Recently graffiti has been appearing all around Cooper Point Road and around Evergreen State College. Most recently, a neighbors new fence was tagged with some gibberish about not consuming. It's all some anarchy mumbo-jumbo. THIS IS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF FREE SPEECH!!!! THIS IS JUVENILE VANDALISM AND IS CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR! Adults can express their opinions without destroying other people's property, especially people that are perfectly innocent I'm sick and tired of seeing my neighborhood defaced by this idiot. The family who lives in this house is not wealthy. Its a very small house. They appear to be from India and working hard to make the American Dream happen. They moved in a few years ago soon after I did and have been fixing up their house and yard ever since. They seem to be very friendly - perfect neighbors. What did they do to deserve this vandalism?

We have to catch this guy. He's ruining the whole neighborhood. The neighborhood association is posting a description of a guy who could be responsible. He's white, young 20s, slight build, maybe 6' high, thin beard. He was riding a bicycle and had a red back-pack. He was seen acting very suspiciously at the scene. 15 minutes later, he was gone but the graffiti was there. Does this sound like anyone you know? Please turn him in before one of the neighbors stifles him. John
