Anthony Seminerio wants to give the bad guys a spanking

Members of the NYC council are notorious for being complete idiots.  Come and learn why.  Corrupt Queens Councilman Anthony Seminerio, known for pocketing half a million dollars in bribes, has proposed punishing young people who graffiti by spanking them with a paddle. I have professors who can deconstruct the sexual aspect of this...um...fetish-BDSM-legislation much better than I can, so I will just skip it and say briefly that graffiti is not just some pesky criminal act done by gangs, but it reflects the anger of young people at a nauseating class disparity which occurs along racial lines. This class disparity is apparent in NYC as the differences between affluent areas and impoverished areas are vast, and are only becoming worse due to NYC's gentrification. 
Sometimes I graffiti too. I add a little zest to an expolitative advertisement by pointing out its sexism or racism.
But of course Seminerio won't bother with any of that thought-stuff. He'll just be glad to paddle down a Black or Latino boy (let's not pretend this matter doesn't occur along racial or gender lines), degrade his "little" attempt at resistence, and while everyone's distracted by it he'll just be pocketing some more bribes.
