Denver Bans Sharpies From City Buildings

2. Yes, the story states that the "taggers" who vandalize

the city property are the primary cause for the ban.

Unfortunately, I see the same issue with the young kids in my apartment complex. While they are mostly using chalk, the kids get it ingrained into them that it is okay to draw and tag not only sidewalks, but the brick walls of buildings and every other piece of property available. I've even seen it on the washing machines and dryers in the community laundry room.

I blame most of it upon the parents who won't do anything to discipline the children and teach them that it is wrong to deface property that does not belong to them. I've become the "grumpy old man" of the apartment complex and I just turned 52.
