As expected, a GoFundMe account has been set up to bail Austin out.
Some people are finding humor in his star being smashed, with some suggesting he should have built a wall around it.

This isn’t the first time his star has been vandalized. James Lambert Otis was arrested in 2016, for the same offense.

I wonder when we will have a day where something unfortunate or funny that does not concern Donald Trump.
