Compare the Harvard graffiti to that found in Crystal Lake:
This Waste Management dumpster had dueling gang signs.
(The Crystal Lake story is here.)
You can’t really compare signs and writing.
They only mean that they may come from a different gang.
I sure hope that the Crystal Lake graffiti was tagging and not gangs.
Has anyone ever find out.
It shouldn’t take long to find out if it was tagging and the findings should be reported to the citizens.
Now this does look like kids stuff in Harvard.
EPIC is a music group but I would still like to know if the signs in Crystal Lake were tagging.
This is hysterical. These are all absolutely terrible except for the “gang signs” which arent even gang signs..
They’re called “Handstyles” and it’s just ONE PERSON.
It’s the writer’s moniker.
NOT a gang sign.
I’ve seen EPIC up by “The Other Side” and it was almost as bad as the other garbage that they consider to be decent.
And as for the “hearts,” it actually says “KUSH.”
It looks like it was on a person’s trailer, which is pretty frowned upon among graffiti writers; tagging someone’s personal property is a major no-no.
Thanks for your information.
