"I like mr Jenkins work it does provoke thought about society in general and that particular location specifically but I have one question; Did Mr Jenkins notify local authorities that he was putting up such emotionally charged work so that tax dollars, euros, pesos, etc weren't wasted responding to murder scenes that were really art?"

"Wow!!!!I have seen some of this works, but never had the chance to know who made them!Congratulations! very creative!!!!!"
