[Mpls] Shoefiti

[Mark Wilde]

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.

"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.
