Mom Drives, Sons Tag, Police Say (Los Angeles, Mexico)
LA Times ^ | 8/30/06 | Amanda Covarrubias and Andrew Blankstein

On Avalon Street in a neighborhood here, Victoria Villicano was known as a devoted mother who was often seen behind the wheel of her sport utility vehicle, driving her two teenage sons to stores and sporting events.

But Los Angeles Police Department detectives claim the 42-year-old also drove a five-member tagging crew, including her two children, around several L.A. neighborhoods, stopping long enough for the group to jump out and vandalize.

Authorities said they believe the crew is responsible for spray-painting about 100 sites along Sunset Boulevard, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Their alleged reign came to an end last week when police received a call about some teens tagging a neighborhood 7-Eleven store.

Undercover vandalism detectives said they found one of Villicano's sons -- still with fresh paint on his hands -- near a wall, dumping clothing and paint cans into a trash can. Police found the other alleged taggers waiting with Villicano in her SUV.

Hey, it takes real bravery for an artist to anonymously express himself in unconventional ways on other people's property.

While being chauffeured around by mommy.

"Ray Bermudez, Villicano's 60-year-old stepfather, said she would often leave the house with her sons, but it was to go shopping or play sports.

"She goes shopping, she comes back and it's normal," said Bermudez, who shared the small, ramshackle backhouse with Villicano and her two sons, ages 15 and 19. "She's a good mom. She's old enough to know better."

According to relatives, no one is ever anything but good. Caught in the act, no less!

We are all just getting better and better, and one day it's just going to be so lovely here...

"Three Amnesty Candidates here"

"Three firing squar candidates here."

Quick and simple fix.

For the lurking Libroids, please note the article's mention of what these Turd Worlders were writing on other people's walls. HIV meant "High In Violence".

Anyone still believe we are just getting hard working lettice pickers?

Somebody has to say it:
"Just doing the tagging that Americans won't do..."

Is there any other "culture" where folks spray unintelligible scrawl on walls?

Hrmph. In the tolerant multicultural world of the liberal, that intelligible scrawl is worshiped as art.

Not "Just Damn", just time for industrial strength paint remover!

Should be possible to do a "drive by" high pressure spray application.

For what its worth, they do it in Paris along the buildings adjoining the railroad tracks on the way in from the airport.;

Sometimes they do it on canvas. Then it gets hung up in museums for the smart people to goggle over.

The most unintelligible stuff gets taxpayer funding.

Same in Germany - it is all over the place along the railroad tracks.
