Grafitti in Warsaw [44]
It (graffiti) can be viewed as an avenue of expression, form of relief or art. We can also call illegal immigrants "undocumented aliens" and drug dealers "unliscensed pharmacists", if we wish to. However, it is still a crime to vandalize property and this is not a victimless crime. The perpetrators usually do their damage at night. When nothing is done and they begin to loose the fear of being caught, it is done in broad daylight. When this happens, it means that this lower level crime has become acceptable. It escalates from there to "acceptable" amounts of violent crimes. Eventually, it can become, "As long as nothing happens to me, why should I worry about it or even bother to get involved". Perhaps citizens can band together and have "watch groups" to point out these people and call the authorities. Since nothing apparently is happening from the top down, it should start from the bottom up. This has worked in other cities and countries and it can work here. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to solve this problem. It just takes good and decent people who have had enough, to get out and do something about it. And this is not just a problem in just Warsaw or just Poland. Warsaw is a beautiful and historic old world city that deserves better. Are there any other suggestions to get something done about this? Thanks guys.
