I was quite saddened to hear about street artist Revok’s recent arrested at LAX, but one especially intriguing  piece of information that came to light was the $320,000 bail figure that they set for him. In case you are wondering what makes this shocking when compared to other recent L.A. area cases, please check out the info that I compiled below.  ALL of the cases below occured in the past 2 months.

Here’s what it boils down to… you can sedate and rape a patient, videotape boys in the restroom, molest children, put a bounty on your daughter’s boyfriend, carry a machete in public, commit a hate crime, rape a female, or leave your baby in a car that is 115 degrees, and, in the eyes of the law, still get away with a slap on the wrist when compared to spray painting a wall. As you can see below, all of these repulsive crimes have a bail amount that is about a THIRD as much as Revok’s.

I am curious to see how this plays out, especially in light of the upcoming MOCA show and the police state that LA has created surrounding street art.  My suspicions are that it’s not going to be any better.
