GREENPOINT — When he was 14 years old, David “Chino” Villorente spray-painted his name on the A and C train in his neighborhood of Clinton Hill.
He said he was doing what all the other kids were doing in Brooklyn in the early ‘80s. They scrawled their names on train cars, tunnels and buildings, committing minor crimes to show the world they had a voice.
