If they did the Graffiti I'm glad they're caught but I find what they were charged with disturbing.

When Glens Falls Police officers Seth French and Brian Lashway went to question them, they found the two had spray paint, markers of the type often used for tagging, that they were wearing rubber gloves and one had a book of graffiti images, Knoop said. They also had what appeared to be spray paint on their clothes, Knoop said.

They would not talk with police about whether they were to blame for the recent vandalism, but were instead charged with the misdemeanors of possession of graffiti instruments, police said.

As long as they have the permission of the owner of the property, otherwise it IS vandalism

I understand a crime called vandalism, but not one called possesion of graffiti instruments.

I still enjoy the graffiti here though!! Alot of Che Guevara!!

Well, it looks like they've already been beaten with the ugly stick.... yeesh.

I agree, though not when its placed on someone's property. I would advocate having certain public spaces for graffiti, and harsh penalties for painting it anywhere else.

I think you are all nuts.... graffiti is ugly and it is disrepectful of other peoples property.

Can't say Ive heard of too many graffiti artists that tag their own homes.

I'm sure the cost of removing graffiti raises prices. When someone spray paints a brick wall with graffiti it has to be sand blasted off.

Graffiti instruments? Spray paint has lots of legitimate uses. I have several cans of it myself.
