A vehicle in President Donald Trump's motorcade was struck by a '2x4' - with five middle school students now facing charges, according to Florida authorities.
One middle school student admitted to hurling the object, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
The incident happened Friday around 1:45 p.m. in West Palm Beach.

Obama wants that 2x4 to use in an exhibit in the “museum,” part of his presidential library. The exhibit will be titled, ‘Things that were Thrown at Trump that were not Thrown at Me.’
“What a difference today when school kids were upset when Reagan was not killed.”
I sure don’t remember that one. I was a kid (grade school) when that happened and we were in shock! Then when the perp said he did it for Jodie Foster we were like “Wut”? only we did not use that word back just thought all that was freaking stupid. No one does that to impress a movie star that is not even that famous.
When a middle school student (13 years old) in Kentucky totaled two of our government owned vehicles, I wrote a letter to the judge asking for the following: (a) write a letter of apology to the President for destroying government property and (b) show up every Saturday for a year to help wash our vehicles.
I honestly didn’t believe any judge in a juvenile case would give my request a second thought, but she approved both of them. My hope was that spending part of a Saturday for a year in the company of Navy Sailors would help the young man living with his grandmother (missing father and junkie mother in prison) more than sending him to a detention facility.
And what happened?
He composed a very nice letter to the President and I sent it to the White House. Never received a response, but that wasn’t the point.
At the nine month point into his car-washing detail, as I was rotating out of that command, I spoke with our Petty Officer First Class in charge of that station. The young man had shown up every Saturday to that point (he lived a few hundred yards away). He was even bringing his younger brother with him; the guys would feed them lunch and spend a lot of time talking with them after washing the vehicles. I do not know if they joined the Navy, but would be surprised if they hadn’t. At any rate, I knew they had some of the best ‘father figures’ and mentors they could ever have hoped to have.
Awesome!
Very well done. You most likely kept him out of prison and very well saved that young man’s life.
This is a manipulation to instill validity to leftist argument.....it should be ignored...he should bring the kids to the white house and have a talk.....turn it around....imo.......Were was the reporting when real attempts were made?.....NONE....this is public mind bending news imo.
You’ve got to be carefully taught.....
Arrest the teacher who encouraged the lawlessness upon a teenager.
Amish?
The first thing these idiots are going to need is a change of underpants.
Hmm....other exhibits:
The shoe thrown at President GW Bush
Remains of egg thrown at former President Ford
We no longer have Juvy Reform schools, what few Juvy Prisons are reserved for rapist, killers, until they turn 18 and sent to adult prisons.
TN has 1 150 such juvy prison. Most are just given community (HA HA) service.
I didn’t know that. Community service should be for smoking pot or being caught with beer underage. Not for violent attacks.
Well, when he started bringing his younger brother with him, that tells it all.
You guys did a wonderful thing for him, no matter what happened afterwards.
‘The shoe thrown at President GW Bush’
I actually think Obama would do it if he could get away with it. In addition to the library, he’s planning a “museum,” dedicated to the wonderment of bring Obama. How on earth is he going to fill an entire museum? I guarantee he’d love to have a display captioned:
‘While other presidents had shoes—such as this one—hurled at them, I never did. This is because, frankly, I’m just a very amazing person.’
Both would be a likelihood.
Which would provide a first-class example of which side is civilized and which side is not.
Great point! Just don’t count on Obama figuring it out. In a world that’s all about him, he can only comprehend one reason why other presidents get attacked and he didn’t: his coolness coefficient is off the charts.
Drag the little bastards and their parents to the pokey, hold them for many hours, scare the hell out of them and make them very, very sorry.
