Monday afternoon around 2:45 I was driving up West St to Pleasant and I noticed the the Statue of Liberty was spray painted with the letters UPD on the back of the statue, also the little fountain across from it was also tagged
In all my years I do not remember any of those monuments ever being touched. I hope who ever did this is captured. Hopefully the public will be vigelent.

The resident are not the same on the Parkway. The inner city is creeping up. It is a shame that this took place and even more of a shame that nobody saw this happen. I hope the little bastards are caught and made to hand scrub every statue in Utica for the whole summer.

That statue was re-done not to long ago too. What a shame that this crap happens, especially up there.

Maybe they should start using trail cams on some of these locations. We could re-name them scum cams and snap their picture and then post in the media. "This just in.....captured by the scum cam is this scumbag commiting this crime....". Whatdya think?

Yeah, and maybe the camera could be equipped with a laser that would shoot out and taser the filthy animal until Police get there.

I hope the little bastards are caught and made to hand scrub every statue in Utica for the whole summer. Your right. And at this point of time there is no place further up the scum can move into to. They are cut of by the parkway. Watch out South Utica you get to become the new inner city.

That Sniper Team is in place if they dare come across the overhead bridge leading into North Utica!

The problem is that we no longer actually punish criminals- In fact often times THEY'RE the victims. I bet if these idiots were actually punished beyond a slap on the wrist people would think twice.

What if the vandals were FROM North Utica? Oh hell, probably we will need a sniper team to defend against the vandals from NH too. Like the one's arrested the other day for breaking into the building at the NH School athletic field. Damned vandals are spreading like a pox.
I remember back in the 50's and 60's when some vandals from N Utica, including a prominent alderman's son were arrested for breaking into a summer home, that used to sit in the wooded area betwen the two churches just east of Fast Trac on Herkimer Road. I was lucky in that I was one of the few teens in the area that had parents that made us stay in after dark and out of trouble. I was not involved, but all my friends and neighborhood kids ended up on probabtion and had to pay restitution.
Vandalism and graffiti are widespread, and not confined to the inner cities and statues. You find that crap on bridges and buildings every where. When I drove a truck, I dropped a trailer to be loaded, and went to the truckstop to sleep. When I went back to pick up the trailer the next morning, it had graffiti painted on it while it was being loaded during the night. That was in rural Iowa. Kids simply don't always have respect for the property of others. It is not confined to class or neighborhoods. It is kids of all social class and all areas of the country.

Wcup, I think the "scumcam" is great idea. I guess the only problem is that the way the world is heading right now, the scum is spreading so fast that we would have to have satelite cams for scum cams in order to cover all the areas that scum is acting up. At least with a satelite cam, it would be wide enough angle to video the little bastard doing the deed, and then follow him all the way to his door, possibly in Deerfield, or Marcy, where it could zoom in and note the address for the police. It would be much cheaper than manning "scum copters" to fly 24/7 over all the areas of the cities and surrounding areas, shooting video.
