A Fairborn man who attempted to get on the stage at Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Vandalia said he didn’t intend to harm the presidential candidate. He only wanted to send a message.
Thomas Dimassimo, 22, told police his actions were not spontaneous, according to a Dayton police report. He gave his keys to his girlfriend to take his car home before the rally, according to the report.
“… I’m unafraid,” Dimassimo said, during a CNN interview on Sunday. “If I can be unafraid enough to go take his podium away from him, then we all can be unafraid enough to not let this man walk into the White House.”
Dimassimo told police he planned to run onto the stage, take the microphone and yell, “Donald Trump is a racist.”
Dimassimo, using the Twitter handle @younglionking17, announced his plan on social media and said he was trying to “snag the mic” from Trump and “plead his case” in front of Trump supporters.
Dimassimo also denied he had any connection to ISIS during Sunday’s CNN interview.
“I have no known ties to ISIS,” Dimassimo said. “I’ve never been out of the country. I only speak English.”
Trump used Twitter to broadcast a YouTube video of Dimassimo and accuse him of having ties to ISIS.
Dimassimo has been charged with disorderly conduct and inducing panic.
Secret Service agents reported Dimassimo grabbed a man and pulled him out of his way before he jumped the metal fence and ran toward the stage, according to the police report.
Secret Service agents stopped Dimassimo about four feet from the stage.

So is he saying that it would be okay for all Americans who are offended by this jackass’ antics of standing around on an American flag to look this clown up and knock the sh*t out of him?
Looks like a dart smoker to me.
Where is his “rainbow” shirt?
Maybe he can hire Ted to represent him since he is a victim of Trump’s violent rhetoric
I was amazed when I learned that this thug was not being held or at least released on a significant bond. As this would not happen with a fence jumper while Obummer was on the podium, I am wondering is the SS were ordered to release by the White Hut? I hope Trump has lots of his own security on hand as I have now totally lost faith in the SS.
They area accusing Trump supporters of being violent, so why not beat the holy hell out of the people disrupting the rallies? What is there to lose?
He’s lucky he didn’t get closer to Trump-he might be in the hospital today.
He has gotten off easy, unless other charges are filed.
That's probably up to the Secret Service. The charges that have been filed look like local offenses so they have something to book him on. More serious charges could still be filed.
Trump needs to file suit against MoveOn and Soros
Hit them hard , publicly
