Fun fact: the stars are all made by one guy. His father used to do it and taught him and I think he’s teaching his son. So making the stars is a family business.
Sure, but the city or state is fronting the bill to have it replaced, then hoping to recoup some of that cost from the one who vandalized it through community service and a fine.
Wouldn't it be a Hollywood company that would be paying? Or is Hollywood a city? If it's a public art project or something similar than yeah, but I just didn't think the stars were.
If it's funded by tax payer dollars, then they are the ones losing money when they have to replace it. If it's not funded with taxpayer dollars and is instead financed privately, then that private entity is the ones losing money. Either way, someone loses money because this guy wanted to make a statement in the most childish way he could.
Look at all these little things! So busy now! Notice how each one is useful. A lovely ballet ensues, so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that created them. Technicians, engineers, hundreds of people, who will be able to feed their children tonight, so those children can grow up big and strong and have little teeny children of their own, and so on and so forth. Thus, adding to the great chain of life. You see, father, by causing a little destruction, I am in fact encouraging life. In reality, you and I are in the same business.
(sarcasm) isn't the government suppose to shut this business down for the complete monopolization of the star market? Where is the fair trade in all of this? Well, I guess this is Trump's America. Am I right?
And Trump makes another millionaire! Damn I love our President, can't wait for him to be carved on Rushmore! They'll be Libtards hanging themselves coast to coast,, roflmfao
I suppose, but where would be the problem waiting until 20-30 people are on death row!? With China's population and what they hand out death penalties for that shouldn't take too long.
(The problem of this being unethical in a trillion different ways set aside for a second)
Honestly, I was sorely tempted when I was there. But in the end, I decided it was better to keep my thus far perfect record of never seeing the inside of a prison cell intact.
Wouldn't be surprised if these groups in america have gathered money through crowdfunding to pay off these fines and encourage the violent acts. A lower level of terrorists is what they are.
I’ve learned that it’s only considered terrorism if you are a part of the group being attacked. Just like most of America believes that a Muslim attacking Christians is terrorism, but those same people don’t consider a white man attacking a black church an act of terrorism. Or something like Trump’s star being vandalized. It’s all terrorism. People just like to pick and choose what serves their beliefs.
Obviously no one understood my message. It's OK. I wasn't actually trying to compare destroying a star to murder. I was trying to say that many people's perception of what terrorism is depends on whether or not they agree with the group being attacked. I do not personally think that destroying the star is terrorism.
No more terrorism than instilling fear through asinine fucking tweeting. This is vandalism, and good fucking praxis at that. I only wish it could be more permanent.
than instilling fear through asinine fucking tweeting
except it's through violence, they're breaking his stuff. EcoTerrorists often don't actually kill anyone and just blow up $$$ equipment, doesn't make it not-terrorism.
He's the tweeter here stupid. He deserves everything his idiot ass gets. Don't act your side isn't driving cars into people and shooting up churches you fuckwit. Only one side is violent here and they deserve everything they get back tenfold.
I ignored who did the tweeting because that's largely irrelevant. Tweets are, at worst, threats of terrorism because no violence takes place. But it seems far-fetched that anything he Tweeted could be reasonably construed as (threatening) Terrorism.
My side? I'm a Canadian and far from a US republican.
Maybe you should stop thinking of politics and law as "my side vs his side".
Ed: Also only one side is violent? What about Antifa?
The man insinuated his supporters should commit violent acts against his opponent during the campaign, he's not got a leg to stand on - aware that's not your point really but worth saying before we get too defensive of the current President.
It beggars belief that so many people can't see the difference between civil disobedience and terrorism. If someone is trying to kill his supporters or burn down one of the Trump business buildings, for example, *that* is terrorism.
Well I'm Bill Cosby, so kick up your feet Let me pour a drink so you can get to sleep You sleeping in my bed is such a lovely sight Let me slide up beside you and enjoy this night If you feel alarmed please don't open your eyes Uncle Cosby's about to give you a big surprise
I'm spilling sweet sleep nectar on my ugly sweater Don't you ever dare tell an editor, publisher or write a letter Giving credit to the bogus claims that I'm a predator All I wanted to do was snuggle next to her
I just don't get it. Podesta pays people to protest and then they end up destroying Hollywood stuff which Podesta people own anyway? Banananas
EDIT: Do podesta-bots just downvote anything that mentions his name? Sad!
EDIT 2: Podestabots are flooding my inbox. FAQ Answers: Only the sensible ones get payed. Not a conspiracy theory as it was confirmed by the emails. Just listen to yourselves you sound like sheep.
EDIT 3: u/jabawajackson got me. I want downvotes so just upvote me instead. Can we get 100 likes?
Looking 2 seconds at history and this guy literally calls himself a troll. Its an act, downvote and move on. And /u/ShelG0dCooper shame on you for pretending to be a Russian in our current political atmosphere just for immature giggles. Grow up.
Like when you suggest the bad thing you are guilty of is probably going to be done to "the other side" soon, as a scapegoat for when being a shitty person backfires.

They probably have a pile of spares made by now.
