    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! 😮

    @keithnichols7926 13 дней назад +1

    Your slack-line video is great ! If RUclips won't monetize it, they're missing a bet for sure. These two towers are in keeping with China's practice of building skyscrapers that sit unoccupied for years in various parts of their country. Maybe the wire-walkers of LA should go to China and work out on some of those. But I guess a slack line is a slack line wherever it is. However, it's too bad LA has to spend so much trying to keep people off the ones it has.
