Donald Trump has a lot of people on his side if you look at the election proceedings in America right now, and that is downright terrifying. But it seems there are also a lot of people who do not like him, so much so that vandalising has become an option.
Donald Trump’s star on the ‘Walk Of Fame’ in Los Angeles, the famed sidewalk christened with the names of some of the greatest, has been vandalised with a sledgehammer and a pickaxe, allegedly by a construction worker.
An eye witness, Mr. Patten was walking down the lane when he saw the man do the deed.
“The man suddenly picked up the sledgehammer and started smashing the bejeezus out of the Trump star. Then he took the pickax and was trying to pry one of the points of the star. Shrapnel was flying everywhere.”
He said that there were about eight or nine people on the street at the time, and that the man’s attempt went on for approximately five minutes, after which he “made a quick retreat.”
When questioned, the accused told the LA Police that he wanted to auction the star and raise money on behalf of nearly a dozen women who have accused Mr. Trump of sexual assault or sexual harassment.
This is not the first case, though. Visitors may not have physically harmed the star, but have taken pictures like this one here.
This wall here with a mock picket fence and the American flag was created by a local artist named, Plastic Jesus on July 20.
Even though it might be ‘civil disobedience’ it is still an act of crime.
America is having a tough time, eh?
