Overnight, A Patriot Took A Pick Axe To Donald Trump Monument

PHOTO: President Donald Trumps star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed early this morning, according to ABC affiliate KABC-TV.

In the dead of night, a true American resister destroyed Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame with a pick axe. 

Yes it's childish and unnecessary and even ineffectual, but that is the point.  It is a primitive symbolism of the fight of good vs. evil. 

And consider the humiliation Trump must feel as the world sees that his star is located on a nothing block in front of a Forever 21 clothing store that is usually found in run of the mill working class shopping malls.

I guess he's a big boy now!!!! The fact that you applaud this says more about you than the guy being an asshole. I would never think this was ok, no matter who was POTUS.

If I lived nearby I would have gone to the local dog park, collected some hearty dog turd samples, spray painted them gold then made a little crown of them around Trumps undeserved star.

So you believe in vandalism & destruction of property??

I wan't to know if this thug was punished?  I noticed that he was allowed to do it, considering this act went of for a while. Is this where Obama has left us? At the mercy of the thugs on the left and thugs in general?

Hi Ed.. Not to nit pick here, but trumps EPA has been rolling back protections for public property since he took office. So trump "star" took a beating, that's nothing compared to the beating the environment is taking because trump could care less. Just sayin' man, hope you are well.

Not arguing about Trump's EPA fiasco, but that still does not excuse what said individual did which was wanton destruction of a public sidewalk no matter whose name was on that star. Either way, that person deserves to be punished under the law accordingly. A good evening to you Sir.

Not a patriot, just a vandal.  And he should receive punsihment for vadalizing public property.  You don't get a free pass to break the law and destroy property becuase you don't like someone.  Anyone thinking that is aceptable should publish their address so people disagreeing with them can come and destroy their property.  When one condones breaking the law, at what level does breaking the law become unnacceptable?

It is symbolic, a form of demeaning and ridiculing Trump in a venue Trump is likely proud of, his inclusion among the "greats" of the show business industry. I'm glad the person who did it destroyed it beyond repair (although I'm sure they will replace it with a new one) because trump's presidency is beyond repair.

No one was hurt and the guy will answer in court for what he did. I don't see any problem with it.

The rodeo clown was acting as a representative of the rodeo, it occurred during a public performance of the show. 

A rodeo is not Saturday Night Live, it is not a satiric venue. 

If you want to defend Trump, fine, you are not alone. I think if people protest a travesty, which is what this presidency is, they deserve more credit than blame. If you want to believe that a rodeo clown trying to humiliate the president in a show with no connection to political satire is appropriate, that is your choice.

Actually Bugsy a rodeo clown has a very important job in the rodeo, he's there to distract the bulls to keep them from killing or, injuring their riders. I know the thing that you are talking about and, it was a totally RW disrespect of Obama and, yes, I would have a problem with it, if they did the same thing with Trump.

A rodeo clown is not a satiric venue? WTF?  It is a clown.  

So I guess you are against Snoop Dog for this right?

Snoop Dogg says, “This is the final call,” before pointing a gun to the head of a cigarette-puffing clown dressed as Trump. After pulling the trigger, a “bang” flag shoots out from the music star's gun. “The whole world is clownin’ around,” Snoop Dogg told Billboard in an interview about the video published Sunday, saying, “If you really look at some of these motherf--kers, they are clowns.”

And against this rodeo clown dressed as Bush?

A dummy with a George Bush mask stood beside the clown, propped up by a broomstick. … T.J. Hawkins rolled out the big inner tube, and the bull lowered his head, shot forward and launched into the tube, sending it bounding down the center of the arena. The crowd cheered. Then the bull saw the George Bush dummy. He tore into it, sending the rubber mask flying halfway across the sand as he turned toward the fence,

Oh and that rodeo clown you are against for wearing an Obama mask. Seems that other former president masks were worn as well.

The rodeo clown whose controversial routine mocking President Barack Obama got him banned for life from the Missouri State Fair said in his first televised interview Monday he'd mocked other presidents in the past during his act. "I didn't think anything more of it than what we've done 15 years ago, ten years ago, five years ago, when we've done it with Bush, Clinton and Ronald Reagan," Tuffy Gessling told CNN Kansas City affiliate KCTV.

Asked whether he was a Republican or Democrat, Gessling said simply, "I'm a rodeo clown."

Oh the faux outrage from the left. Seems it only makes a difference if a D appears behind a politicians name for it to be taboo.

At least you are honest that you would feel the same about a Trump mask.

I don't like Trump but, that doesn't mean that I think things like this are right. Yes, fly a blimp when he's in town showing him as being a baby with a cell phone but, to destroy public property just to "get back at him" or, disrespect him or, anyone in his position at something like the rodeo? No, that in my opinion is going too far, you want to show how you feel, then vote or, protest peacefully or, both.

If a clown that works for a major league baseball team jumped up on the dugout and started dancing around with a big Donald Trump mask on, yes, I would be against that because it is "announcing" that that team was making a political statement and that is not appropriate, if it is Trump, Obama or Bush. The rodeo did it because they made the probably correct assumption that a rodeo in Oklahoma didnt have a lot of Obama fans in attendance. 

I disagree with your take on the Hollywood star. It is an individual act of protest by a private citizen. As long as he is ready to face the consequences in court I respect his reason for doing it.

A criminal became another one of the Left's heroes for destroying property they did not like.  They've been doing this for decades.  There's nothing new here.  Same old anarchists looking for Utopia by destroying other people's property.

Jewish homes, hospitals, and schools were ransacked, as the attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. [4] The rioters destroyed 267 synagogues throughout Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland, [5] and over 7,000 Jewish businesses were either destroyed or damaged.

Nothing has changed except the date. 

Meanwhile in the sane world ......

Trump, EU agree to work on lowering tariffs, averting a potential trade war

  • President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that he had secured concessions from Europe, averting a potential trade war.
  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average popped Wednesday afternoon, rising more than half a percent on the news.
  • The Europeans agreed to lower industrial tariffs and import more U.S. soybeans.

I don't support any violence from antifa, vandalism to Trumps star, MS13 or any other undocumented immigrants yet you would likely consider me on the "left". Weird how your tired false narrative is so far from the truth. I'd have no problem with the bit of littering though. Dropping some dog turds on Trumps star would be a fitting tribute to the turd sandwich currently occupying the office with no corners.

. The Walk of Fame is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and maintained by the self-financing Hollywood Historic Trust. It is a popular tourist destination, with a reported 10 million visitors in 2003.

Acts of vandalism occur on the Walk on a regular basis, ranging from profanity and political statements written on stars with markers to attempted removal of brass emblems with chisels. [114] Closed circuit surveillance cameras have been installed on the stretch of Hollywood Boulevard between La Brea Avenue and Vine Street in an effort to discourage mischievous activities. [115]

Four of the stars, which weigh about 300 pounds (140 kg) each, have been stolen from the Walk of Fame.

President Donald Trump's star—received as host of The Apprentice television series—was repeatedly defaced during the 2016 presidential campaign. [119] [120] [121] In late October, near the end of the race, a man named Jamie Otis (who claimed to be an heir to the Otis Elevator fortune) used a sledge hammer and a pickaxe to destroy all of the star's brass inlays. He readily admitted to the vandalism, which he described as "civil disobedience" and "freedom of expression", and told reporters that he originally planned to remove the entire star and auction it to raise money for the women who accused Trump of sexually assaulting them. [122] Otis was arrested three weeks after the incident, charged with one count of felony vandalism, [123] and sentenced to three years' probation plus $3400 in restitution payments. [124] The star itself was repaired, serving as the site of pro-Trump demonstrations [125] until it was destroyed a second time in July 2018 by a man named Austin Clay. [126] Clay later surrendered himself to the police and was bailed out by James Otis. [127] [128]

that much is true enough...

just one problem with the rest of your theory. as usual, ya have it backward. good people do not destroy others property.   god is not on your side here or hillary would have won.   hint: "cain was not an able pick" hillary is a satanist.

NEWSFLASH:                 God is a conservative and the demon- crats are destined to lose.  bigly

of course you will not agree. so you have fun with your version and I will have fun with mine.

the face of evil will be exposed soon enough and you are going to be very surprised.

we will pray for you.
