A new billboard in LA shows a naked statue of Trump wearing a clown mask
LOS ANGELES (Circa)--Those driving in Los Angeles may notice a new, yet striking billboard.
The activist group "In-Decline" installed a billboard showing a statue of President Trump naked and wearing a clown mask. It reads, "A clown can get away with murder," a reference to serial killer John Wayne Gacy whose clown costumes became infamously associated with his crimes. In a statement, In-Decline said Trump's own remark during a campaign rally that he could get away with murder was relevant to the sign's message.
According to the activist group, the message also represents the loss of American core values in the politics, and the dangers of unconditional devotion among his base.

They are a resistance collective.
I am very very happy that millions of people can see their work via the internet as well as the areas they have used for things like this billboard.
Wanted to share this summary, I think it is so cool, what they are doing.
Indecline has staged a series of anti-Trump projects since the 2016 presidential election, including
1. the naked statues of Trump that appeared in five major cities in the US shortly ahead of the election,
2. the Trump graveyard at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey
3. the Trump prison cell that was installed at the Trump International Hotel and Tower in New York earlier this year.
4.The group has also tackled gun culture, recently altering a billboard in Las Vegas that advertised the deal shoot a .50-caliber only $29 to shoot a school kid only $29.
