A whodunnit befit for 2016.
Two days after the presidential election, Hakika DuBose noticed the words "Lock her up" scrawled on the boarded windows of the stretching studio she owns in Montclair, New Jersey, a suburb 20 miles west of Manhattan.

"At first someone told me it was there, but I thought they were joking. But I drove by and saw it," DuBose told BuzzFeed News. "I was shocked."
She decided to paint over the phrase — a common expression amongst Trump supports against Hillary Clinton — with white paint.
Then, the following day the words "American has spoken. Thank you," appeared on the plywood of her studio, which was undergoing renovations.
Again, she painted over the words with white paint.
The next day, a drawing of President-elect Donald Trump's face appeared next to the words "America has spoken. Thank you!!"

But DuBose wasn't offended; She found the entire incident amusing.
A friend of DuBose suggested that local kids from the Montclair school system make a mural on the store's plywood as part of efforts to beautify the streets.
The kids decided to paint "Make America Love Again" on one boarded window, and a rainbow-colored heart with hand prints and stars on the other.
