"The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an institution celebrating the positive contributions of the inductees," Leron Gubler, president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement. "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. Our democracy is based on respect for the law. People can make a difference by voting and not by destroying public property."



The Chamber of Commerce promised the star would be repaired immediately, but the process took several days before it can be viewed by the public.
