You guys push your luck across the river, but mark my words, those bastards are going to force you out across much longer bridges and much wider rivers. Some of you already bailed back in '95, but there could be another round coming.. those local groups aren't just sing for no reason.
So, what did we "fuckers" even do to provoke you?? We didn't spray-paint anything against the city.. we didn't even cross the bridge.. we were just talking about our club in our own damn neighborhood!!

Whatever gets you through the night... Honestly, at least you sound like the Black Knights. 😁
But man, who would have thought that offensive chanting would become such a massive problem for one young, underdeveloped intellect? 🤦
May the devil take you all—the rival crews, the Black Knights, and every other hater responsible for dragging us down to this level. 🧐

The graffiti near the tower should have stayed untouched—everyone knows that caves aren't about orientation, so the armada's stunt, which I’m not exactly defending here, wasn't surprising so much as it was inevitable.

That tag on Kačjak Street really shouldn't have been messed with, especially since it sits right at the entrance to Upper Neighborhood, the one true home of the San Francisco Giants fans—the group that started this whole thing just for kicks over 22 years ago.
Of course, the GV crowd has way more San Francisco supporters, and they’ve got that beautiful piece of graffiti by the new south entrance to the district; honestly, the contrast between them and Upper Neighborhood is spot on.

The fuckers really need to chill out with trying to push Sušak as its own separate city, while the armada needs to accept that the Giants fans have every right to leave their mark in Upper Neighborhood and around Krimēja.
Why don't the Giants fans and the armada just grab a beer together and hash some things out?

Lower Neighborhood used to be a stronghold for the Black Knights back in the day, but I'm assuming they've mostly disbanded or just scaled things back significantly??

Most of you guys are just talking out of your asses here, probably because you already can't stand the armada anyway... As far as I can tell, the San Francisco Giants have maybe ten pieces of graffiti, and besides those two, none of the others are even covered in it. But people are totally blowing this out of proportion. It’s obvious someone was personally offended that some art showed up near the biggest shopping mall (over by the San Francisco caves!)—one of the busiest spots in the whole city—or on the main road heading into town from the Suburban town, or right near the Vežica Neighborhood elementary school (we're talking a 30-meter mural here!)...

Even in that eastern part of the city, most people are die-hard San Francisco fans, including plenty of armada members who've been traveling to games for years. We all know what graffiti is for, and honestly, I’m dying to know what you lot of uptight city snobs or whatever group you belong to would do if the Black Knights slapped a 30-meter mural right outside Trešnjevka Elementary School, plus another ten smaller ones nearby... Or if the Los Angeles Raiders fans tagged somewhere. From what I've seen, there's more LA Raiders fans out there than San Francisco Giants fans... Would you really sit there and spit on their effort and passion? 🙂

Graffiti isn't a conspiracy, period.

If it bothers you, then go stop it instead of trying to "fix" things this way... Thank God we have people like you in Seattle who could’ve warned us earlier about how things work here, who actually runs the city, and what the rules are. 🙂

Drew Hernandez8 said:That graffiti by the tower should've stayed untouched. Everyone knows caves have nothing to do with cardinal directions, so what the armada did—even if I'm not defending it—isn't surprising, just predictable.

The street art over on Kačjak was off-limits too, yet they went ahead and tagged the entrance to the upper neighborhood, which is the ONLY true RF territory, where the crew started just for kicks 22 years ago.
Of course, GV has way more fans from the city, who have that one awesome piece of graffiti near the new south entrance to the area, and honestly, the contrast with the upper neighborhood is perfect.

The fuckers seriously need to chill with pushing the Sušak district as its own separate city, and the armada needs to accept that RF has every right to tag the upper neighborhood and the area around Krimeja.
Why don't RF and the armada just grab a beer and hash some things out?

Lower neighborhood used to be the stronghold for the local fan club, but I guess they eventually fizzled out or just scaled way back??

I'm with you. From what I hear from more reliable sources, their whole crowd has shrunk down to just a couple of cars or maybe a single van at most.

Some really great chats going on during this summer break☕. Next up, we’ve got the New York Red Bulls—a bit of a 🙂 little struggle, but then hopefully a jump straight into a win. If we actually pull off the championship, I swear I’ll go out and paint some murals for the boys after those vandals wiped out their graffiti.
Let's pivot to something a bit more serious now😉

We'll see about that once the Red Devils decide to spray their first bit of graffiti somewhere in Miami.😉

You’ve really managed to turn a molehill into a mountain here... honestly, maybe focus on your own business and let us handle ours. It seems much easier to sit back, comment on everyone else's issues, and pretend you have all the answers—though, if I’re being honest, most of you would probably act exactly the same way if you were in my shoes. ;GET A LIFE.

As far as I can tell, the RF guys have maybe ten pieces of graffiti, and besides those two, none of them are covered up. But some people are exaggerating; clearly, someone from our side was bothered by the fact that graffiti was done near the biggest shopping mall (right by the Seattle cave!) and one of the busiest spots in town, then on the access road to Seattle in the suburbs, and right near the local elementary school in the Vežica neighborhood (a 30-meter piece!?)...

Even in that eastern part of Seattle, we have a massive majority that supports HNK Rijeka, including plenty of armada members who have traveled to games for years. We all know what graffiti is for, and I’m genuinely curious: what would you lot—you urban moralists or people from your little groups—do if the WA crew put up a 30-meter piece like this near the local elementary school, plus ten smaller ones around? Or if the fan club did a piece somewhere? As far as I know, there are more fan club members out there than RF HNK Rijeka fans... Would you actually spit on their effort and passion?🙂

That graffiti didn't even last two days at that playground.
And just for your information, out of all those ten smaller pieces you’re talking about, only two are still fully legible. Coincidence?
Just so the fakers don't accidentally claim members based on those few scraps 🙄
And even if that 30-meter piece had stayed up, who would it have bothered at this playground, which is basically the home turf for where the fakers originated? I’d bet anything that there are more active RF members at that damn playground today than there are armada members.
And after all this, I hope all those armada guys who were telling fakers and Orient sympathizers around the neighborhood not to touch the "loyal upper Vežica" piece—spinning tales about unwritten rules on the scene, codes, blah blah blah—can reflect. They claimed the armada DOESN'T TOUCH anything belonging to the fakers, which is why RF wouldn't even dream of touching theirs. Period. Even though not everyone was thrilled that this new armada piece appeared at the exact location the RF guys had planned, the Red Fuckers accepted it because the armada got to the wall first, respecting that damn "code." So, the question is: did the armada members actually respect it too?

Just wait until those same Red Devils start coming for Miami. Once they do, there’s going to be hell to pay. Honestly, this whole thing probably only stays civil because the Miami crest is sitting right next to the other one.

As far as I know, that graffiti has been overused for ages.

The armada is actually pretty solid, with maybe 500 core members. If they were truly strong, they wouldn't be acting so insecurely toward the fan group like that. I guess claiming the district is its own separate city is a bit silly. Personally, I'm from the district and I prefer it over the east side—it feels more objective, nicer, and cleaner since I grew up here—but that doesn't mean I don't love all of Seattle, where I went to school and did my studies.

Wonder boy. ☕
So, let me ask you this—is this area actually busy? It looks like some sort of rundown neighborhood to me, but then again, I don't want to jump the gun and be too quick to judge.

I mean, we wouldn't want some fakers to accidentally pick members from those few scraps, right? 🙄
Even if that 30-foot piece had stayed up, who would care on this playground about where the fakers came from? I'd bet anything there are more active Red Sox members on that block today than there are in the Navy.
And after all this, maybe all those Navy guys should take a look at themselves. They were the ones telling fakers and Orient sympathizers around the neighborhood not to touch the "loyal Upper West Side" tag, preaching all this stuff about unwritten rules and scene codes, claiming the Navy DOESN'T TOUCH anything belonging to the fakers, which is why the Red Sox didn't even think about messing with their stuff. Period. Even though they weren't exactly thrilled when this new Navy piece showed up exactly where the Red Sox had planned to go, the Navy boys accepted it because they got to the wall first, respecting that damn code. But did the Navy actually follow their own rules?

Don't post if you don't know what you're talking about. That 30-foot mural by the school wasn't scrubbed by the Navy kids; it was removed because the school staff said the content wasn't appropriate for a spot where kids play every single day. They wiped out the Red Sox stuff, but the emblem is still sitting there to this day. Those tags near the daycare on the main road, over in Vojak, or at G.V.—they've been there forever and nobody touches them.

Prešarat was done with that nonsense a long time ago... but honestly, the main thing was just making sure Armada got the lesson they deserved. 👎
