Donald Trump was rushed offstage on Saturday evening by Secret Service at a rally in Reno, Nevada.
While virtually all U.S. media reported that the commotion was of indeterminate cause, one UK new outlet stated that Secret Service believed that man was armed:
Secret Service agents rushed Donald trump offstage on Saturday evening during a rally in Reno, Nevada after they determined a protester in the audience with a gun posed a threat to the Republican presidential candidate.
‘Go! Go!’ they shouted as they whisked him away and a combination of local police and private security wrestled the suspect to the ground.
Thousands of people scattered like a sea of bodies, screams rang out and authorities dragged the man away as he kicked and strained.
From the WAPO:
Some kind of a disturbance had occurred in the front of the room where Trump was speaking. He put his hand above his eyes to peer out into the crowd. As he did so, a security official rushed to Trump’s side and escorted him off stage. People near the front of the room suddenly scattered as U.S. Secret Service and uniformed officers jumped the barricades to apprehend an unidentified man.
Trump later concluded his rally without further incident. It was not immediately clear what the cause of the disturbance was.
Trump is a savage
B******t. Altercation in the crowd

He must be on the Clinton payroll.

MAN AT TRUMP RALLY, KICKED PUNCHED AND CHOKED FOR CARRYING A SIGN THAT READ REPUBLICANS AGAINST TRUMP
The man whose protest saw Donald Trump rushed off the stage by Secret Service agents has said the Republican nominee’s supporters turned on him when he held up a sign reading: “Republicans against Trump”.
The man, who identified himself as Austyn Crites from Reno, told the Guardian he was holding the sign at a rally when Trump supporters wrestled him to the ground.
The 33-year-old – who says he has been a registered Republican for about six years –said he was kicked, punched and choked, and feared for his life when the crowd turned on him at the gathering in Reno, Nevada.
Crites cited Trump’s treatment of Mexicans, Muslims and women as the reason he was protesting when he was rushed off stage by secret Service agents at a Trump rally in Nevada
There were panicked scenes at the Trump rally, apparently prompted by shouts from at least one person in the crowd that the protester had a gun.
Hundreds of people fled to the the back of the auditorium in panic as Trump was hurriedly rushed from the stage by his security detail.
Didn’t have a gun…never had a gun. Didn’t go to jail and was giving interviews outside of the rally to local news. Article is very misleading.
Well as much as I don’t care for Trump NO ONE deserves to die over politics win or lose.
There’s no need for any more ignorance…. “we’ve” already proven to the rest of the world just how ignorant AMERICANS can be with the way this election has gone.
