    LAPD investigating Donald Trump's Hollywood star vandalism

    You've got to watch the video at the link. This guy comes in like a construction worker, sets up barriers, starts demolishing it with a pick axe. People filming, the news interviewing him, nobody calling police. Crazy.

    (CNN)Los Angeles police are looking for the man who destroyed Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star with a sledgehammer and a pick ax.

    Police tweeted Wednesday that they're seeking the public's help in identifying the vandalism suspect.

    The man identified himself as James Otis, an heir to the Otis family's elevator fortune, in an interview with CNN on the Walk of Fame Wednesday morning. He said he was doing it to help the 11 women who have accused Trump of sexually assaulting them, and other victims who he said could come forward in the future.

    "I had four or five family members sexually assaulted, and I'm terribly upset that we have a presidential nominee who's become sort of a poster child of sexual violence," Otis said.

    CNN has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment and not yet gotten a response.

    Otis managed to remove the gold emblem from the middle of the star and damage the star itself and the area around it. The shape of the star was still recognizable after Otis had vandalized it...

    The best examples of this are when people are a bit too overzealous with their quoting of articles or they use your forums as a means to distribute audio or video clips (through a free file host, most likely). You don’t want your forums to be a cesspool of piracy.
    and..

    At the end of the day, treat people like you want to be treated. Do you want someone ripping all of the posts your members made and putting them on their forums? So, then why would you let your members rip other people off? It doesn’t make any sense. Well run, professional communities respect the rights of others because they want people to respect theirs.

    Yep, crazy...its basically a hate crime but in a liberal's mind, if you hate something you can disregard the law and do as you please.

    This guy is so horrified that 4 or 5 family members were assaulted and no one heard from HIM before now? Sell it and give the money to the women?

    Man Arrested for Smashing Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

    UPDATE: Otis was arrested Thursday. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce stated on Wednesday that it wants to see Otis prosecuted to the "full extent of the law."

    "When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark," stated the organization’s president, Leron Gubler. "Our democracy is based on respect for the law. People can make a difference by voting and not destroying public property."
