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

I know that they are paid for by the 'star' themselves (or from someone who will on their behalf) but I didn't realise they offer it to anyone. Donald's presence in showbiz has mostly consisted of hosting a single reality tv show. I guess that's sufficient?

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.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce isn't part of any government, why do city workers work on the walk of fame?

I dunno if destruction of public property is something you should be condoning.

"Nominees must have a minimum of five years' experience in the category for which they are nominated and a history of "charitable contributions""
So Donald shouldn't have one in the first place.

I live in a predominately black and brown city in the Carolinas and someone thought it would be a great idea to put a large "Trump / Pence" sign at a busy intersection. I saw the sign going up on my way home for lunch and on my way back to work, I saw it laying on the ground torn in half, haha

Cathartic yes, but I stop short of condoning illegal activity.
But he donates to all the best charities.

Can't say I'm heartbroken about this, I feel bad for the guy that has to fix it though.

Nope. This shouldn't happen. I say this as someone who actually likes Hillary Clinton and loathes the entire republican party. This is vandalism, directed at a symbol, which is only tangentially related to the current race. There's no way for the Hollywood walk of fame committee to anticipate the future of every star they place there.
Eh, it's a public sidewalk and likely the city is responsible for general maintenance, not to say they're gonna fix a busted star, looks like the chamber of commerce or some other private entity puts up donations for actual repairs. Anyway, just meant to say that I don't think the star themselves puts out for formal repairs if something like this happens beyond their initial contribution.
You actually had me curious and it looks like they have the answer on the page for it.
Nah doesn't seem like it. I think the city would only get involved if it was a public hazard.

Hopefully they replace the damage with another actor and remove Trump from the walk permanently.

If Bill Cosby's star wasn't removed, I can't imagine why Donald Trump's would be.
Should be replaced with Billy Bush.

He better have voted early. Why does it say "the attack" in the OP? Who did he attack?
What kind of message does that send? You want somebody removed from the walk of fame? Just destroy it with a sledgehammer!

Seems like a smart thing to do. I am sure that it will bring a prompt end to Hollywood Walk of Fame vandalization.

Oh man someone should paint a purple heart on the star afterwards.

You leave Peter out of this. We know who really did it.
I don't know, Sledge Hammer seems more of a Trump supporter.

Technically it's correct, but I know what you mean.
He is more of a Clint Eastwood supporter.

Look at these hoodlums destroying this statue of Saddam. That thing cost money you know. People need to respect public infrastructure.

People destroy things not because they are allowed to but because it sends a message.
This star is paid for by Donald Trump, including its annual upkeep. Donald Trump will probably also have to pay to replace it now, unless vandalism of this sort is covered under the insurance, so this kind of protest is just about the only kind that Donald Trump actually understands.
Having said all that, it's still a crime and shouldn't happen.
I'm proud he did it.
Apprentice is cool and this destruction of property but I feel the defacement has been earned.
Even though I'm still concerned about Clinton's emails I'm getting angry with the thought that Donald won't be touched to see if his borderline illegal activities have crossed a line because the election is in progress.
He deserves a lot of scrutiny he isn't getting enough of so this is sufficient for now.

Horrible example. To allow the Trump star vandalization would create a bad standard going into the future. Trump will probably lose the election, but the right populism movement is not dead. I guarantee you that they will win elections in the future, just like they have here in the EU. Please don't give them the idea that it is okay to cleanse society of what they hate outside the parameters of the law.
A tiny bit exaggerating here.

The message that you don't agree with their politics or beliefs, right? So exactly what he said?

Well to be accurate the right already cleanse society of what they hate.

I think it costs something like $30,000 to get a star so there could be a legal issue to changing it to someone else, or removing it. I'm not too sure what the agreement is though.

it's privately owned and maintained but we're probably on the hook for this bullshit anyway.
i saw good for this guy. hopefully he just gets fine or something. this doesn't deserve jail time.
