Justifying theft is about as cool as filling a paragraph with the same phrase in quotes.

Sure, the guy is a douche--but it doesn't make you any less of one.

Well i will most definately say that taggers - for the most part - are fucking STUPID! Particularly when they attack murals, small businesses, or destroy other people's art.

That said, you turning in your photos to the cops makes YOU a fucking piece of shit. If you were "soo offended" by what you witnessed, why didn't your sorry ass do something about it YOURSELF, huh? What, were you and your smoking buddy afraid of some twerp on a skateboard, huh? Only in an emergency (maybe) might there be a need to get the cops involved. Clearly, this was NO emergency.

And by stealing the guy's skateboard, NARC, that also makes you a fucking thief - in addition to being a fucking snitch. But hey, in the passive-aggressive pho-progressive city that is Portland, i suppose two wrongs DO make a right. Standing outside a bar late at night smoking toxic ciggarettes, i assume you're a grown person. So what the Hell do you need with someone else's skateboard, anyways?

Nice job, pussy. But alas, you're no "concerned citizen". This is simply a story of two pety criminals canceling each other out.

I fully support the author in turning in that shit to the cops. If more folks did, and taggers received ACTUAL consequences, perhaps we wouldn't be awash in so much shitty "art" and defacing the awesome murals we're lucky to have around town.

More difficult to sit the young buck down and have an honest conversation to sort him out and sent him straight. Though, AFTER the documentation it would have been choice to mess with him.

Kudos, friendo! The skateboard you picked up was the fool-tax he had to pay.... heh heh, and I'm glad you collected.

So "justifiable theivery" is it? The tagger probably stole it in the first place. He'll probably just steal another one, to replace the one that was stolen from him.

Good job!

Jesus. DamosA is 100% correct. Surely a sign of the end times.

I really don't want to pick b/t two pety criminals. But if i HAD to choose b/t a vandal and a theiving self-rightous police-informer - well, the choice is pretty obvious.

Btw, I, ANON, when you turned your shitty phone-cam pics into the police, i trust you also mentioned to them the skateboard you stole, right? RIGHT?

OHHHH ... now I get it ... I was totally thinking "pho-progressive" was some new food trend, hopefully involving boiled Blythe dolls and cabbage. Dang.

Ahhh DamosA when ever i feel the need to look at some pointless uniformed blather you are always there.

Donate the board to rid it of all the negative mojo.

Actually, as it turns out, mixing up pho and faux is a very common mistake - especially in the west.

No, you're wrong sir or maddam. 'pho' is commonly used in place of 'faux', to the point where both words are basically interchangeable. So in a round-a-bout theoretical way, i was correct. Though technically speaking, it is incorrect - but it's nonetheless a technical mistake that most people make.

This could be largely do to the fact that 'pho', when one says it, is actually pronounced 'fah', whereas 'faux' is pronounced 'foe'.

Do you understand?

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am Banksy.

The person in his photo is the serial killer William Boyd Malvo. One more reason to have no respect at all for him.

I bet if I ANON did confront the guy then DamosA would call him / her a "fucking nazi."

"I bet if I ANON did confront the guy then DamosA would call him / her a "fucking nazi.""



Only if he wrote a shitty I, ANON bragging about how he pushed around some kid, knocked him off his skateboard, and stole his spraycan.

Just shut up, DamosA. Please, just shut up. I logged in after all this time to tell you that.

Thanks bro, i appreciate that! Great job!

@DamosA: The proper way to handle someone trying to politely explain to you that you're mistaken on something (in this case pho vs faux) is to say, "thanks, I didn't know that." When you get all defensive, it show's that you know that you're wrong, but that you're too insecure to admit to it. Better luck next time.

Why admit to something when i really shouldn't have to?
Like i said, i was STILL basically correct, even if i wasn't "technically" correct. Basically, pho and faux are interchanable with one another - like pronouncing tomatoe with either the short or long vowel. Sorry bro, but you're just not going to pin me down on this one.

I might not be "perfectly" right on this, but i'm more right than you are.

@DamosA: Nope. You are 100% wrong. Pho and faux are not interchangeable. You just made that up. You are a liar; you've always been a liar and will always continue to be a liar.

Or learn to apologize for your mistakes and take responsibility for your actions like an adult. But, I'm guessing that won't ever happen. If you had the maturity to act like a rational human being, you wouldn't keep getting tazed by the PPB.

Well it's YOUR un-educated opinion that i'm supposedly "wrong", but you're just factually incorrect. Just b/c YOU take a personal issue with someone doesn't automatically mean YOU'RE right.

Sounds like YOU'RE the one who needs to do some growing up.

And you need to do some THROWING UP! And it's not Pho or Faux... it's FOE! WAHAHAHA!

@DamosA: So you're position is that homophones are interchangeable? They're, their, there. Two, too, to. These can just be used willy-nilly without regards to what the words mean. That's what you're claiming.
