The scratchiti artist who got busted after a fellow commuter on the N train snapped a cellphone picture of him and sent into police had some harsh words for the informant. "They're lucky I didn't see them taking pictures. I would have busted it," 18-year-old Andrew Morello told the Daily News. While Morello says he has given up working on his Plexiglass canvas, he apparently hasn't stopped talking like a tough guy. He told the News, "It's never going to happen again because I don't want to get in trouble no more." And how does Mom feel about her little vandal? "He's no angel, trust me, but he's our baby," Robin Morello said.

that's right, he should have busted that little midwestern losers phone...and head.
Just great "scratchy" compound your stupidness. Even if you busted the phone the memory card would probably still hold the image.
Mom's right. He's no angel, he's an abortion gone wrong. At sixteen he is hardly a baby. I can't wait to see this guy when he makes his bones. Mr. Tough Guy will be dead in a week because he's so dumb.
what a turd!
Filthy little animal.
He looks really hard.
They'd pass him around in jail like a two-level bong.
the dude is only rebelling against society. His mom probably told him he couldn't attend a hannah montana concert
So now he's publicly making violent threats against personal property. Ms. Robin Morello is doing a great job of raisning her son with decent personality traits.
The mother sounds like a real ditz.
What a great attitude the poor innocent child has. In one sentence he says, ""It's never going to happen again because I don't want to get in trouble no more." But in the same paragraph he says, "They're lucky I didn't see them taking pictures. I would have busted it." Now there is an individual that is turning his life around.
I doubt his mother's name is Theresa.
Duz he gots any brothers or sisters with the same mental capacity like he's gots?
Hey Ms. Morello, trust me, you're a shitty mom.
The guido character testimony for the ages—"He's a good kid".
Translation: "He didn't amount to nothin' and nevah will".
"He's no angel, trust me, but he's our baby," Robin Morello said.
Yeah, and maybe if you stopped babying him and forgiving all the stuff he does, he wouldn't be in trouble. Again. And yeah, I'll trust that he's your baby, because I sure as hell wouldn't want him as mine.
I hope if he smashes somebody's phone, somebody else is shooting that. So he smashes that one, continuing up the line. Until the entire train gangs up on the little SOB and beats the crap out of Mr. Tough Guy.
And by the way, "thesquirrelsacorn" is actually Andrew Morelli, trolling the web for his newfound fame.
Heh squirrel I thought subways were for shooting aholes.
Where's Bernie? If every car had a Bernie Goetz in them can you imagine how the crime rate would go down within three months, not just the subways but the city in general? Less cops needed, lower taxes, more affordable housing.
My current phone doesn't have a cam, but I'd be happy to crack this kid's jaw with my Canon SLR if I ever see him on the N.
#10 The city can confiscate your paycheck every week to help pay for cleaning up the mess that dickless punks like this cause.
He's cute. I'd do him.
I can just imagine what Robin Morello looks like. She probably makes Victoria Gotti look like Queen Elizabeth.
...help pay for cleaning up the mess.
This is a problem for the masses when they threaten to up our fares, kid.
Drop by Pearl Paint and get some canvas.
While you're at Pearl Paint pick up some model cement and a paper bag. Put the cement in the bag and put your head in same for about an hour. Let us know how it comes out.
#2 Snoopy, an abortion gone wrong? damn, you are a sick person
for what it's worth, i sort of like scratched subway windows.
yeah, what an artist. this is just vandalism. someone should go scratch the windows at his house, or probably his mom's house where this momma's boy lives. meanwhile, he might get a show at the new museum because that's the level of low class no thinking random amateurish and nonsensical shit that they love.
Give the mom a break. She's obviously mentally handicapped and her offspring is the mutt result of a gang-related rape.
#24- Like Freddy Krueger?
@24 too judgmental, this guy didn't beat or steal or rape anyone. He is a youngster who likes to tagged on subway windows. Are you free of any sins? I doubt it
I'm the kind of liberal pussy who will usually defend graffiti as actual art - in more ornate form, though, not just bullshit one-line scribbles. But scratchiti? Fuck you, fuck you so much.
Yes, he's your baby, and I guess he's inherited your values. Defacing public property? No problem, ma.
#25 - he's the bastard son of 1,000 maniacs.
What a nice boy. I bet he grows up to beat the hell out of his wife someday for not having dinner o the table on time.
No matter how many times you say it, he's still not an artist, he's a criminal.
send the little f*#%er to jail... because in some way his actions cause the MTA to raise rates replacing the window shields and what not!
So Gothamist is calling this guy an "artist"? I guess the term has lost all of it's meaning now, eh?
that's right, he should have busted that little midwestern losers phone...and head.
I guess we assume the informant was a Midwesterner because they respect other people's property while New Yorkers tend to be self-entitled douches?
Nannystate.... hilarious!
Gothamist editors are irresponsible to call this guy a scratchitti "artist". He's a criminal. A destroyer of property.
who's property? the people's MTA? give me a break
Just another cocky Bensonhurst guinea with no purpose in life.
Good thing all he got was his picture taken, not a punch in the face.
"He's no angel, trust me, but he's our baby," Robin Morello said.
Aren't there some warning signs in this, his virginal mother's voice?
