February 2, 2008
A 15-year-old boy in New Zealand was stabbed to death while reportedly painting graffiti on a fence in a suburban neighborhood near Auckland. A 50-year-old businessman, who lives near the fence, appeared in court for the murder.
In response to the murder of the tagger the mayor of the town said, “Graffiti is an issue we absolutely want to get on top of.”
Yeah. So is murder.
