Trump Star Vandal Charged With Felony, Could Face Three Years In Prison
http://conservativefighters.org/news/tru...in-prison/
Quote:Austin Clay, who identified himself as the man who took a pickaxe to Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star, was arraigned Monday in Los Angeles County Court — and discovered precisely how much his “resistance” could end up costing him.
The L.A. County district attorney, TMZ reports, has charged Clay with felony vandalism, and, if convicted, Clay could face a maximum of three years in prison for destroying Trump’s star in an act of protest.
Clay probably won’t object to the charges, though he may try to enter a plea bargain. If convicted, Clay isn’t likely to serve the full three year term, but L.A. County courts are notoriously unpredictable.
Clay was caught on video taking a massive pickaxe to Trump’s star, completely destroying the marble-look memorial and bending Trump’s gilded moniker.

I hope he spends some time in prison for the crime he committed. It should dissuade more people from using vandalism for political purposes.

Two thoughts.....
1) Destroying property IS NOT an "act of protest", it's a criminal offense. It's high time the left and their MSM bootlickers come to grips with this.
2) I bet he'll be popular in prison. Can just imagine the conversations in the yard. Hey, what ya in for? Murder, armed robbery? Nope, I destroyed Trump's star on the walk of fame.
Wonder how much "street cred" that will get him....

Wow. If I tried to profile the guy it would've described this exactly.
The threat of jail time sometimes causes you to examine your life. I hope he gets some things figured out.

I hope a judge makes him pay for repairing the damage and gives him some alone time in a cell.

Unless he gets a jury of 12 cops and retired military, he’ll never get convicted in LA.
