An artist has placed a coffin on former President Donald Trump’s Walk of Fame star to protest opposition to mask mandates and vaccines.
The life-size white coffin was created by “Plastic Jesus” a Los Angeles-based activist and street artist. His website describes him as specializing in “bold stencil and installation work, inspired by world news events, society, the urban environment, culture and politics.”

A video of the coffin was posted to the British-born artist’s Instagram account with the caption “today’s street installation: The USA Freedom Box – my body my choice. Hollywood Blvd 10/07/2021. All the freedom you will ever need!” He also included a variety of COVID-19 related hashtags.
In an interview with the artist posted to Twitter by reporter Eric Levai, “Plastic Jesus” said that “it’s really kind of a blow at the people saying vaccines and masks are impeding their freedoms.”
“Once you’re dead and you’re in a coffin, you don’t have any worries about losing freedoms.”

“I wanted to do something because the anti-mask, anti-vaccine, anti-science mob has become so vocal,” the activist and artist said.
The artist also erected a six-inch tall border wall around the star in 2016 during the election season.

Right, because at least the UK is somewhat honest. Not like here where they lie about everything.
And die at higher numbers in UK
So the argument is its better to be a living slave than a dead free man?
Um, did anyone tell this moron that vaccinated people still get sick from covid and die?
Guess not.
I would call that “littering”.
The irony is so thick, that my brain breaks trying to cut it.
Someone should tell him to watch a pre Holocaust documentary. Because if you give up freedom you also get that box. I would much rather die on my feet of my own volution than be forced to death by the government
“You’re freedoms will lead you to death!!!” So be it. At least I don’t have a boot in my mouth.
Pretty sure trump gets booed at his events when he talks about the vax.
Oddly enough, it was Trump that pushed the “vaccine” out to the world. Weird.
This one gets a chuckle out of me, well played!
Typical Comolefty behavior…First they give him a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. Now, that he doesn’t go along with the Blue Indoctrinated Cult they want to hunt him down and kill him…figuratively of course. Don’t Fear the Reaper…I don’t. My chances are better with the virus than with Authoritarians. They always want to control and it is always for “my own (and others) good”. At least the virus doesn’t appear to be one thing… when in reality it IS another.
British born artist? Stopped caring about their opinions in 1776.
