It is just as likely that they are not gang related. How is it possible to prove correlation between gang graffitti and shoes on the line and anything else? It isn't because they are not related. Other people have tried to link graffitti to crime on this list, but I am just not buying it. Now you are saying that the bad scary criminal is coming here from Los Angeles and he is bringing his shoes? This is starting to sound like a fairy tale you are making up as you go along. You continue to make this assumption without any proof and after you have seen evidence of hundreds of other theories as to why those shoes are up there.
Mark Wilde Windom Park "I still don't have any solid evidence explaining why the shoes appear on lines, but still consider it highly likely they signify some kind of nefarious activity in problematic neighborhoods of the city. The officer in the FOX 9 News report - after stating that Shoefiti is somewhat comical mentioned that shoes are used to mark gang territory in Los Angeles. Wouldn't it make sense for gang members moving here from L.A. to bring their tactics with them? The shoefiti along E Lake St. between I-35W and Cedar certainly seems to correlate with gang graffiti in the area." Removing shoefiti one pair at a time. - Ed Kohler Shoeless in Cooper __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
