The man who smashed Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a pickax was just bailed out by the man who smashed the star years ago.

James Otis, who destroyed Trump’s star with a pickax in 2016, paid the $20,000 bail for Austin Clay, who destroyed Trump’s star with a pickax on Wednesday, according to TMZ.

The gossip site reports that Otis, who ultimately pleaded no contest to felony vandalism and was sentenced to three years probation, “plans to meet Clay in person,” though whether it’s to congratulate him or make sure he shows up to his court date remains to be seen.

Clay gave himself up willingly after demolishing Trump’s star early Wednesday, the Los Angeles Police told the Los Angeles Times, and turned himself in at the Beverly Hills police headquarters.

8. It's California, and this one can vote if he's cut loose with probation

In California, individuals convicted of a felony are ineligible to vote while incarcerated and on parole. Voting rights are automatically restored upon completion of parole, and people on probation can vote. Ex-offenders should re-register to vote.

A whole bunch of ex-felons can vote, but a lot of states makes it real difficult by throwing up bureaucratic obstacles making it next to impossible to be reinstated. California is an easy one, it's automatic.

11. Your concern is dug in pretty deep on this one, but yes.. they can vote.

In California, voting rights are automatically restored upon completion of parole, and people on probation can vote.
