I just read about the lawsuit against New York by some "artists" who claim that anti-graffiti laws infringe their right to free speech.
This is not an issue about freedom of speech. That's just a tool to give them some validity. If you tell Americans their rights are in jeopardy, they'll jump all over themselves to defend anything, from tagging buildings to writing messages in yellow snow. Call this what really it is... vandalism. Defacement of private and public property. It's destructive and costs us money. If they have a need to express themselves, there are plenty of legal ways to do it.
