LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man who smashed Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been sentenced to three years’ probation after pleading no contest to a felony count of vandalism.
City News Service reports a judge also sentenced Austin Mikel Clay on Wednesday to attend psychological counseling and pay more than $9,400 to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. He must also perform community service.
Clay took a pickax to Trump’s star on Hollywood Boulevard in July. The star recognizes Trump for his work on the TV show “The Apprentice.” It was quickly repaired.
After he pleaded not guilty in August, Clay told reporters the vandalism was a “rightful and just act.” He said he wanted to “bring about positive political change” and didn’t believe prosecutors should have charged him.
Seems like a steep penalty for doing something everyone else might like to do. Wonder what Dumps penalty with be for ruining the United States of America?
Rather like illegal voting: consequences only if you’re a Dem (or anti-R).
However, pissing on it would have been just as good, and maybe better.
Does Dotard even realize that his so-called star is in front of a Chinese theater?
Maybe the guy with the ax was just imposing another tariff?
Where’s his go-fund me page? I’ll gladly send a few bucks to help cover his fine.
Meanwhile, it’s the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce that needs the shrink, not Clay, for not removing the dotard’s star. If they want, they could replace it with a black hole.
I think time spent on community service should include time he spent chopping up Trump’s star.
