    Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Teri Barbera said in a statement Saturday that the incident happened Friday around 1:45 p.m.

    Officers assisting the U.S. Secret Service reported that a vehicle in the motorcade had been struck by what was believed to be a small, hard object.

    Several members of the motorcade returned to the scene after completing the motorcade to look for witnesses and objects along the roadway.

    A child from a local middle school confessed to throwing the wood at the motorcade and also implicated four additional students.

    Charges will be filed with the Palm Beach County States Attorney’s Office.

    No additional information was given.

    There’s never been such hate after an election as long as I can remember.It is very disturbing in a democracy such as the USA.I fear that we are heading into a disaster.The democrats are fully responsible for this and have to see that it ends.

    Plenty of people did not like Obama, yet no one tried to harm him. However it seems that the liberal left is really not ‘liberal’ but very full of hate and nothing of accepting of another who is different in them.

    Shame that America has come to this.

    While the following quote refers to a different state, it may give insight in this matter:

    > Ash Hampton’s son Cameron is in 6th grade at Boyd Arthurs Middle School. He went to art class yesterday to find an article on the overhead projector that blatantly called the President a liar. Art class. Not Social studies, or American Government…Art class. Cameron’s father is livid, and with good reason.

    As each day goes by our tolerant liberals have become the intolerant they claim to hate. I gues they’re only liberal up till one dares to present a view that flies in the face of their liberal agendas. If this is how liberal parents and a liberal educational system are teaching their young, America is in big trouble.
    I hope the legal system punishes these kids to the fullest extent of the law. The left screamed respect for the office no matter how much one disagreed with Obama. Ok where is that respect for the office now that Donald J Trump is the President?
    Leftist liberal are out of control and now that madness has infected their young.
