President Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed Wednesday morning by a man with a pickax that witnesses say he carried in a guitar case, police said.

Officers were called around 3:30 a.m. to the star's location on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue, where they found a small pile of rubble in place of the star that Trump received in January 2007 for his role in the NBC show "The Apprentice."

A detailed description of the star-smashing suspect was not immediately available.

This is at least the second time Trump's star has been vandalized in the last two years. In October 2016, a man dressed as a construction worker smashed the star with a pickax and sledgehammer. James Otis pleaded no contest to felony vandalism in February 2017 and was sentenced to three years probation, 20 days of community service and agreed to pay $4,400 for the damage.

1. Awesome! That's the right way to do it

[LuckyCharms]

2. I'm not saying I condone this type of thing, but...

[Cha]

5. Why you

laughing then? lol

[LuckyCharms]

11. I'm not sure! I can't, I can't...

help it!

[NurseJackie]

16. Ooph!

[marble falls]

6. This is the exception to the rule. I hope there's another exception as soon as it's replaced.

[elmac]

26. I think this is just the beginning

and will be expanded to other false fascist Gods, like Reagan monument's. The revolution will have many aspects.

[Cha]

3. Oh shucks

Guess there's people in California who feel the way I do out here in Hawaii

[marble falls]

9. and 48 other states whose names I do not recall. Hey cha!

[Cha]

13. Aloha, marble falls!

Yeah, we're all over the country.. Puerto Rico, too!

[marble falls]

29. Thats why we're going to win. But we have to go at it as if we're going to lose...

hammer and tongs, full speed ahead. We don't need to beat them, we need to trounce them in a totally gob clogging, undeniable, argument stifling way. We can do it.

[CatMor]

4. I don't condone vandalism but I can't help myself for enjoying this immensely

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. I don't really care.

Do u?

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

56. Ahhhhhh

I see what you did there...And I like it. hahahahaha.
How does that stupid show garner a star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame? He probably called the Director...said he was someone else...and connived himself a spot. They should remove it altogether...for safety.

[dalton99a]

8. A moral and righteous act

[hlthe2b]

10. All I'm going to say is that I'm glad I live nowhere near the "Walk of Fame" so that

I'm not tempted.

One might wonder, however, if there is a "go fund me" drive for this "vandal" who clearly was driven beyond his moral limits...?

[GopherGal]

62. Maybe a Legal Defense Fund? (nfm)

[CincyDem]

12. Eventually, he'll have to put a 24/7 Secret Service detail on it. lolol n/t

[dalton99a]

14. He'll declare it a national monument

[greymattermom]

20. Then he will have to fund

national monuments, right?

[Cha]

15. lol.. hope this is the least

worst thing that happens to him today. his big "star" in Hollywood is Smashed to Smithereens!

[ck4829]

17. Nice

[Wounded Bear]

18. I guess the wall didn't work...

?quality=85&strip=all&w=770&strip=all

[dalton99a]

19. Make it 55 ft

[pazzyanne]

42. Thanks for the memory, and your special take on the wall, Wounded Bear!

[MineralMan]

21. That person can plead the 1st Amendment - Freedom of Expression.

It won't work, but that's what I'd do. "It was a political statement, Your Honor."

24. Great job!

[catrose]

38. NOW it should be declared a national monument

[Mc Mike]

23. Celluloid heroes never feel any pain..

[johnp3907]

41. Nice one!

[Paladin]

25. Good. (nt)

[edbermac]

27. Totally disagree with that action.

Should be used as a dog potty area instead.

[Funtatlaguy]

34. Damn good dog.

[Doodley]

28. I looked at that hole, and thought where's the shit?

[RedSpartan]

30. Not all heroes wear capes.

[WillowTree]

31. The responses here make me sad.

Democrats condone.......and even cheer.......vandalism. Not a good look for progressives, but it seems to be the "in thing" these days.

[catbyte]

36. When babies are kidnapped and put in prisons, when the earth is being poisoned again,

when our allies are now our enemies and our enemies are now our friends, when our President lies to us and is setting us up to delegitimize the midterm elections, when American workers are being betrayed daily, when the courts are being stacked with pro-pollution, pro-corporation, anti-people judges, when magnificent wildlife are once again allowed to be killed from helicopters and cubs & pups murdered in their dens, well something's gotta give. Forgive us for not being polite. These are NOT normal times. Not that I condone vandalism, but he conveyed his message without a single person being hurt. And I'll bet it got ol' Traitor Tot's attention.

This quote is more urgent and important with each day this horror show is in power:

[IMG][/IMG]

[WillowTree]

39. "Without a single person being hurt".......except whomever pays for the Walk of Fame.

Which isn't Donald Trump, by the way. Probably the taxpayers of Los Angeles.

[catbyte]

44. I'll bet some MAGAt will start a GoFundMe. Just wait. And I'll bet Trump didn't pay for the

original one. He probably scammed Trump Foundation donors into paying the $15K for it. "Stars" have to buy their own stars.

[SCVDem]

52. Stars are bought by fans.

I was one of many who donated to get The Three Stooges a star.

It's not a big deal.

[WillowTree]

53. But the fans don't maintain the walk.

Whatever. Apparently I'm now out of step with the Party because I don't condone the destruction of property as a form of protest.

What's next? Physical violence?

[LanternWaste]

60. If self-righteousness demands you conflate this action with the policies of the Democratic party,

...it will turn out that you in fact, are wholly inaccurate.

If on the other hand, you want to ascribe this action to one or two individuals, and realize that Trump is such a buffoonish clown that no one really gives a damn about his star, then you'll be getting closer and closer to reality.

Visceral, emotional satisfaction in regards to an action that is wholly benign is human nature. But I get it... so is self-righteous behavior.

What's next? Another logical fallacy designed to validate the speaker at the expense of everyone else?

[lunatica]

47. I agree with you

This shit about taking kid gloves to a gunfight with a monster who is literally destroying our country and who throws children into cages while he flies around to play golf on our money and makes himself richer is going to stop unless we want to lose this fight.

In this case the vandalism police should be shunned for their blind lack of perspective.

[Auggie]

37. I hear you. But it's the new U.S.A.

Hate is winning -- or at least has the edge -- over civility.

[treestar]

58. Making fun of him over it and condoning it can be

two separate things.

I agree the perpetrator did us no good - deplorables will just use it to make him a victim of "the left's" violence.

[catbyte]

32. Wow, he he was dedicated. I've always loved this meme:

[IMG][/IMG]

[lunatica]

48. Excellent question!

[aeromanKC]

33. National Urinal Monument

It's still going to be a National Urinal Monument in the future.

[Fritz Walter]

35. Why a pick ax?

A jackhammer wouldn’t fit into the guitar case.

[ProudLib72]

40. I disagree with the word "vandal"

I prefer "patriot".

Pickax Wielding Patriot Smashes Rump's Star

[yuiyoshida]

43. And they should keep smashing it until they can't afford

to replace it any longer!

[cstanleytech]

45. Personally I do not think Trump is worth the energy to do something like this

and it accomplishes nothing.
Instead people would be better off on getting other people out to vote him and the other Repugnants out of office and out of power.

[Martin Eden]

46. Oh Noes!

Isn't that uncivil??

[JustAnotherGen]

49. Oops!

[bluedigger]

50. It has my thoughts and prayers.

[Solly Mack]

51. Shit happens

[Grammy23]

54. Small pile of rubble, eh?

How fitting. My morning just got better imagining that as the logical destination for this despicable person. Small pile of rubble..... That can be his lasting monument.

[iluvtennis]

55. Love the protest.It's been vandalized many times since he started 2015 campaign - my favorite...

57. Imagine if this is what finally bursts that fatal aneurysm.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

59. That was THE stupidest show ever...and he bullied himself a Hollywood Star out of it.

Lots of extremely talented strs on that stretch...he's not one of them. Should be removed altogether...for safety. Maybe put it in Red Square in Moscow.

[MichMan]

61. Vandalism is so cool

I think our country would be a lot better if more people's things were vandalized on a regular basis.
