Graffiti Grouse- Death to the Shitter

No, this has nothing to do with India, but the graffiti depicted on the walls here is certainly not an unfamiliar site for people travelling through India, especially when you enter a city by train during morning hours: tons of  squatters are sitting near the tracks doing their morning "business". Some face the tracks to watch the trains go by while doing you-know-what ,others prefer to show the window gawkers their back side. Not always amusing.
Well, but this story takes place in Bremen, Northern Germany, witnessed by yours truly this summer when I noticed some interesting wall decorations throughout one of the quarters called the Ostertor. Suddenly I put one heap of crap next to another, and figured out what was going on. See for yourselves:

Someone had started the "Shitting"

Someone did not like this pile of crap everywhere

Fantasies of stabbing the shitter spring up

Alas, it's obvious:
the shitter must die.
SHOOT!
So you see, there are many a tale in a city. Call it urban creativity or mental decay, I call it a damn good crap!
