Gray Ghost of New Orleans (anti-graffiti artist responsible for ruining some Banksy art) finally busted for painting over the wrong mural. (w/ video)

[Editor comment: Every city and county needs a graffiti ordinance that REQUIRES private property owners to abate graffiti. Citizens working with local anti-graffiti programs should NEVER go on to private property to abate graffiti unless they are abating graffiti under an ordinance or they have permission from the property owner. If the property owner in this case later accepted the vandalism because the picture was pretty and there is no ordinance the graffiti fighter really has no standing. This is a scenario that should not happen in a community with an ordinance and a well designed graffiti removal program.This is a very sad story because some members of this community is still in denial.]
