Somebody keeps scrawling graffiti on the rear side of the State House

An example of the graffiti. Via 311.

State Police report somebody tagged up the State House - and a private house at Mt. Vernon and Hancock streets - Saturday night.

Most of the tags consisted of words and random letters, except for the guard house, which had splashes of paint on it. ...

The investigation suggests that last night’s tagging was likely committed by the same suspect who tagged the State House, other buildings, and a car in the same area earlier this winter.

Boston's 311 system got several complaints about the tagging today, including from somebody who complained in particular about the scrawl on a building on Chestnut Street, a couple of blocks from the State House:

There is also graffiti on the State House, a house at the corner of Mt. Vernon and Hancock, the Fiedler Footbridge and a house on River Street.

Beacon hill is the Lexington of Boston neighborhoods oh geez graffiti, lets put it on the news. Let’s put every police investigator and waste tax paying dollars to find out who’s doing this. Meanwhile, more importantly 4 blocks away there are several homeless people sleeping on sidewalks in the dead of winter .

Repeated over and over. What could it possibly mean? Police are stumped.

Is this the level of security at the State House?

Sure, the state house was tarnished long before this but if a punk graffiti vandal can deface it at will, twice, what could a terrorist do?

Your law and order fascism is showing.

Is your comment a joke?

A terrorist could cause terror. That has nothing to do with the ability or inability to tag a building.

Thanks to Boston 311 - and the people who file complaints through it.

I'm against graffitti but at

I'm against graffitti but at least he picked a perfect location for class warfare to be declared. But most of the residents of Beacom Hill just step over the bodies of the homeless anyway so it's a waste of time. Money wins.

That tagger didn't declare class warfare

Weld and Romney did ... after Reagan started the national movement.

Back Before The Great Police Merger

When the state police absorbed all the little, special police departments such as the Capitol Police, they had their HQ right in said building. I wonder if there was less vandalism around the building then?
