A Florida middle school student has confessed to throwing a "2×4″ block of wood at President Donald Trump's motorcade on Friday, not far from the president's Mar-a-Lago estate, authorities said.

Just before 2 p.m. Friday, as the caravan was passing through West Palm Beach, one vehicle in the motorcade was struck by "what was believed to be a small hard object," the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Saturday.

After completing the trip, "several members of the motorcade returned to the scene and began canvassing the area looking for witnesses and any small hard objects along the roadway in that area," the sheriff's office said.

So.

In the national press corpse FakeNews word-of-the-day, a 2x4 becomes “a wooden block” - implying a kid’s toy weighing less than an ounce was thrown at the “motorcade” - a black car parade of death, spewing carbon-monoxide and pushing through the innocent crowd of threatened innocents!

When do they get their own cable television show, book deal, endorsements and exhibit in a civil rights museum?

These days, a middle-schooler could still be 18-19 years old.

Attacking the president with a 2x4 is an assassination attempt.

He’s going to make a great, hate-filled little fascist snowflake.

Put the handcuffs on him and throw him in a gray-bar hotel for a few days.

If these kids are not taught any respect, how can they expect to deserve any?

Solution: Trump should take a helicopter from where Air Force One lands to where ever he’s going.

Would end traffic congestion along the route also.

This is apparently the offending piece of wood. It is hard to tell, but it appears to be a piece of a 4 x 4.

I’m not sure how many middle school students (early teens?) have developed strong opinions about politics on their own. I suspect a few of his teachers may have fueled his hate of President Trump with their classroom rants against the President.

Nah, it looks like a clock to me. Invite the kid to the White House and do a photo-op for the future genius.
