"The story is this: One person wrote a name to show he was there. Another
person was threatened enough by the declaration of existence that he
painted over his name. The splotch of paint that covers the name becomes
a tag itself. It sits on the wall and testifies to the presence of two
people. One person is a so-called criminal, one person is a so-called
activist, and both are equal in their need to be recognized. One person
has fame but faces jail; one person gets support and accolades from the
community but wants fame. The wall could care less about either of
them; It just gets fatter with paint."
