Blaming the Victim for the Crime

Boy, there's a lot of this going on right now. We have a whole assortment of Hollywood morons trying to excuse the inexcusable behavior of director Roman Polanski, even going as far as blaming the 13-year old victim for her rape.

And then there's this from the City of Los Angeles:
Looking to prevent your home from becoming a tagger's canvas? The city of LA has a plan that asks homeowners to pitch in or pay -- whether they want to or not.

All new buildings in Los Angeles -- including homes -- must have anti-graffiti coating under an ordinance approved unanimously by the City Council on Tuesday. There is an exception if the owners promise to remove any graffiti on their property soon after it appears.

The ordinance will take effect 30 days after being signed by the mayor.

Maybe if the officials would do their job and make the city gang-free, homeowners wouldn't have to pay to make their homes graffiti-free.

This is just one more instance of politicians not doing their job.
Instead of protecting the innocent they coddle down to the criminals.
There should be a concerted effort on behalf of the cities to crack down on "tagger's" and when apprehended they should be severely punished, such as having their vehicles impounded and sold by the city with the funds being deposited in the city coffers, be assigned to city work crews to perform community service, and have their names published in the papers even if they are underage.
