Guess we're gonna have to start a new category: "Taggers Caught in the Act," perhaps? Because Avi Adelman really wants us to post his latest work as cinematographer: this vid of "taggerettes" taking marker to Shell station on Lower Greenville a few days back. Notes Avi. "A very high-resolution version of this tape has been forwarded to the DPD so they can review and prosecute our little gangbangerette." Hey, at least this tagging vid ain't 10 minutes long. But, jeez, right after Trash Attack and Graffiti Wipeout day. Angela Hunt will not be pleased. --Robert Wilonsky

Dallas Can't Academy says:
Nice work Avi. I caught a tagger late last year and turned him in. I guess the DPD does prosceute because I haven't seen that guy's fine work anywhere since then and he was everywhere.
However, the day in question was the day I officially felt old.
Lakewooder says:
Someone needs to get a template of her tag, follow her home and apply it to her car.
dave Little says:
I loved how "Get the CIA out of Tibet" stayed for a few weeks
on traffic sign at the corner of Mockingbird and Greenville.
As for the video, that's probably why gas is so high. but i feel much safer knowing that those taggers will soon be behind bars.
go away says:
Avi Adelman is a loser. Doesn't he have his own website to whine about this pointless crap??
Rob says:
After she finishes drawing those squigly lines, her buddies congratulate her. What exactly is her accomplishment? I didn't see anything that looked particularly challenging or artistic. And what's the deal with the hula-hoop guy?
chris says:
Avi, you lost points today after you did a good deed last week. While im all about being a video avenger(except when you show people going pee-pee on a lawn), you have to pick and choose the battles you get into. Those kids look like they'd cut you with a blade if ya looked at them cross-eyed.
Avi S. Adelman says:
How can you say I lost points for documenting another illegal activity???
While I appreciate your concern for my safety, I have good reason to think they and their friends will be in jail very soon and have no time to look for me.
It's not like it won't be easy to find my house - it's the one with the red and white circles on the roof.
For the record, I am very well protected in my home, and have taken the proper safeguards to protect myself should these teenagers find me.
Dirt Monkey says:
"For the record, I am very well protected in my home, and have taken the proper safeguards to protect myself ..."
Still sporting the aluminum foil on the head? I thought that was only for aliens. And why do I have images of Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State? Meh.
those cholo's make me sick.
