The giatfiti was UP IT

Detective hell Saxon, who is
well-versed in translating
drug gang graffiti What
that sa\s to me is that it was
In .1 member of the Wood
land Park Bloods (Portland
gang) who wants to kill a
t Tip."
The "1H7" represents the
California penal code tor
homicide. Saxon said
Although drug gang gial
till often is imitated by peo
ple who are familiar with
the slang but aren't involved
in gangs. Saxon said the
Douglass graftili was "the
real thing."
The l hiiversilv should ho
more concerned with while
supremac ist gangs Brown
said.
"I've seen more skinheads
in the Kilgene area causing
problems than am other
gang people." he s.iid
"And thev |EPD) are not
even keeping a file on
them "
White supremacist graffiti
has boon appearing around
the University lor months,
Saxon said, and it's become
so widespread "that we gist
can't keep up on it now
Hut ding gang messages
are a threatening new addi
tion to the problem, he said.
"The graffiti isn't new.
he said. "It’s the amount
and the messages that’s
new."
The possibility that stu
dents wrote the Douglass
graffiti can't he dismissed
because some drug gang
members are college age.
Saxon said. However, he
sairl most University stu
dents are older than the av
erage gang member
"In the Northwest it's the
kids under 18 who especial
ly do the violent crimes." he
said. "They know the pidir i
al system and they know not
much w ill happen to them. "
It s also unlikelv students
are gang members because
gangs usually don't spend
their money on college, said
Portland Police Department
public information olticer
Dave Simpson
' I think it s t.nr to say tliat
is gang graffiti." tie said
However, it's almost iui
|iossilil(' to determine if the
graffiti was written liv stu
dents or visitors, said OPS

er.
