This is really painful to watch. Stupidity like this saddens me. Hope they'll figure out how to catch these people or at least teach them a lesson.

Then here's something a little sadder: this guys are more or less considered heroes. I've never seen the video, but I've heard the story from a tourist guide, who made it clear that this was an awesome stunt that should be admired.

Then again, keep in mind that Berlin has a rather complicated story with Graffiti (the city owes a lot to its starving artists), so the Western point of view is not the only one to keep in consideration.

Well, I'm from the eastern bloc and we have (had?) similar problems in Poland. Though I doubt anyone here would glorify or even excuse these guys. Really thought vandalism is rare and less tolerated west of us.

This was quite bad and IMO it shows that they have some bigger problem that surveillance isn't going to solve.

The funny part is they are probably on the government dole.
