Well, there is a lot of gang related stuff goin on in this area. Not too long ago we were listed as the 15th most dangerous city, with Compton behind us at 16. (like two years ago) Time of the post. So yeah of course people carry guns. You have to in this city. I don't but, I stay away from the shitty areas. Unless you want your shit taken, ass beat, or even worse, shot. You got to carry a gun.
What I want to know is that this city recently just praised their graffiti task force in an article as one of the top in the area. They talked about how with only 3 or so officers on the force they still make tripple the amount of arrest than other cities. Well yeah! We have a lot of people writting down here, and a lot of them are not smart about it. But by the sound of this article our officers don't know shit, and I'm happy that our dumb ass task force is out teaching other cities to be completely ignorant to what graffiti is really about.
I say lets catch TagBangers...
and I have heard many a cop use this term too. Even to this day, I still hear non-writters use this term.
