One would think a graffiti artist on parole would lay low for a while, but not BUKET. The previously arrested Los Angeles writer was sentenced to 3 years and 8 months in prison after he was caught painting again. Following his infamous Youtube clip of broad daylight bombing a highway overpass, included after the jump, BUKET was arrested in May of 2008. And after pleading guilty to 32 counts of felony vandalism in December, he was sentenced to 10 months in county jail and 256 hours of cleanup. Not long after he was paroled this year, police discovered new graffiti, possibly another attempt at viral video fame, and BUKET was put back behind bars and charged with an additional $117,196 in fines for his chronically bad decisions. |LAT|

Had he gone the extra few yards and subtitled his intro? Judge might have understood his artistic intent. This then is a cautionary tale about film making; don't slack on production values
After living with this particular brand of terrorism for four years I can't help but think that taggers must be the most self-important selfish folks around.
They are petty sadists and cowards- spraying on the businesses and homes of the law-abiding (the main reason they aren't confronted confronted by a gun- toting resident) at night when their victims are asleep. They really could never make it as artists, so they spew their meager talents like the childish infants they are- in every direction…. They actually enjoy doing harm to the lives of others when they spray up some old folks' homes. I have this growing feeling that, since most local governments lack the courage to confront them, there will be violence as citizens claim the right to be left in peace.
society gets the vandalism it diserves!! learn something law abiding sheep.
hey chuck guess what us "petty" taggers have boundaries no houses no vehicles that aren't owned by the real "selfish" people, The government! NO churches or any other place of worship no hospitals theirs lines that we just dont cross and you claim that you've had to supposedly live with it around you for four years obviously you have straight up toys in your town or city that cant put up real art have you ever even see real graffiti you know before you go and "spew" your garbage you should do your research and get your facts straight……. Strozo!
