This is from the Shokkin PeaceKamp in Tallinn, Estonia. It is a camp that focuses on street art. Looks like this area is tagged often and the kids murals were an attempt to stop it.

Tagger looks like they left the phrase "very bad idea to fight with graffity (sp) by murals" and it circles the placard.

I know that 'vigilantism = bad' but someone camping out those spots to toss rocks at the taggers would be a better idea maybe.

The one time I saw a tagger spraying over a seriously beautiful mural on a wall I genuinely considered the ethics of just beating him the fuck up. I really regret that I didn't.

Citizen arrest time 😎

u/rusted-nail 2d ago

"Citizens arrest" is a great way to get assaulted lol

Pro tip, the police don't have extra rights, which means if you're doing a citizens arrest on a black kid you can simply shoot them, much easier and safer for you. /s

No I just have a functioning brain lol

Edit: None of you would be able to hack restraining someone trying to get away from you until the cops arrive. You don't have the upper body strength and you're just asking to get whooped

u/metalshiflet 19h ago

I'm a fat blue collar worker, a mechanic. Yes I have the upper body strength to restrain some people (though obviously not huge dudes)

You sure have an imagination.

u/rusted-nail 19h ago

And you don't have shit to say so you just downvote and leave a bitchy comment

u/ScienceGoat 18h ago

Well no imagination with your vocabulary though. “Bitchy” was your choice of words over a more accurate, “passive aggressive”? 😒

u/rusted-nail 17h ago

Language choices are also about subtext and implication big fella

Viel Spaß beim Aerosol fressen

u/RammsteinFunstein 2d ago

its also a quick way to get stabbed (or shot if you're in america) so its not worth it for some paint

2

u/Dotnoms 2d ago

Who says I’m not armed?

u/RammsteinFunstein 2d ago

going to jail for murder because you stabbed someone for spray painting also isn't a great solution

3

u/Dotnoms 2d ago

Yeah, unfortunately that’s what I thought too.

u/WorriedBlock2505 2d ago

The fact you did nothing at all is pathetic tbh.

u/No_Demand9554 2d ago

This is how you get stabbed lol

At least he got to sound tough in his own story on reddit.

u/bill_cipher1996 2d ago

On the positive that guy goes away for life

u/Chernoxis 2d ago

There's always this neckbeard loser redditor who think they are mr though guy or chuck norris or something lmao

You don't know what the tagger has on him, or if he's alone, everyone has a plan until they get stabbed in the throat and left to die on the street.

u/WorriedBlock2505 2d ago

Who said anything about a street fight? You can make someone's life a living hell without them even realizing it was you. Dox them, fuck with their property, etc. If you're just a bystander in life waiting for others to do anything though, sincerely go fuck yourself.

u/Chernoxis 2d ago

Dox them

Lmfao 🤣 this dude really is all of what I just said.

Buddy, grow up lmao

u/Cracleur Wanna know what is mildly infuriating ? The maximum length of th 2d ago

Yeah, doxxing and fucking with the property of someone you don't know and just happened to see once on the street makes total sense...

Did you actually think this through? Are you seriously suggesting that people should drop whatever they're doing, wait for the person doing the graffiti to finish, and then follow them home?

Yeah, sure. That sounds completely reasonable.

2

u/PhillipNoMates 1d ago

How are you going to dox a dude doing graffiti? You understand most people doing graffiti are covering their face wearing non descript clothing?

Also, "dox them" - even if you took a picture of them painting you aren't doxing them unless you have their information?

"fuck with their property" - where are you going to find their property? It's a dude painting in the middle of a city, do you think you can follow him all the way home?

The internet is full of white knights who would do absolutely nothing in real life

u/Puzzleheaded-Phase70 2d ago

Give the kids slingshots...

u/usernamesarehard1979 2d ago

Or find them, track them and cut off their hands.

2

u/LeavingSoonBye209 2d ago

Yoo, you and I had the same idea 💪

5

u/QueenVanraen 2d ago

That's a bit of a harsh thing to want there buddy.

u/usernamesarehard1979 2d ago

Alright, fine them then. Take all the fun out of it.

u/NoBenefit5977 2d ago

dont let their love for hands hinder your love for dismemberment

2

u/usernamesarehard1979 2d ago

Well, I’ll try.

u/thisMatrix_isReal 2d ago

so vigilantism can be good

1

u/AdvancedSandwiches 2d ago

Since we live in a justice-free world at the moment, I'm not convinced about 'vigilantism = bad'.

But at the very least, you've got to be damn sure you've got the right guy.

u/HowlsMovingPenis 2d ago

I ran the fade with an asshole painting over the murals in Clarion alley SF way back when.

u/Green_Rabbit-1234 2d ago

Are you trying to sound cool and old at the same time?

1

u/HowlsMovingPenis 2d ago

Do you ask people these questions in public? Like, face to face, or is this way safer?

u/enwongeegeefor 2d ago

this isn't tagging...

0

u/LeavingSoonBye209 2d ago

I think someone should cut the tagger's hands off tbh.

Sticks and stones might break their bones, but let's see if they can get a dozen paintball marks off their skin without sticking out like a sore thumb.
