The race for the White House took an ugly turn in Hollister Wednesday when J.W. Paine and his family woke up to their two cars’ windows smashed-in, home covered in eggs, and Donald Trump campaign signs stolen. Paine found his American flag burned in his front yard. The vandal or vandals took the flag down from the flagpole to burn it. Commitment 2016: Complete coverage “That’s just disgusting right there for anybody to disrespect the flag that people died for,” Paine said. Paine refers to himself as an outspoken Trump supporter. He spends each Friday afternoon standing outside of a Safeway store in Hollister with a Trump sign. He also proudly displays signs in his front yard. Though he has strong beliefs, Paine said he has respect for Clinton supporters and wishes people would respect his political opinions. “None of my signs say hateful things, they just say vote for Trump and I feel that is my right to say vote for Trump,” Paine said. Even just down the street from Paine, one of his neighbors has an anti-Trump sign in her front yard, but Paine said that though he and his neighbor clearly disagree, they can still be friends and that’s the way it should be. “If someone went after her sign, I would actually stop them because that’s not right,” Paine said. Police do not have any suspects in the case. Though it’s unnerving for Paine to be targeted multiple times, Paine said he plans to keep his signs up until Election Day. Police investigate destruction of Trump’s Hollywood star LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles police are investigating a pre-dawn attack that destroyed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame less than two weeks before the election. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which bestows the stars and maintains the popular tourist attraction, said it would quickly repair Trump’s spot, but it would take several days before it would visible. Det. Meghan Aguilar said investigators were called to the scene Wednesday following reports that the presidential candidate’s star was struck by blows from a hammer. A sledgehammer, construction hat and vest, and a pick were recovered nearby, Officer Sal Ramirez said. A man who identified himself as Jamie Otis said he’s responsible for the damage, telling the website Deadline Hollywood that he originally intended to remove Trump’s star. He says he wanted to auction it off to raise funds for the 11 women accusing the presidential candidate of groping them. Trump has denied the groping allegations.Trump’s star was dedicated in 2007 in recognition of his work on NBC’s reality TV show "The Apprentice." Trump’s star is near the Dolby Theatre, where the Academy Awards are held each year. To receive a star on the Walk of Fame, a celebrity has to be nominated and a $30,000 fee paid to a charitable trust. It is at least the second time this year that Trump’s star has been targeted. In July, an artist installed a miniature wall topped with razor wire and "keep out" signs in response to Trump’s vow to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to stem illegal immigration and drug smuggling. "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," Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Leron Gubler wrote in a statement. "Our democracy is based on respect for the law. People can make a difference by voting and not destroying public property."
