Guvante's reply is really important, because many people who are disagreeing with blisterpeanuts are none the less taking for granted that "he wasted valuable city resources" and so forth. And the point is, he didn't. He turned himself in. He was willing to accept standard no-trial sentencing. He paid a larger-than-typical fine to compensate the city for the expense of dealing with his graffiti.

The city wasted its own resources trying to teach this guy a lesson for disrespecting their authority.
