A group of environmental activists pulled off a daring act of defiance at one of President Trump’s premier golf courses early Sunday morning.
The group — which labels itself an “anonymous environmental activist collective” — snuck into Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., and carved a message into the green with six-foot-tall letters that said: “NO MORE TIGERS. NO MORE WOODS.”
The 18-hole, 7,300-yard course is set among cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean just south of Los Angeles. Last year, Golf Digest ranked it the 43rd best course in California.
In a statement sent to The Washington Post, the group said the vandalism was carried out in response to the Trump administration’s “blatant disregard” for the environment. “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 statement said.

'The group consisted of four people, who accessed the course by scaling a fence and “walking down a steep hill laced with cacti,” the group member told The Post. “Tearing up the golf course felt justified in many ways,” the member said. “Repurposing what was once a beautiful stretch of land into a playground for the privileged is an environmental crime in its own right.”
There are places around I can’t afford to go. So what?
I hope those than can afford to go there have a great time.
Jealousy? What is it good for? Nuthin!
*snooping*
I guess “daring act of defiance” is what they call childish vandalism these days.
“We must destroy the environment to save it.”
They need to be found and jailed. Defacing private property is a crime
Sounds more like "Trespassing", "Vandalism", and "Destruction of Private Property" to me.
“pulled off a daring act of defiance”
Perfect example of how insane libtards are. Criminal activities are ‘defiance’.
The oh-so-self-righteous morons who tore up the golf course didn't hurt anyone except its owner(s). In the process, they made themselves look small, petty, and downright mean. Keep at it Leftists. You're hurting your own ideology more than you know.
So the econut was angry and attacked nature.
Sounds like a group of racists to me. They certainly didn’t denounce any white players, did they?
Throw them in with a black prison gang and tell the career criminals that they are a bunch of white racists, and enjoy the show.
Leave it to the Post to leave out the fact that this is most likely a serious felony, not “defiance”. Golf greens are very expensive to build and maintain.
Lock ‘em up.
Two words; childish and futile.
This is not going to inspire many people to join your organization. Anarchists already know how to destroy other folks property without pretending to do it for nature’s benefit. I really hope this golf course identifies and prosecutes these people.
This reminds me of the dumb, destructive actions from groups like “Earth First” or PETA.
Some such groups sneak into a Mink or Chinchilla ranch at night, at open all the cages. These sheltered animals usually end up run over by cars, or eaten by larger animals before the week is out.
environmental crime in its own right.”
So is a seven iron to the right temple....with a slight fade to the left
That sounded raciss!
I wonder if these people live in a gated community which is mostly white and well to do. You know those gated communities which clear hundreds of acres and then have liberals move into them whilst they harp on about the environment. Hypocrites.
First thing I noticed too. Attacking a black golpher.
NO MORE TIGERS. NO MORE WOODS
Sounds more like they hope a certain golfer continues to have back problems.
Dear Environmental Activists:
YOU KILLED GRASS!!!
YOU FILTHY MURDERERS!!!
Love and kisses!
