Donald Trump Swarmed by Secret Service (Attacker's name is Thomas Dimassimo)
People Magazine ^ | 3/12/2016 | ADAM CARLSON

Hours after Donald Trump canceled a Friday night rally in Chicago, citing safety concerns as hundreds of vocal protestors filled the crowd, he appeared before a crowd in Dayton, Ohio, to condemn the "planned attack" in Illinois, Reuters reports – even as a man at the Dayton event allegedly moved toward the stage, sending Secret Service agents to surround Trump.

Video from the rally captured the moment agents suddenly appeared next to Trump when a man "attempted to breach the secure buffer and was removed rapidly and professionally," a campaign spokeswoman told NBC News.

Identified as Thomas Dimassimo, he was charged with disorderly conduct and inducing panic, Dayton Airport Police Chief Mike Etter told NBC News. Dayton Airport Police did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for a comment.

Trump himself seemed jarred by the moment, though he bounced back afterward, telling the crowd, according to the Dayton Daily News, "Is anything more fun than a Donald Trump rally?"

Look up your local Republican Headquarters....online or in the phone book

They can tell you if there’s a Trump headquarters in town
If not, they’re required to carry all his information.....they have to carry all the R candidates info, signs and bumper stickers

A simple but effective way to volunteer is get a Trump sign and go stand in the free zone of your own precinct on primary day, or even the day before

Or find a sanctioned street corner and hold a sign

Or....order a T shirt and wear it around town
I did that today and it was really noticed

muslims wear colorful briefs- who knew? I always figured them for tightie whities

No, that wouldn't work, they don't believe in toilet paper.

He's a former child actor with bit parts in shows like "Reno 911" 10 years ago.

Nothing much now except for some crazed youtube videos that are getting more viewing. He formed a production company called Sons of Rhea that has some up.

“Attempted” assault?


Paula Poundstone: I think the police have it in for me.
Johnny Carson: How’s that?
Paula Poundstone: Yesterday I got ticketed for attempted speeding.

“Where do i donate or volunteer for Trump’s campaign?”

Go to his website. I did last night and volunteered. Already heard back from them with a “thank you” - no request for money; they need volunteers to help him wherever we are.

“A terrorist needs to be taken down fast and hard, even if it results in their death.”

EXACTLY!!! This garbage would stop the first instance a Secret Service agent whipped out the ol’ Beretta CX4 and went to town on the Communist/terrorist MF’er (s)! I am WAY beyond sick and disgusted with these vermin!!!

Didn’t he use to hang out at the Bada Bing? No. The Mafia have always been patriots even back to WWI and WWII.

Trump is literally putting his life on the line at every one of these rallies. Secret Service must be going out of their minds. The opponents have just shown us who they fear... none of them could give a rat’s behind about the other three left on our side or Hillary or Bernie, they all know who the next president is going to be. Often the insane are better at seeing the inevitable result before the rest of us. I am not sure why.

Think we’ll soon have another statement from Ted Cruz blaming Trump for being attacked?

Obsessive focus. To understand anyone--normal or freakish-and their thinking on any subject, you have to understand their mental focus. Controlling voters' focus, is also the key to elections. This why the Leftwing media has been able to drag us down.

I tracked it to Italy.

Not sure if Sicily yet.

One of us (descendants of Italians) should be the first to get ten minutes alone in a room with him as justice for embarrassing us.

I volunteer whole heartedly. He’ll leave on a stretcher.

WHEW!!!!!!!!!!! I am relieved! I thought it was Glenn Beck running up to the stage to stab him many times like he said he was going to do.

Gotta watch Glenn. I heard he stabbed his TV set numerous times until it finally gasped and blew up!

He needs to talk—and we need to know who pays for him, is he on a Soros scholarship? How was he transported to the rally? Who’s his buddies? lol. Make sure he talks before the stretcher.

But it was originally a weakness of Sanders that started it all. Now they find it convenient to blame Trump for it.


That’s an interesting point. Sanders had a chance to nip it in the bud but failed.
