Man takes sledgehammer to Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

I wonder how many people would be imagining themselves taking a sledge hammer to Donald's wall if it ever came to pass.
 
"Shill-aries" are just as stupid as "Deplorables". I'm shocked.


Lol, someone is going to get some work. Actually, can they just not replace it and take it away? Can that even happen? Just curious.

Yeah I wonder if there's a point where it's not worth it for them to keep fixing it. Like say it's destroyed every week from here on out, would they say fuck it and get rid of it?

They're more likely to just move it down the street outside of the areas that people usually congregate.

Well yeah, somebody had to pay. But it wasn't the Donald:

idk after dark the tourists and most of the spangers are gone. Maybe it's because I live in the area but I'd rather be there at midnight when it's largely people out drinking than midday flooded with tourists

That fan's name? John Miller
 
I dislike that sentient cheeseball as much as the next person, but actions like this just make his nutcase supporters feel more victimized and vindicated.

Fuck them and fuck their feelings. They're bad people. I don't got space in my life to worry about the feelings of some bigoted racists/bigoted racist's supporters.

I feel this thread is just heading in the "be nice to Trump and his supporters" direction.

The guy didn't hurt anyone. He took out his frustration on a star. He never threatened anyone. He didn't tell them to get out of the country. He didn't even call them rapists or criminals.

Some of you want others to tip toe around Trump and his racist platform. Sorry, it deserves to be called out at every point possible.
GAF hates most forms of protests, vandalism being among the most vilified.

Eh...it's not being wrecked simply because it's in a central area. If they were to move it to a different place of the walk people would still seek it out. The WoF isn't even that huge to begin with.

It would be kinda funny if they moved his star off the walk entirely, gave him a private berth waaaaaay east

I don't know a local who goes anywhere near there except when they have out of town guests. Place is terrible.

Hollywood Blvd in a nutshell is like:

How do you feel about weirdos dressed as cartoon mascots of super heroes charging you money to take pictures with them or being charged out the ass for cheap shit. That place is a tourist trap and nothing but.

The man does not know this star, does not remember this star and would have no interest in this star. This is just another attempt by the Trump campaign to defame a Clinton supporter. And hey, it's not like that star hasn't been hit before.

I appreciated the humor of the "muted" stencil but just smashing it is lazy and dumb.

It's a dump but it's some of the best people watching outside of Venice Beach.
 
Can't say I agree with someone just going out and destroying the sidewalk because it has this cunt's name on it. Show some decorum.

Be sure to buy dudes' mix tapes when you're out there. It's hot fire.

If they catch the man I hope he gets a jury trial. I'd award the state $1+1 hour if I was the judge.

It's a crime as it should be, but I'd go as light on the person responsible as possible while still finding him guilty.

If Trump wants to pursue him for damages personally then fine, but it isn't worth his lawyer's fees to do so.

Goddamn people are salty over Donald Trump.

Just give it two weeks and you won't have to hear from him ever again.

Yeeeeaaaahh...no. He's going to sue everyone in sight, bitch and moan, and it will never stop.

So it's pretty much the West Coast's Times Square?

That's not how that works...Every star is paid for by the artist who deems him/herself worthy of one. Donald had to petition, pay, and likely bribe the city to get that star..."awarded" is not how I would describe it's existence.

The city also does them itself. Lots of deceased legends on their after they passed, without much lobbying or payola.
 
LA resident here, Hollywood Walk of Fame gets vandalized all fucking day. They'll probably replace it eventually.

Haven't seen someone physically destroy a star though, that's a new one.

Someone scratched RAPIST into Cosby's star a few years back iirc. Deep enough they had to resand it

It's worth noting that the Walk of Fame is maintained by the chamber of commerce iirc. You see city workers out there fixing them all the time.

Surely they should have removed Cosby's star?!

Trump’s star on the Walk of Fame was awarded to him in 2007, recognizing his work on NBC series The Apprentice.
That's a generous statement. He paid to have it put there, like everyone else.
