Fresh gang graffiti on Madison Avenue
Gang graffiti has been on the rise all over Plainfield. The MS13 graffiti above was recently painted on a wall on Madison Avenue near the NJT overpass that is under reconstruction.
Maria recently noted an outbreak by a different group in the Evergreen School area (see here).
What is troubling about this particular instance above is that the street wall forms the retaining wall for the Bilingual Day Care Center's parking lot and playground area around the corner.

I used to see this all the time in southern California. I recall it's a sign of disrespect, or a challenge, to "X" out another gangs "tag" and replace it with your own.
I cannot tell you the anger I feel about having this kind of garbage in our great city. Martin Hellwig has proven to be a great asset in getting crime under control in this city. My bet is that he will be able to do something about the gangs.
It is every citizen's responsibility to attend the Public Safety meeting this week to find out what we can collectively do as a city. Make it impossible for these fools to conduct business and they are out of here! Dan, can you please post the Public Safety meeting time, date and location?
