What some say is gang "tagging", others brush off as just some jerk with a can of spray paint. Recently some graffiti which may be a form of gang turf delineation has appeared in Eastport, and in all places on the wall of a federal government building. What could that be you may ask? The US Post Office. Some concerned neighbors have asked both the police department and the post office to take action. Some of these citizens are interested in removing the graffiti themselves, but that may subject them to a host of problems, including gang retaliation or perhaps even some charges related to federal property. However, from what CP has been able to tell, neither the local law enforcement folks or the post office seems too concerned, nor have they removed the graffiti.
CP thinks the police need to communicate to the public about what this type of graffiti may mean, or may not mean, and how we as a community can cooperate on addressing this.

Hello,
There is nothing innocent about graffiti vandalism unless you are a 2 year old marking up his parent's wall with a marker. You may wish to read what I wrote about graffiti on my blog site.
