$250m Trump golf course vandalized
    2017-03-14  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    A BRAZEN group of environmentalists vandalized one of U.S. President Donald Trump’s golf courses over the weekend — and released a video of them doing the damage.

    The “anonymous environmental activist collective” snuck into the US$250 million Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California and carved the phrase “NO MORE TIGERS, NO MORE WOODS’ near the fifth hole’s green.

    The group said the act was a rebellion against the Trump administration’s “blatant disregard” for the environment.

    In a statement, the anonymous environmental group said, “In response to the president’s recent decision to gut our existing protection policies, direct action was conceived and executed on the green of his California golf course in the form of a simple message: NO MORE TIGERS. NO MORE WOODS.”

    The four members who undertook the vandalism broke in by hopping a fence and scaling a large hill riddled with cacti.

    They then carved the 1.8-meter-tall letters using garden tools to rip up the course’s green. A call was reported Sunday morning to the Los Angeles Police Department for their aid in characterizing the act as accidental, or as vandalism.

    The group confirmed that the act was very much intentional.

    “Tearing up the golf course felt justified in many ways,” one anonymous member of the group told The Washington Post.

    “Repurposing what was once a beautiful stretch of land into a playground for the privileged is an environmental crime in its own right.”

    The golf course was formerly farmland, and sits atop cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean just south of Los Angeles.
