There are a large number of these in The South Berkeley/North Oakland Temescal area. On Martin Luther King Jr. Way there are 10 foot metal letters on the border that say "HERE" and "THERE," respectively, which have been bombed. There's a cafe across the street whose trees and signposts are gussied up, and all around the area random verticals and trees have been forcefully cozied by these terrifying yarn bombs. I've even seen humans get bombed. (Gruesome) Better rig the elections, change the constitution, and create a new branch of police to take care of this code orange! (and yellow and blue and little diamond shapes, and this one has cute little zigzags...)<br>
