A Mystery Vigilante Paints Dog Waste-It really is a Crime Scene

There is a vigilante dog-waste graffiti painter on the Upper East Side, according to a new YouTube video put up by Stan O’Connor, a local tour guide. The vigilante is apparently going around after hours spray-painting dog droppings that are being left on the sidewalk, apparently in violation of New York’s strict scooper laws.

After the dog waste is finally removed, the bright rings of orange and green spray paint remain, reminding passers-by of what used to be there. Mr. O’Connor’s video takes viewers on a tour of the colorful splotches.

They are oddly reminiscent of the chalk body outlines from homicides — only more blob-shaped.
