		<description>TKO would be just as pissed off about this but wont admit  such a thing in fear of looking like a wimp. Afterall these tagbangers tend to handle their bussiness in a serious way these days, nobody wants to appear the fool in eachothers eyes so they all act accordingly. In all honesty - they act like blind rats, that have no idea what life is really living about. This goes for the both of them. The beef/bomb mentality leads exactly to this point - there is no real point. A lot of people find this truth out in various ways, some will adhere to its awesomeness and other will opt to do what they feel comfortable doing. This lack of understanding change results in poor strategy making and even more consequential decision making. The greed shoots to the rats head and become a slave for attention and confrontation. In a way its like jumping the gun or false starting. It isnt the right to make statements like that, but these folks cant feel that because all they know is how to tick off all the other peole by acting boring and annoying. The very fact that people have to travel to LA to make big ugly graff statements is absurd. And the fact that it was nothing more then a basic roller bomb says LA sucks at bombing and maintaining a good bombing scene. Right now its just a select group of people from certain crews doing specific things in just a number of places. IT would almost look stagnant in other words - lifeless. No more the a year. It never burned more then a single cycle of 4 shitty seasons, before the bankers eye gleamed at it with gold. MONEY is made the men of greed and more of it is what they need. Its used to Breed, Feed, and help your kids Read. But we dont really need it - we dont even belive in it - just rely on it like it can actually be exchanged for gold. Wake up damn it - those days were gone before your grandparents got here. Get the hell up and do a piece that deserves a place in this world - and try not to make it look like all the other shit on the walls around you - it doesnt help. Ill telly ou what helps - being yourself and nobody else!</description>

		<description>So the authorities as they call themselves saw this random act of art as a goldmine. The military in particular I told wants to pocket the 3.7 mil and act like they rid us of an act of terrorism. What are they really trying to do by the ultimate removal and imprisonment of these well off successfull sounding art types? Everything that these artists did to obtain the paint did so in thier own way - but for one sole purpose. After 4 Days they accomplished thier goal, since then it has burnt in the riverbed for a solid year and has slowly started reboosting the life back in the LA graff scene. Not only does this raise the bar and what have yo, but it puts the cans to shame. It tells you how powerful and old fashioned roller bomb can scare alot of closeminded pussies. This is kind of where the heart in graff hangs out, in its primitive element that is hard to challenge. Finally the Bankers, they people who use the army like tools made an offer big enough to some general scumbag who greddily accepted to take place in this blatant swindle of ones freedom to expression. Primarily the contraversy comes from the low quality 2 tone color scheme. Black anf White arent even consider to have any color, they are both positive and negative. This raw form tends to have a hard to see message that only seasoned graff writers can pick up on. Everyone just feels intimidated or bewildered by its meaningful statement. If somebody of Sabers caliber were to attempt this I feel they would use a Dark fill and go around with the lighter base, showing how the light can entrap the darkness within, anything is possible. But seeing as how it was done with a white fill - I dont know what the conditions were - it may have not been optional, it would reveal a straight foreward message that conveying Darkness controlling the light. Now in most peoples heads that cant grip or grasp themselves being owned by someone or some dark corporate entity, if they are told this in a way they can barely interpret they freak out like scared rabbits, they feel the urge to flee the area in hopes of saving their lives, until they learn any better. I dont know what the reaction would have been like if they used a fading color scheme combined with underlaying concave 3rd dimension complete with highlites and aural shading. Mading people would pay attention the same, maybe there would be too much going on to see the message right away. Notice how the military isnt concerned about sabers full on piece whatsoever at this point. They know that the message in that piece is much more respected by the artists and non artists living in the area. What MTA may lack in the in the thought dept. is the word KAIZEN al they want to do is blow up thier name to look like they have testicles when they can be focusing thaqt energy into something much more respectable looking. Big bombing like that is done out of greedy persons state of mind, one who may love or have a sickening addiction with money or drugmoney more likley. The statement made by this wannabe monument piece was too raw and too late. Imagine what a milestone this would have been for MTA if it done at the very beginning of the crews lifespan. Instead it looks like this is end of the major player inside that group, in a self centered attempt to revitalize a hurting graff scene in LA, they pulled the plug on themselves by acting childish and possesive. Bomb hard but, Piece even harder may be where the moral of this story is headed.</description>
