Summary

Donald Trump condemned a vandalism attack at his Scottish golf course by activists, calling the perpetrators “terrorists” and demanding they be “treated harshly.”

The March 8 incident at Trump Turnberry included red paint, anti-Trump graffiti, and messages like “Gaza is not 4 sale.”

Police charged a 33-year-old man and arrested two others. Palestine Action claimed responsibility, citing U.S. complicity in Gaza’s destruction.

Activists criticized the leaders for focusing on property damage while Gaza faces ongoing bombardment.

    You know, if you just want to help the environment of Trump’s golf courses, and also not be arrested for trespassing, seeds are really cheap. Especially hearty grasses.

      I feel like planting bamboo all over the place would be quite a nuisance. I’ve heard it’s extraordinarily hard to get rid of and grows very quickly.

        My understanding is that one can grow a different variety of grass, which will look different than the original grass, and so a message in contrasting grass colors can emerge over days and weeks. And thus convey a message, e.g. I once heard from a veteran that someone had walked across a parade field dropping seed, and making the letters Phi, Tau, Alpha, i.e. FTA or Fuck The Army, arise some time later. It’s labor intensive to remove it, once established.
