Buffing Bums

[burned_out_Burner]

Feds give city 5.7M
to wipe out graffiti



BY JEGO R. ARMSTRONG
DAILY NEWS WRITER

Vincent Taliercio stood outside his graffiti-plagued Carroll Gardens store on Friday, frustrated with mounting citywide vandalism, and in need of good news.
Thanks to "Weiner's Cleaners," help is on the way.

Taliercio rejoiced as Rep. Anthony Weiner announced a $5.75 million federally funded anti-graffiti campaign to combat the recent rise in graffiti vandalism in the city.

"The one pet peeve that unites all New Yorkers is graffiti," said Weiner, who was joined by small-business owners outside Taliercio's 60-year-old Smith Union Market on the corner of Smith and Union Sts.

"Nothing would make a community happier than seeing an eyesore like graffiti removed from their community," Weiner said.

Twenty-eight areas have been targeted for the initial graffiti-removal stage - beginning in spring 2006 - with Brooklyn topping the list at 15. Queens was second with seven, the Bronx with five and only one on Staten Island.

"This is still the number one complaint here in Brooklyn," said Weiner.

The $5.75 million graffiti-elimination initiative will be administered through the Doe Fund, a nonprofit organization that finds jobs for homeless men.

Transported in vans, 10 teams of homeless men will paint and power wash away graffiti around the city within a week of getting a complaint.

Graffiti gained notoriety in the '70s and '80s on subways and buses, eventually making its way to commercial and residential buildings.

Street graffiti consists of drawings such as "tags" and "pieces." A "tag" is the vandal's street signature.

A "piece," short for "masterpiece," is a large mural-like drawing that many consider artistic.

Taliercio didn't agree.

"Some people take it as art, but I don't," said Taliercio, 54, who has spent more than $5,000 to remove graffiti from his store walls since 1992.

"Once one graffiti person writes their name, the rest just follow," said Taliercio. "It's a shame they keep doing this but hopefully this program will stop this."

hahaha
what do they pay the bums, a ham sandwich? :lol:

[vegimite on toast]

Wow, great name, 'weiner cleaners'. It pays some homeless guys, so that's good.

[vegimite on toast]

On second opinion, it gives the homeless more money to spend on crack or whatever else they're doing. It's tricky. :wacko: They're paying homeless people money, to get rid of graffiti, but that money is likely to go back into funding illegal activities...


I'm confused... :(

[-=AgA=-TrAnCe]

lol there vegi.

just kill an homeless people you see buffing. just kick em until theyre dead!

[toxus]

[snow2skate]

Those bums will get shit kicked by people if they see them buffing there tags haha, poor bums.

Hey thats a good idea, Find a bum, Teach him how to do your tag good, And have him write it around town for you when your not in town. And since they also dont give a shit theyll get up pretty well also. And since they cant run well due to all the drugs, Theyll probly get cought and take the rap for your work :lol: :D

I'd buff shit for a ham sandwich

[M A G]

^ thats cause your a fag

[settybomb]

if a bum wants to buy crack or booze or whatever, and my 25cents does that much of a difference for a bottle of pure grain alcohol or a rock or some shit, by all means, that bum should be commended for being able to exploit my kindness for substance. So good play homeless guy, good play.

[explosivo_420]

hmm that sounds like an inuendo of sarcasm..

i may be special but im not retarded special.

dont make me unleash my buffin bum.

[JetBlack]

Whats wrong with bums buffing? Theyre gettin paid, so who cares? And if I had a chance myself to buff some of the toy ass shit Ive seen around here, Id probably do it.

Just throw the bum a couple bucks when he goes to buff your piece, and tell him to look the other way.

[.A.K.4.7.]

shoot them

[1nOnly Baze]

wow 5.75 million effin dollars. they could be using that money to open legal places for graffiti that aren't in the way of local bussineseseseses. Or to pay for faster ways to fix streets and get traffic moving..... and you can buy alot of candy with that money. :lol:

[MAGICWORDS]

wtf are all you kids talking about "the bums are gonna spend the money on drugs" dude if they where homeless drug addicts they wouldn't even bother working in the first place. secondly im glade to hear this shit is happening cuz my painting is giving the city a reason to give homeless people a job, i dont care if they buff it, each buff they do ive got 10x more tags up in that same day/night. this is just another 5 million thats just gonna be circulated in a big circle of nothing called society.

thats fuckin bullshit. in my hood there Joe the Bum. He wants to work, but cant because some fucked up shit happened to his eye, so hes about 80% blind.

Ironically he used to be a painter for large scale condos, not only a worker, but one of the people running the show.

He doesent do drugs (anymore), and if he has a few bucks, he'll get a sandwich, nauti ice and a pack of smokes.

[scr3w]

close, this can be in general discussion.

[Kraken]

[3mpir3]

yeah people (don't know if bums) always buffing my shit it gets really annoying

[YUMI27]

I don't know about all yall but my city probably has the laziest buffing squad, in fact usually the owners of the property have to go out and buff themselves, and being as were so close to the mexican border and we all are mexican they usually never do a good job :P
but honestly, if you find out bums are buffing your city, sleeping hobos have to be the #1 target to hit

[ptownbomber]

i havent had that problem but this one time i was in a train tunnel and my friend and i was about to do a throwie and this hobo shinned his flash light at us and said "FUCK OFF!! no graffiti here!!" so we went further down and we looked back and he was walkin around yelling.

[BeeOne234...]
