A tagger who has the nerve to tag a police station is more likely to be involved in violence than a fairly educated 17 year old adolescent who codes. Why is this not reasonably fair to say? I don't understand.

We're talking about tagging a police station. That's a direct affront to the authority that (arguably) establishes a respectable degree of order and attempts to ensure peace (lack of violence). A person who expresses contempt or animosity towards those who (in general) attempt to ensure peace seems to be a person that would perpetrate violence...right?

Why is this wrong? (I'll just throw in a little something to tell you I have an idea of what I'm talking about). I grew up in the projects where undercover police would ride around in taxi cabs and basically sit like homeless people near subway entrances. This is a very tense environment, and I've seen many people arrested with a fair amount of force by the police. I also saw the remains of numerous gunfights a few times while coming home from school. Now imagine tagging a police station in this kind of environment. It's quite a task isn't it? Certainly a person who spends their time coding could be considered less violent prone, right?
