discussion in other corners of the Metroblogging network about “Street Artists” that aims to distinguish tagging with gang or gang-like scrawled lettering from tagging with cute little stickers or spray-painted bunnies or whatnot. I think vandalism is vandalism, regardless of the level of artistic accomplishment of the vandal. Maybe this building is just being marked for construction purposes. If it is, I’ll eat my words. But I still doubt it. Anyone have input?

Update: From KCRA via Sac Forums - someone was arrested in connection with this incident. It caused $50,000 worth of damage. Jerk.

    No, it’s a tagger. There has been one arrest, a 31 year old. The guy did like $50,000 worth of damage.

    Nothing cooler than a 31 year old tagger.
