Graffiti Tourist Arrested in NYC

Last month a Queens couple was caught tagging international property, as well as plenty of surfaces in NYC. Now , WNBC reports that authorities said "a resident of the Netherlands who came to New York as a 'graffiti tourist' has been indicted on charges of spray painting a subway car and leading police on a dangerous chase." The chase occurred down the subway tracks! And the 23-year-old Robbert Boxem (aka KRAE) now faces charges of criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. Boxem was allegedly here for the international graffiti event Meeting of Styles.

Well said, but you do know they prefer to called "whiggaz". Now it's offensive anymore.

He must have gotten tired of running around in wooden shoes and sticking his finger in dykes.

Sounds like a terrorist to me. Send him to Gitmo indefinitely.

Dikes? Dykes? What is the accepted spelling?

his graffiti isn't even good
