    New problems at the Ocean White Plaza coffee buildings in downtown Los Angeles. You thought you seen it all and something new is happening. You got to see it to believe it.

    This was an EXCELLENT! Very well done on your part GiV Mike. I was in NYC on August 7th, 1974 when Philippe Petit highwired the 138 feet between the two towers of the original World Trade Towers. He was arrested afterward. All charges and fines were dropped when Petit agreed to do a high-wire performance for children.

    Stopping this is actually quite easy, if convicted of trespassing, convicted of graffiti, mandatory five years in a state prison, illegal to drive in California for five years, notwithstanding what other state driver license you obtain. No state licensing of ... for ten years, ie. a real estate license, business license, tattoo license or ... mandatory garnishment of monies earned like it is for child care and most importantly, the cost of all this management to enforce compliance be charged to the convicted. See folks, if this were to happen, then all who are convicted of such crimes will go away with nearly all moving out of California to do what they do in another state, destroy property of others. Something tells me other states aren't friendly to graffiti artist as much as California is! A second conviction seven years and a third ten years! 😮
