"what this article does not say is that anthony albaricci is a drug dealer who has been terrorizing teens in the neighborhood for some time assauting and threatning them. If you look at his story thoroughly you'll see it couldnt have happened the way he said. I believe the teens were defending themselves and should not spend the rest of their lives in jail.They deserve to do time but for the most part they are good kids and got involved in a bad situation by owing this MAN money. The cops should be looking more at the inconsistences of his story investigate him a lil more and put some blame on him. I also think Richard Brown is trying to use these kids as an example instead of finding out the real story!

O.K. So what;s my opinion on this “graffitti vandilism” situation.. Well, Mr. Anthony Albaricci, Mr. Tuff Guy who wants to play victim, “oh,I was sooo scared” You should not at 24 years old be dealing with adolescent boys and you should not be tagging (which bubble letters are not TRUE Graffitti). I did this S*** when i was like 15 years old. You are 24 years old grow up get a real job!Do something other than being a criminal. And you know what i mean!! Your pic was in the paper you don’t think everyone now knows who you are and all the illegal acts YOU’VE committed. You REALLY think no one will talk to the cops about you now!Your nothing but a low level drug dealer and Wanna be Hustler. Stay away from little kids you punk! I hope the cops and the D.A. Brown find out what really happened that night and it all turns on you, and you finally get what you deserve!!!

This did not happen becuz of graffiti-the guy is a drug dealer and one of the kids owed him money. These teens were defending themselves against this man who not only deals drugs but terrorizes teens around the neighborhood. A graffitti artist he is NOT!

Once again, Jen Chung shows us she's not a real journalist. This was a dispute over money; it had nothing to do with graffiti.

Spraypaint does not a "tagger" make.

[2] it is probably because there was no fart joke in the article.

Seems awfully dangerous for graffiti "artists" lately... maybe they should try canvas and an easel.
