UFC fighter Jeff Monson has been charged with first-degree malicious mischief for defacing the Capitol building in Olympia, Wash. Now under normal circumstances when someone tags a building one would normally not get caught. Usually done at night with no witnesses right? Well the story goes that ESPN was covering Monson when he decided to go and tag the Capitol building with an Anarchist symbol and took pictures of him committing the act. Not only did ESPN take pictures of the crime, they ran them in their magazine. So guess what? Monson is now on the hook for a maximum penalty of $20,000 fine and 10 years in prison. Here is the kicker, Monson could care less. Monson is not only an actively outspoken Anarchist but has a Master's degree in Psychology. So the question is why right? Why would you put yourself in this position? It seems as Monson is using this to bring his cause to the forefront of discussion. Without publicity many causes go unheard and unrecognized. Well Monson I hope it all works out for you. It's not like he will lose his job or anything. With Rampage driving on sidewalks during a high speed chase and him still having a place in the UFC, Monson's malicious mischief should be nothing to worry about.
