The attack on the Mosaic Man is appalling. Of course, the whole thing started when one of the morons started peeing on the sidewalk. And every weekend it seems as if more and more of these meatheads show up in the EV...

I don't know, the crack head scumbags from the early 90's peeing on the sidewalks, and the 2009 frat house 'bags doing it, pretty much the same crap to me minus the vials of crack and used heroin needles.

Urine smells like urine.

Wow. Frat dinks attacked the mosaic man? It seems to be a dissonant echo of what happened during the first Woodstock versus Woodstock 94. One group understands what the deal is and the later group only hooks into the most base/destructive aspects of the thing that "inspired" them.

Sick and sad.
