The LAPD went on yet another of their regularly scheduled rampages on city streets last night, attacking people with bean bags and rubber bullets, or what they call “less-lethal” artillery, all because some folks were chalking up sidewalks with innocuous political statements. The downtown “Art community” and other assorted boosters have already been blaming the victims for forcing the police to shoot at them: You made me angry so I hit you! I bet the chalkers were also wearing sexy hoodies with provocative messages. With friends like these…
In any case, I went by Spring and 5th today and there was hardly any chalk left of which to speak of, most of it had already been washed away. Mid-block towards 4th I did see these faint outlines on the street. Chalk graffiti certainly deserving to be dealt with by force.
