ROCKLAND (Aug 23, 07): One has to be appalled at the outbreak of graffiti in Camden and Rockland. The attack on the historic Breakwater Lighthouse in Rockland was particularly upsetting. The Breakwater is Rockland’s icon and has stood guard over the harbor for over 100 years, protecting those at sea. It is the first impression for those entering our harbor from Penobscot Bay.
It was great to see that an alleged loser has been arrested for defacing property in Camden. We can only hope that the ignorant little felons who attacked the lighthouse left their own initials in place to help the police pin charges on them.
I just don’t get it. What’s the big deal about writing on a public place? Are the perpetrators so pathetic that the act is the only way that they can gain any attention for themselves?
Right now the Camden and Rockland police departments are working together to solve the crimes. Let’s hope the judge throws the book at them. –H-
