Pittsburgh's Crime Wave: Chicken Graffiti Vandal Strikes Again

Post 1

The tweet from the Pittsburgh Police begins:

'Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Graffiti Squad detectives seek the public's help in identifying a male suspected of spray-painting graffiti inside a Southside pub and possibly elsewhere.'

It goes on to outline the details of the crime. On 1 December, a 21-year-old male with long brown hair entered Rugger's Pub shortly after midnight. After ordering a drink, he went into the bathroom. Moments later (keep this in mind!), he left the bar.

Patrons complained that there was a strong (and apparently, unusual) odor coming from the bathroom. 'Staff found the image of a chicken freshly painted on the walls and mirror.'

The cops say this isn't the only place this has happened. Similar graffiti have been found elsewhere in Southside and Oakland, where the big universities are. The police don't say, but I'm thinking they should look for an art student with a quick-draw style.

Pittsburghers are no help. They're tweeting back with art criticism.

You probably don't know the chicken graffiti vandal, and wouldn't tell us if you did, but feel free to offer your views of this picture:

Elektra thought it was a turkey. I'm inclined to agree.

Everyone got distracted by a bunch of prodigals coming back, and my checking on another missing missed person... Think of it like ben and Asteroid Lil and lil stopping in, and if Dmitri had been missing for 10 months with no contact with anyone--nothing onsite (including personal messages), texts and emails not returned, nada.

(Personalities/personas not remotely alike, but I tried to think of folks with roughly the same impact/level of ubiquity before leaving.)

Well, the you-equivalent is still AWOL, but I know her husband on FB (she's not on there) and he let us know that she is still having a rough recovery from the car accident 10 months ago. He's not known for being the best message-passer-along-er, so the roughness could be physical, mental, or both...
