A minor believed to be participating in a protest against ICE was hit by a car on Monday afternoon.

According to the West Palm Beach Police Department, at about 12:30 p.m., officers responded to a pedestrian vs. vehicle crash near the South Wind Plaza on N. Military Trail.

Video shows the minor lying on the ground with police and fire personnel surrounding him and rendering aid.

Police say the minor was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver remained at the scene of the crash.

The minor being struck by a vehicle comes as hundreds of students from at least four Palm Beach County high schools took to the streets in coordinated protest against ICE. The schools involved were reported to be Lake Worth Beach High School, John I. Leonard High School, Royal Palm Beach High School, and Palm Beach Lakes High School.

Isn’t Florida one of the states that allows drivers to run over idiots blocking their pathway, especially if the driver feels threatened?

“Police say the minor was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.”

Today the little twerp became a Republican! *SMIRK*

“...hundreds of students from at least four Palm Beach County high schools took to the streets in coordinated protest against ICE.”

In a just world, ALL of those Principals should be FIRED!

Let’s see how the MSM spins this one. It doesn’t appear that the driver of the car can be characterized as pro-ICE or “far right.” This was just an accident. But if they say that, it will point out that these protest organizers and the schools that allow it are recklessly putting kids at risk for Dem political causes.

BREAKING: Idaho authorities say a stolen ambulance loaded with gas cans was driven into a DHS office in an alleged attempted arson attack targeting ICE personnel.

Police say it was intentional, not an accident.

The communists took over the college students and now they are coming for the high school students.

If you have children in public schools, start looking for a way to get them out. It will be worth it.

The driver remained at the scene of the crash.

Since he was not pulled out of the car and beaten to death, we can assume the victim was not...never mind.

Bill the school's insurance. It was a sponsored event.

They may claim it happened at lunch time but if they promoted it for students they were responsible for, it's on them.

Parents must sue for millions out of every school and faculty member that released their minor children into the streets and into harms way!

Guess that “minor”, as portrayed by the press, is more sympathetic than “obnoxiously insufferable prepubic teen leftist resistance punk”.

They didn’t accidentally steal the ambulance? Good to have that clarified.

If the school promoted this, or at least told students they didn’t mind, then the district should get sued. In loco parentis.

If the school said they shouldn’t do this, but would not punish them for leaving campus, sue the schools.

About the only defense for the schools would be to punish every student who walked out. They might still get sued, but they’ll have a chance of winning.

I designed two of those schools in the early 2000’s.

But the headline should be changed to:
“Encouraged by Teachers, Students Cut Classes to Play in Traffic”
