Palm Bay student punched by classmate for carrying Trump sign, police say

A Palm Bay student is facing a felony charge after he allegedly punched a fellow student who was carrying a Donald Trump sign.

Later in the day, another student punched the sign holder while they were both in the gym, police said. “(He) Went up and, unprovoked, punched the other student in the face because he either heard or saw that he had the sign in the cafeteria earlier in the day,” Palm Bay Police Lt.
