Man who vandalized Trump's Walk of Fame star bailed out by person who did it years ago: report
The Hill ^ | July 25, 2018

Posted on 07/25/2018 4:08:37 PM PDT by SMGFan

The man who used a pickaxe to vandalize President Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week will reportedly be bailed out by a man who vandalized the star years ago. Los Angeles Police said that Austin Clay claimed responsibility for vandalizing Trump's star early Wednesday and turned himself in at the Beverly Hills police headquarters later in the day. Clay had called police right after damaging the plaque, according to The Los Angeles Times.

Lt. Karen Leong of the Los Angeles Police Department's Hollywood Division told the local paper that Clay “called police and advised he had vandalized Donald Trump’s star and basically called on himself and said, ‘See you soon.’”

Clay was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism for the incident and was being held on $20,000 bail. Shortly after Clay’s arrest, however, James Otis – who previously vandalized the star with a sledgehammer and pickax days before the November 2016 election – was reportedly working to bail Clay out, according to TMZ.

And the walk of fame will rush out and fix it. The petty little tantrums are just hilarious. Best part will be when the judge makes the miscreant pay for the repairs. Congrats, you just bought Trump a new star.

I’m surprised he wasn’t just released on his personal recognizance. This is California, some lib anti-Trump Judge will give him a high five, reduce the charge the bare minimum possible and give him a couple hours of “community service” which he will “work” off participating in anti-Trump protests.

Add this to the list of disturbing events which can turn people against the liberals/leftists.

So many things have happened which are disturbing, but can only help Republicans.

The kids at the border thing backfired on the media.
The alleged disaster of Helsinki fell flat.
Sarah Sanders getting kicked out of a restaurant.
Maxine Waters urging good liberals everywhere to hassle Republicans and Trump administration officials.

The kid who got his maga hat stolen and a drink thrown on him.

Democrats calling for abolishing ICE.

The obscene White House correspondents dinner.
Nancy Pelosi saying we got crumbs from.the tax bill.
The idiot climbing the Statue of Liberty, claiming to be going high because Michelle Obama said we go high.

Just all this stuff going on, is a critical mass of events, which make the Democrats , socialists, leftist types appear unhinged and out of control.

Critical numbers of people don’t follow every nuance of politics and the news everyday. But they are seeing all this crap going on, and none if it is going to influence any moderate or undecided voters to vote for Democrats, because they are going to fix things in this country.

Nonsense. The California judge will rule that damaging Trump's star is protected free speech under the first Amendment.

As you already know, it’s more than “appear”. They are what they are: Whacky, insurrectionist, destructive and dangerous.

If they have video surveillance it would be funny to do a voiceover as if observing it... “It looks like some drooling idiot has found a pickaxe. He seems to have a some kind of brain damage...”

There some of the most repugnant and repulsive people with “stars” on the walk of fame. These POS don’t care about citizen Trump’s past, they are insane over the President Trump.

He’s probably an unemployed actor, and this will give him immediate visibility and street cred.

Some enterprising person should lease a storefront where people, for a fee, are let into a room where they can punch, beat, kick, etc. a likeness of Donald Trump. In other rooms, you can pay to do the same to George W. Bush, Barack Obama or Bill and Hillary Clinton. Stress that you’re non-partison and the purpose is therapuetic.

You could make a mint.

“You could make a mint.”

Good idea. I’m starting a business which sells telescoping aluminum straws to the city of Santa Barbara. You can buy your very own straw and bring it with you. It will be on a keychain with the words “suck it” written.
