Code: Select all

Climbing onto an overpass above the Hollywood Freeway in broad daylight to paint his tag in letters six feet high while a video camera captured it all on tape must have seemed like a good idea at the time, but now that a graffiti artist named Cyrus Yazdani has been sentenced to three years and eight months in state prison in California, he might be wondering if YouTube stardom was really worth the price.

what a noob.

Dumbass.

Bullshit sentence

three years for that? The worst they should of done was community service. Make him clean graffiti up in walls for an entire year or some shit.

yep

Interesting, so my tax money is being used to feed a guy that was trying to suicide/graffiti a bridge. They let shoplifters get away but jail graffiti artists for 3+ years...

straight owned that freeway overpass

3 years doesn't seem that bad for what it earned him.

If he were to make a piece, that's OWNING that freeway ( make the whole bridge TKO would of been better ). That was simply a throwie, nothing big and daylight? that's pretty much stupid....

I'd give him props for doing it on daylight, even though it was straight out just ruining the whole game. TKO is pretty big around here though, you can even see them on sidewalks >>. I'd top him if it comes to doing throw ups >:D

Exactly my thoughts. lol

What a load of bullshit. The people who should be in jail are running around free and you catch some dude scribbling on an overpass and viola! 3 fuckin years! what a load of bullshit.

You do realise why he got such a long term right?

-He put the public in danger by putting himself in a very dangerous situation.
-He cost the government a LOT of money to take it down
-He was vandalizing

youtube brings out the retards...

it doesnt even look good

Last week there were two girls on trial in Holland who were charged with attempt at murder; they held a girl under water for more than a minute during a waterpolo match. Team mates had to forcefully pull the attackers away, else they would've killed the girl.
So the verdict came in: guilty of attempt at manslaughter. Sentence: banned from waterpolo and some community service, not more than 100.
A girl almost died and you get to walk, in America you go away for three years for spraying some graffiti.

I guess that explains why our prisons are empty and yours are full. Three years is absolutely ridonculous though.

3 years for this? lol.
