Graffiti is now an issue in Bonner County. Several concrete structures, park benches, Big Belly garbage cans, light posts and signs have all been defaced in a cryptic scribble that is barely discernible. The Moose Droppings would like to offer the following observations and pro tips:
We fully understand the need for our community’s youth to aggressively mark their territory. It must be exceedingly hard for today’s young vandals to grow up in a community with so much inner city strife, gang violence, and hopelessness. How else can we expect our children to act after being immersed in the natural beauty of Bonner County, with its four seasons of activities, community spirit and educational and sports opportunities. Is it any wonder that our children seek out to emulate the MS-13 gang culture, adopt ghetto monkey fashions and music, and attempt to make uncool and illegible marks on every static object that they can find?
While we empathize with these young urban artists / aspiring rap stars, who are all working diligently to turn their lives around, may we offer them a tip? If you are going to mark your turf, at least have the common courtesy to do so in the king’s english. It would greatly help the rest of us older, oppressive citizens understand what it is that you are trying to convey in your message of despair and pleading. Also, don’t be bashful and sign your full name. Only by manning up and letting us know who you are can a meaningful dialogue be started, in order that your suffering and plight can be fully addressed. It will also help us enhance your street cred after we use your heads as sandpaper to remove your inane scribble and toss your little butts in jail. Peace, out.
