Ive noticed that there has been more graffiti around our area than before.We used to just see it on the trains that passed through,now I saw tagging on the old pizza hut building. This needs promt attention before our Area begins to look like so many other cities across this country.If it is a sign of gang activity,We definatly need to get that element out of our Area.

Get ahold of yourself. Making generalizations about people that live past the McKay's in Empire is a pretty ignorant thing to do. I've lived in this area for 22 years. I have noticed something. Deviants live everywhere. And deviance takes place everywhere.
Don't paint the residents of Empire with such broad strokes. I doubt you are as small-minded as your post suggests. Hopefully, your future contributions will be better thought out.

I am grateful that The World chose to not publish photos of the graffiti. It wil only encourage others. I served on an anti-gang task force in Eugene several years ago. We were told by law enforcement and gang task force members from Seattle, Portland and So Cal that we should paint over all graffiti ASAP to take away the power of their image. It worked for us with the help of students at North Eugene HS.
