Let me guess, they tracked his phone's GPS.

It always bothers me so much how someone who "allegedly" committed a crime can have his photo and full name published in the newspaper in the US.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 18 points 22 hours ago

Yep. Horrifying. That's some sort of mob justice right there, IMO. Who still needs a trial after that, and if you're found innocent it's up to you to sue the newspaper for defamation. Or the police department, good luck with that.

You laugh now, but it's expected in phase 7 of the MCU.

Can’t wait for ”Penis Man & The Vag: Creampiemania”

They'd have to show up eventually

The penis mightier than the sword.

It is not clear yet exactly how detectives traced Ballengee down before making the arrest

Jesus Christ it's not that complicated, you just find the man with the penis

The people who get angry over graffiti are so weird. I feel like being in a city with no graffiti anywhere would feel really weird and unsettling

[–] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it’s artistic, sure. Even if it said “penis man” in an artful way. But this is as close to art as a adult still drawing stick figures. It’s almost embarrassing we don’t have better vandals in the neighborhood.

In some respects the art is in the act itself, in the rebellion, in defiance, in the declaration that "I was here." Even something as simple as a tag scrawled on a wall that seems illegible to the uninitiated but actually contains complex letterforms like Philly's wickets, or even the simplicity from the great Cornbread himself.

In some ways Penis Man here is more of an artist IMO than anyone who only paints legally, even Sofles level murals.

And he went back over the buff too, props to Penis Man.

I go either way since graffiti can range between beautiful works of art and some douchebag tagging his local 'crew' name on my neighbors fence.

This one is amusing and definitely gets a pass from me though.

Graffiti should basically always be done on corporate or city property. Anyone tagging personal property is a dick.

Anyone tagging personal property is a ~~dick~~ penis man

It’s a weird thing I see some amazing graffiti here and there. My city actually pays for and has a competition for it…….. but like 99% of it it’s gang tags and neo Nazi’s sadly

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Interesting, in my area almost all of the graffiti that isn't just random art or names is things like trans flags, acab, free palestine, etc. I don't think I've seen any nazi stuff I recognized

Were I God Emperor of New Jersey, I'm setting aside art money to have graffiti artists liven the place up a bit. A lot? Go wild at the Atlantic City Racetrack maybe.

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

God Emperor of New Jersey is the Dune spinoff I never knew I needed!

That's what I thought, looking at that sly grin
