I love it. Please, please jail time.

I think we should start hitting convicts with a whip like they do in Singapore. Locking this guy up in a nice air conditioned jail cell isn't going to stop him from tagging again.

No jail time. Hard labor. That is what all criminals should have to do. Never ending trash & debris pickup, Sidewalk weeding, street sweeping, painting, food pantry gardens for the needy, etc. bring back the chain gangs. We all hate the amount of amenities that criminals have. It's the prisoners themselves that make staying in prison truly bad.

Good Job arresting a young man with a can of spray paint. While robberies in the piedmont park 10th street area are on the rise.

It's ridiculous that people are calling for jail time for this minor offense.
The jails are full of people who did minor things, we don't need more of them in there for nothing.

Hard to call this magnitude of damage as "minor." Stop the minor offenses early, and it'll prevent major ones down the road. Plus, positively impact quality of life. My vote: 30 days jail and fines.

I agree jail time is ridiculous.. The kid needs to see a psychologist and do community service. Jail time would turn a silly kid into a resentful, real criminal. He did not kill anyone or hurt anyone. He was an artistic kid whom thought it was cool to tag around the city.

Don't glorify his crime by posting his tags.

You guys are so sad. Calling for a young, talented artist to go to jail (actually prison) over tagging. All of this feeds into the prison industrial complex... I wish we could value the lives of others and not simply label people as criminals. I went to high school with this young man. And, he was one of the kindest people I've ever met. Do you guys not understand that his life is about to ruined because he wanted to publicly express himself? Lets just jail all musicians and film makers as well huh? That'd make for a lovely society.

@Christian...'talented artist'? You're right. It's sheer genius that this 'artist' could imagine so many unconventional places to write his name. Sadly Van Gogh wasn't recognized for his greatness until after his death. It may take generations for this world to realize the greatness of 'ptosis'. Especially the one on the dumpster. It works on so many levels.

ruining a young mans life for these crimes is what is wrong with society today. wearing my "free ptosis" tee today, and spreading the images of his ART all over the internet, fb, and the atl. care about real crimes b4 i spray up your house, name on link...hahah

"if art is a crime, than god forgive me"

what a horrible depressing world we live in. A place where we are not free to express ourselves. Where the rich remain rich and the powerful remain powerful. A place where if you don't live by their morals, you suffer. A place where cameras watch you from every angle and track everything you do. A place where you live in fear of uncertainty, and the only way to express yourself is through what you purchase.
Damn the world...
Support Zach ...
and hope for a better world, because this one is fuked

I the last man of the world sat and watched it burn. I watched it burn. I drank the last drop of water. The last drop which could of extinguished the flame.
