Visual Art Call 911!
posted by June 26 at 12:34 PM
onYesterday at 1:54 pm a shocking transgression came across the Central District police scanner, a transgression that stood out from the run-of-the-mill deliberate hitting of construction workers with cars, aggressive behavior of Ezell’s employees, domestic violence, and burglary.
It was———unlicensed art dealing.
Caller says that a man is selling art without the proper license on the SE corner of the intersection. white male, 30s, blue jeans.
Can you help? Have you seen a white male in his 30s wearing blue jeans suspiciously, suspiciously hawking paintings since then?
(Thanks, Brian!)

Heavens to Murgatroid! Sadly, he'll probably be cited for Obstruction of Justice.
But have you seen the paintings? They may be sooooo lacking in taste and merit that the police are doing us a service.... but I doubt they're that bad
Central District News: Striking yet another blow for paranoid, vaguely racist gentrifiers everywhere.
"Next Up: Garage Sales: free-market entrepreneurship, or criminal menace?"
You joke but, I had a cop hassle me for a garage sale. He was nasty and belligerent. I got nasty right back and then something wonderful happened. All the people who were around me buying things just jumped in and told the cop to fuck off. Really. "Why don't you go chase a real criminal you asshole, instead of harassing citizens"
Perhaps we need an initiative making streetside art sales and garage sales the city's second-lowest law enforcement priority?
Can't say I've ever seen a cop harass that guy who deals his art on Broadway down by Noah's Bagels.
If it's trite and derivative, I hope they Taze him.
Wait, you need a license to sell your own paintings in this town? This city's government is like the mafia. Everyone has to pay a fee to do business. I just wish they could give us the same "protection" that is offered by the real mob.
I don't know much about crime, but I know what I like.
