    David Shimamura and Nick Mizumoto aren't artist, and everyone should banned whatever art and shows they have. A real artist would have asked the owner if it would be alright to paint. Worst type of artist if it isn't yours or didn't asked for permission than just leave it alone.

    I can’t believe those vandals just stood their and smiled despite being caught in the act. Once again, they know nothing will happen except a slap on the wrist. I feel for the restaurant owner who is just trying to make a living here. Unfortunately, vandalism isn’t really seen as a big deal in this city so if there are no consequences, it will just continue. Very sad.

    Shit like this is a good example of the kind of harm social media has caused in society. This poor business owner doesn’t deserve to be trolled by an endless stream of teenage edgelords from the internet.

    Instead of wood, the owner could consider using aluminum. With this material it can easily take off spray paint

    I’m on the side of the “Vandals”
    The dining restrictions have been lifted for like three years now and people still have the restaurant in the fucking street no it’s time to move on that’s public property and should be accessible to everybody. Why are private property owners allowed to profit off of public property? That’s our property , not just theirs. They’re so fucking entitled it makes me sick.
