Two years into the Trump administration, aggrieved activists are not only accosting Cabinet members or driving them out of restaurants -- they're increasingly taking out their frustration on inanimate objects.
A burst of anti-Trump vandalism against possessions and property associated with administration officials is the latest flare-up in a “resistance” that has taken many forms.
Last year, protesters marked the anniversary of President Trump's election by screaming at the sky. Lately, the tactics have become more confrontational, touching off a national debate over civility in politics.
But smashing and spray-painting are yet another outlet. Here are some of the items that have been the focus of anti-Trump activists’ rage.
Trump’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Trump’s star on the Walk of Fame has been subjected to repeat acts of vandalism, with one protester going so far as to smash it with a pick ax last month.
Brawls have since broken out at the spot after crowds of Trump supporters and protesters gathered near the contentious marker.
But this isn’t the first time the star has been under assault. Back in 2016, before Trump was elected, the star was defaced by a vandal who scratched off his name and a TV icon. The vandal told TMZ he was doing it so that the removed parts could be auctioned for the legal defense of Trump accusers....

The cure is prison time.
Right, so every time a fan runs out onto a stadium field, it should now be headlined.
Wouldn’t want to discourage them from doing it again, would we, Big Media?
Prosecute as a “Hate Crime.”
They claim that property destruction is “free speech,” and that they should be allowed to do it unfettered.
Thanks, Baltimore.
“The cure is prison time.”
And /or a wood shampoo.
Love trumps hate. Except when it doesn’t.
>>The cure is prison time.<<
The cure is Texas’ “stand your ground” law in action in all jurisdictions.
A few vandals’ carcasses would make it clear we are a nation of laws.
Yep. Wait’ll the R’s win in November.
If you don’t carry in your car yet, you should.
Per Wiki
A hate crime (also known as a bias-motivated crime or bias crime[1]) is a prejudice-motivated crime which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership (or perceived membership) in a certain social group or race.
Or a dose of buckshot.
That could be, um, fun...
-—hey’re increasingly taking out their frustration on inanimate objects.-—
I’ll be looking forward to the day when then come after the deplorables. Surprise!
>>>I’ll be looking forward to the day when then come after the deplorables<<<
They already have and still do.
When the day comes that one of us Deplorable types defends themselves with Lethal Force, the DNC Media will insure the Victim will become the next Trayvon. Bank on it.
“...The cure is Texas’ “stand your ground” law in action in all jurisdictions.

Exactly. The faggy little snowflakes are gonna keep it up till one, or a few of em, gets their head completely blown off by a .45 or .44mag
Then, they’ll all be crying for the little crazy-eyed Hoggster to implement “gun control”.
They got it coming to em and bad. Just a matter of time.
Or weatherman underground.
The repercussions don’t have to be lethal to be effective.
Plenty of ways to make someone, or some group, pay the price for their shenanigans without using deadly force.
But I agree with what you said - if anyone does use lethal force, regardless of how justified, big media will do the travvon thing for sure.
I put a small Trump magnetic sign on the rear of my car and someone keyed my bumper so I removed it.
Sorry for what happened, but the purpose of a magnetic sign is to remove it when you are not in your car, nicht wahr?
