In the next clip of our exclusive interview with Fox 11 investigative reporter Chris Blatchford, the journalist reflects on the wild phenomenon of bus mobbing, when packs of graffiti writers swarmed city buses to leave their marks. Blatchford, who received a special award from the RTD (Rapid Transit District) for his investigative coverage, describes the relentless wave of vandalism and the tense atmosphere it created.


The conversation takes a darker turn as Blatchford examines the repercussions graffiti vandals faced in the 1990s. He discusses the steep penalties that often landed young taggers behind bars, sharing his thoughts on whether such sentences, sometimes alongside convicted murderers, were proportionate to the crime.
