In light of the series of rape allegations against Bill Cosby, a person or persons wrote the word "RAPIST" all over his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
This scarlet letter of sorts can easily be removed. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce addressed the defacing in a statement:
"The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an institution celebrating the positive contributions of the inductees. When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways then to vandalize a California State landmark. The star is being cleaned up at this time."

DISCUSSION
When the first two comments on the post are about white men who are also accused rapists or child molesters but who don't receive this same vitriol or treatment, it really makes me take a second and think.
