Tagger tagged for tagging Mayor's bus

Not everyone who does something stupid is employed enough to be fired for it. This kid in LA goes by 'Zoner' and he really zoned out when it came to picking a bus to tag...
A 15-year-old sophomore at the Santee Education Complex in South L.A. was arrested late Tuesday on suspicion of being the student who scrawled his nickname on the outside window of a city bus carrying Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Schools Supt. David L. Brewer, among others. Santee Principal Vince Carbino, who was also on the bus Monday, said he believed the youth had no idea that dignitaries were aboard - but looked stunned, hid his face and stopped his tagging when he saw a photographer on the bus taking his picture.The Times has a great picture of this asshat in action, right in mid-tag. The principal thinks El Zoner needs help with his achievement issues. Mayor Antonio can't say out loud he'd like the kid to get seven kinds of crap kicked out of him, but he did suggest El Zoner should get a hundred hours of scrubbing tags off other buses.
Mayor Antonio and the collection of suckups and reporters were on the bus to open a new bus stop that would keep kiddies from having to walk through some of south LA's more interesting territory. The bus got a block away from the bus stop, and El Zoner stepped up to do his thing.
Smile for the camera.
