Supporters of the Kony 2012 campaign took part in an event called “Cover the Night” this weekend, but it appears some of the participants took things too far.
Participants in the event had been encouraged to post signs and spread information about African war criminal Joseph Kony.
But at Green Lake, “Kony 2012” tags were spray painted on everything from buildings to signs, to the asphalt path.
The video that went viral, bringing lots of intention to the Kony 2012 campaign, has been viewed over 88 million times on YouTube.
Supporters of the anti-Kony movement are worried that the graffiti will turn people off from their cause.
The Seattle Parks Department reportedly plans to have the tagging cleaned up in a few days.
