Copping to a graffiti tag

The Issue: Former NYPD cop Steven Weinberg’s double life as a graffiti artist.

***

While “Paint It Blue” (Nov. 6) got it right, the sub-headline unfortunately refers to this miscreant as a “graffiti artist.”

Graffiti is not art; it is vandalism, and should be referred to as such.

Please do not legitimize this ugly vulgarity by calling it art.

It just encourages these cretins to think it is acceptable.

So the notorious graffiti nut “Neo” is a retired cop, Steven Weinberg.

I just wonder if Weinberg’s disability was really from a police incident, or from a graffiti stunt like hanging upside down from an elevated train platform to write his tag.
