It not necessary to mention every kind of property when you have said city property. It's just an option. Maybe if asked directly 'do you think graffiti is legal' would be helpful. I guess agreeing to disagree would be helpful here.

Either that, or don't make a distinction between public and private property.<br /><br />Drawing such a distinction suggests that the opinion holder thinks <b>some</b> graffiti is acceptable. The speaker should have said defacing <b>any</b> property - city-owned or otherwise - is not acceptable. If a person marks up their own property or gets permission from the owner, then it can be considered art. If no permission is given, it's graffiti. And that's illegal.<br /><br /><i>... why can't the occupiers? Or any other free American who still believes he has free speech rights.</i><br /><br />I never said the occupiers shouldn't be able to speak their minds or express their opinions while on public property. I'm glad they have the right to do so, and I support that right.<br /><br />But graffiti is not free speech. It is the destruction of property, plain and simple. It's not protected by the First Amendment, and it's certainly not condoned by me.Albatrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156254141379602471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24869193.post-85245279927401547112011-11-15T12:50:20.170-06:002011-11-15T12:50:20.170-06:00Does one have to list every property they would no...Does one have to list every property they would not deface? The offender had defaced public property.<br /><br />I am not an 'occupier' but I agree with their stand against corporate greed. I've seen enough of that in the past few years to last a life time and lost a good bit of money because of them. If the 'tea partyers' can be on public property and hold signs of our president looking like a chimp and ranting about gun users to shoot him or his ilk, why can't the occupiers? Or any other free American who still believes he has free speech rights.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926385091468622891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24869193.post-24676642521274869092011-11-15T00:24:53.349-06:002011-11-15T00:24:53.349-06:00So much for my sense of superiority about our lack...So much for my sense of superiority about our lack of Occupy SA arrests.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746486966764162127noreply@blogger.com
