IF IMITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY...

















(Ed.s Note: We don't usually toot our horn, but in this case, what the hell, why not? About a week ago, Feb. 8 to be exact, we posted a photo of the defaced art work that students created on the walls of the old Capitol Theater (photo at right). We wondered if anyone was paying attention to what was happening downtown, and we'll be darned if they weren't. The editors and photogs of the Brownsville Holler were! Now, on today's front page, the same picture that was sent to us is featured on a story about the vandalism to the students' work. Hopefully, it will inspire the Powers That Be to nab the vandals and someone to restore the artwork. Hope springs eternal.)

I'll tell you why not, my friend. It was on February 3rd, five days before you, that I posted two photos of the defaced murals on the Bronsbil Estacion Facebook page with caption: "When you can't have nice things because you live within a culture of envy. Almost ALL the murals painted on the Capitol Theater were defaced recently. I hope they catch the phucker but I doubt they will." We don't toot our horns Juan. We just post whatever comes to mind or hand. On January 28th while I was at the Half Moon Saloon enjoying the Bizarre Bazarre Vintage Days fashion show the organizer, artist Andrea Stover, told me about the vandalism and I later went out there and saw for myself and reported it on Facebook. That's how we do. Here's an idea. If our city offered a simple $50 reward and put the word out on the street we might find out who's been tooting their horn about how much attention their "NY" handiwork has gotten thus incriminating themselves.

your pathetic bro

Its the same picture because its the same story and its not like there can be 200 different angles to take that picture.

If being better than the herald is what you aspire to, thats not saying much either.

Just a few assholes who destroy. They get their power from their stupid initials on the paintings. What gutless assholes that destroy but are cowards who don't take credit for their work. Just more Snowflakes in our society.

Anonymous at 2:27. If you will be posting comments putting someone down, at least use the correct words. "Your pathetic brother ? "

If your going to correct someone don't fuck up - why the "?" ?

Haha! You still haven't figured out the difference between "your" and "you're." Sad.

That's grammatically correct, actually. He quoted him but with an interrogative tone, meaning he's incredulous as to how idiotic and lacking in self awareness the writer, who should be charged with murder of the English language, is.
