Thomas DiMassimo’s attorney does not think his client will be charged in state court, but that the federal misdemeanor charge will go forward. “I don’t think he’s going to be charged in both jurisdictions,” said Jon Paul Rion, who added that he didn’t think DiMassimo would be in Dayton Municipal Court on Tuesday. “It’s clear that Thomas is simply a college student who, in his mind, was simply engaging in a form of political speech and making a statement, in his own mind.

Got it, Not Fascism when they do it.
He is a lefty POS and trouble maker and in a sane world he would be hung.
He is a loud mouth on Twitter. I hope every tweet is used in the trial. This moonbat should be locked away for a long time.
Lynch and the US Attorney in charge will conveniently “lose” this case.
I had no idea there was such a thing as a Federal misdemeanor.
Just another ISIS Kollege Kid, right?
Look for the explosive vest in his closet...
“The federal crime DiMassimo is accused of carries a one-year maximum sentence after a conviction. If a weapon had been used or serious physical injuries had been suffered, there could have been a 10-year maximum”
I am not sure that I agree with their reading of the statute, but we will see.
Our laws are not whatever he thinks they are in his own mind
You don’t charge an individual that is federally protected
This idiot should be in prison for a few years atleast, or when the Trump administration is done is 2024
We need to send a message that this behavior will not be tolerated
I have seen reports that this guy is a 32 year old drama school student. Must be on the 10 year drama graduation plan.
Yes, his client was engaging in a form of speech, in this case drama, conveying his message by attempting to demolish Trump’s lectern and rip the microphone away from him. He should be given a medal.
Rushing the stage behind someone’s back is not making political speech.
Holding a negative sign or walking out, or turning your back on them, is. Flipping the bird is.
His right to free speech did not include trying to get onto a stage. He has no right to be on that stage. Or try to get on it.
So, Let’s all interpret the laws our way. Ignore the statutes. Such Stupidity!
AG Lynch will loose the paper work, the MSM will ignore it, and this guy will be back out the street in no time.
Just another ISIS Kollege Kid, right?
Look for the explosive vest in his closet...
Personally, I would have been fine if they had shot the thug or even hung him but I haven’t seen any real ties to ISIS.
Yeah, to me it is about intent. When someone runs full bolt at you, you do not know their intent. Someone I don't know bolts at me, I will put them down.
Charging a stage and going after a presidential candidate is just, “engaging in a form of political speech and making a statement” . Where are these lawyers trained at? Just bazaar legal speak!
This guy is a student just like Sandra Fluke was a "student". Seems professional lefties stay in their beloved communist incubators, otherwise known as college campuses.
Up to 10 years plus a fine from my reading...
