I hope they don't get to carried away with punishing this kid. It seems like the city really has a lot of work to do in terms of cleaning up this whole environment. Punishing one kid for doing something stupid will not really change anything. Of course you probably shouldn't tag a bus the mayor and his media entourage are traveling on for their tour to show off the new campus bus stop.

On Monday, Brewer, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other officials trumpeted a new tactic to ease the fears: locating a bus stop directly behind the school so students don't have to navigate through a gang-plagued neighborhood.

But just as officials were applauding their accomplishment, they got a fresh perspective on campus security problems when their bus got tagged.

While the crowded Metro bus carrying Brewer, Villaraigosa and a crowd of journalists was stopped at Washington Boulevard and Maple Avenue, an unidentified youth believed to be a Santee student dashed up and scrawled graffiti on a side window.
