outside but it's still private property.

No, she broke into several places, including the roof. She even tagged the bathrooms and smashed the mirrors. It was a weekly thing for her.

That's allegedly what happened, that wasn't even entered in as evidence in the court transcript, [her] - her group, [her] - Back, could be the media trying to make her look bad and stuff.

She is destroying private property, the business owner would not like that. She deserves the time.

Whats the big deal?

Big deal is 3 months jail.. when there are other means of punishment where it would better fit her, ie, reintergrative shaming as I posted a page back, not even that, but what pisses me off is 3 months for this when a drunk driver can get of numerous times and not even have to spend a day in jail.

Depending on what state you live in, laws are different.

That's not true at all. And you need to remember, this isn't the U.S. we're talking about. They're two totally different governments, so the laws are different. The law is the law. Vandalism must be a more serious offense down there.

You do realise I come from the same state as her? (NSW, Australia) :laugh:

She didn't go to jail for writing her name on a wall, which is what the idiot who wrote this news post is trying to put out there. She went to jail for vandalizing private property, which is indeed a jail-able offense.

If all she did was write her name on a brick wall, then, even if it is termed vandalism, the punishment was still too harsh. If she alone was the one causing all of the other damage, as well, then sure, I can see a three month jail sentence as being fair. Too bad it says she was in a group, and was not responsible for all of the damages. It becomes persecution, not prosecution, when you lay the faults of the many on the shoulders of an individual.

I'd make the little bitch clean it off, and, if necessary, paint the walls over. All in all, it could be settled within five minutes, if it wasn't something difficult to clean off. Like a pen. ^^

I also live in NSW and I'm a graffiti artist, and have only been caught once tagging and all i got was a warning but my friend was graffin up this school and a security guard caught him, all he got was a warning too and he did a massive piece not just a tag. Seriously, all she did was a little tag on the outside wall of a cafe IN PERMENANT MARKER. If i may add permenant marker is not that permanent. There is no way she deserved 3 months.

Calm down. She was trashing the place weekly. Learn to read before you troll.

2Shire FTL that lord of the rings freaky flat chested weirdo! BTW, the law protects you and also can destroy you, she should have known doing something wrong is gonna cost you something, but i would have made her do community service.

she looks like a boy so she can stay in jail :D

They were serial pests that cost the cafe about $200 weekly. Look at it... gosh.

dude ive read the whole thing already. It did not say that she by her self cause the damage and it also did not say that it was from graffiti.

lol, its actually based on the judge, and if there was a jury. In reality, community service is enough.

Side note: keep your love quarrels off the forum and via private pm, else it'll both make you look bad. Rep is everything here, without it you'll be a cyber loner.

We chinese/asian people respect our damn property...If I was the judge,I would have sentenced her like 5 years of prison including cleaning up the Graffiti in the whole entire city.Graphiti is not a form of art,it's vandalizing other people's property, and nobody likes that,you can draw on freakin paper instead of on walls.

It's not fun going to work and seeing hardly readable letters all over your wall.

They used her as a example I guess.

she gets what she deserves.

This is one of those things were you'd really be the most pissed at the receiving end of the graffiti.

Yeah, if you guys were the one that got 3 months jail for a little thing which other people get off for, you would be up in arms about it.

I would be pissed, but that's what jail is for. It ferments you and eats you up inside until you understand what you did wrong and what kind of inconveniences you caused others in the process of "having fun."
