If you are going to tag stuff, at least be better than the other guy. That lame ass tag is sad.
Mr. Ali was walking around (assisted)? Damn. Looks like that Floral Park facility he was transferred to FUCKED UP.
The amount of tagging and other hideous forms of graffiti is getting out control these days. My building was tagged twice in recent months after going a few years without. The abandoned section 8 building on my block is a magnet for this shit and it is encouraging every asshole with a can of spray paint to fuck up someone else's property and home. Building owners must report graffiti to the police every time it happens otherwise the city will do nothing about it. Encourage your building's owner or at least super to paint over or strip the tags.
IIRC, the man who killed Akkas Ali, Shaun Martin, has several court dates in the next couple weeks. He got arrested again while out on bail--drug charges, I think. It will be interesting to see what happens to him. I'm still betting he never serves time.
