Donald Trump's Walk of Fame star destroyed in Hollywood

A suspect has been arrested after the president’s star, the target of previous attacks, was demolished with a pickaxe



<snip>

"Donald Trump’s star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood has been destroyed.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the LAPD received a call from the man who allegedly took a pickaxe to the president’s spot on the strip in Los Angeles. Reports claim the suspect arrived with a guitar case before taking out the implement to destroy the star.

While he had fled the scene by the time officers arrived, he has since turned himself in and remains in police custody. A source claimed he would probably be charged with felony vandalism."

If they don't want this happening again and again.

It'd have to really big and tall too otherwise people might not see it and would trip over since in middle of sidewalk.

I think the symbolism of that ... would be kinda awesome, too ...

Hope all he gets is probation and some community service. He's a hero in my eyes.

And while families are separated, Trump doubles down on his inherent racism, the world laughs at the role of US leadership, and his base are considering what the next color is to remove from the US after brown becomes too rare, some idiot will state "this makes us look bad..." (let's allege a wise man will say it too... so the idiots don't feel lonely or the need to alert)
