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?"

You can post the full (long) title in the Body of Thread section.
In any case, I was only commenting on the parenthetical part of the title.
His change was meely to the tense .. instead of “the attacker’s name IS ...” he wishes it were “the attacker’s name WAS.”
Low class comment. I will take 20 bucks that it isn’t a Cruz supporter.
HE’S A FLAG BURNER...this is Hilda all the way!
“Trump himself seemed jarred by the moment.”
Lie.
Trump turned to confront the danger.
At no time was he rattled.
I checked the video to see if he was reaching for his side arm, but no need.

Thanks for the video.
Kick his ass, Donald!!!!
Oh , please . The guy is a leftist commie pinko . Probably a Bernie guy .
“Where do i donate or volunteer for Trumps campaign?”
That is the ONLY place to donate or buy gear or sign up to receive emails. He does NOT contact you unless you ask for it, unlike the spamming of my mail box by Cruz/Rubio.
There are many scammers out there selling bogus Trump gear and keeping all the $$$...one of them is the NRSC...the SENATE who scams Trump supporters then gives the donations to THEIR SENATE candidates.
Cruz got LOTS of it...and NO, you don’t ever see him condemning these scams.

The discussion of Trump causing something is absurd when we have populated our campuses with far left wackos who believe in the destruction of America. They are a powder keg waiting to explode democracy. Along with the millions of illegals and Muslim extremists they are an immediate that to anyone trying to stop them.
Hillary should make known her thoughts, which I suppose would be to throw the guy in jail. After all, she did that to a guy that made a video that 9 people viewed. She is all about law and order you know.
I seriously doubt it was a Cruz supporter. Come on, we’re better than that.
It must be the same guy...

“Now here is a video of Tom Dimassimo telling a US Vet that he is going to burn a US flag.”
This guy is a real LOSER!
What a despicable human being.
Thanks for the link.
He didn't "attempt," he jumped over the barrier into the secure area and started running towards the stage.
Excellent response by the SS and police.
Another attempt by the media to soften the danger by lying about what happened.
Thanks for the info on the identity of the perp.
Trump is made of different stuff than me. If that attempted attack had happened to me, I would need at least an hour or two to collect myself, then regain my stage presence. You know the audience expected his immediate come-back.
This may have been a good time to have a second tier speaker go on the mike for a while. Lots to be stage managed when you become a target.
Named appropriately.
“jarred is the right word....He must be wired and someone warned Behind you...Nothing else makes sense.”
_______________
I expect he may have a wireless headset; however, he definitely was warned as I watched the whole rally and just before he resumed his speech he thanked someone down in front of the stage for warning him.
Thanks....
