It's clear that these people knew what they were doing. I was in
America last week and there was an accident where two 17 year olds
were killed on motorcycles, having been drinking and street
racing. I was quite surprised to see that the media and even
friends blamed them for their stupidity. Rather than saying 'Poor
lads' or 'it was a tragic accident' or blamed someone else (the bike
manufacturers or something), they were quite clear - a stupid
'accident' that wouldn't have happened if they hadn't been
idiots.

That is quite different: by drinking and street racing, they were
risking others, whereas the graffiti artists weren't endangering
anyone's life.

You mean graffiti vandals. I've just complained to the BBC for their
use of "artists" on their website.
