They’ve been there for well over 6 years. What does this teach our children?

Living across from Montclair Elementary gives you a unique opportunity to interact with taggers, OPD, and OUSD. Over the last 9 years, I’ve filed numerous police reports (including detailed make/model/license, tagger description), helped the police corner taggers, picked taggers out of a line up from a police car, chased taggers off of school property when OPD doesn’t show up, etc. I’ve done more about graffiti than almost anyone else reading this message.

Want to guess how many of these interactions ended up with any convictions – or heck – even a stern lecture over the last 10 years?

None.

Why bother? It has been an absolute and complete waste of time to do the right thing.
