Donald Trump Swarmed by Secret Service (Attacker's name is Thomas Dimassimo)

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?"

Tom Dimassimo is the perfect example of a poor soul brainwashed by an overly liberal university. Tom Dimassimo is a proud student of Wright State University, in Dayton Ohio. Parents who are considering sending their children to this college should really consider watching the videos on this page so that they can see the quality of education one can expect when attending this university.

Tom Dimassimo has been caught on camera lying to reporters saying that he means no disrespect to US soldiers, however in an unreleased video, you can clearly hear Tom Dimassimo telling a US Veteran that he will burn a flag when the Veteran made it obvious that he was offended by Tom Dimassimo’s flag deseration. Tom Dimassimo obviously has no respect for the men and women who died for his ability and freedom to attend a college int he first place, unless you consider telling a vet to his face that you’re going to burn a flag respecting them. Surrounded by a group of his friends, Tom Dimassimo was a real tough guy..

“I will take 20 bucks that it isn’t a Cruz supporter.”

Easy money, since Cruz lost virtually all of his supporters last night.

Some guy in the audience in front of Trump warned him. That is when Trump turned around.

Looks like the half-arse pants punk to me with the Arabic music standing on the American flag. Notice how some patriots showed up with American flags and confronted them? Likely they’ll scream that their safe space was violently intruded on.

What I do when the title is too long is to post the thread with a truncated title, such as This title is way too long for FR's 100 character limit and is[tr]

Then in the first comment I post: "Title truncated, full title is 'This title is way too long for FR's 100 character limit and is a really long run-on sentence fragment in the original where they clearly own stock in a printer's ink company'.

If that last name is what I think it is, I will hide my head in shame for the rest of the day.

Our hero, Scalia, just passed.

Look at what this jerk does.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Too bad the attacker won’t be spending his night in a full body cast.

"Every Trump supporter who is close to the stage should be just as vigilante as the secret service."

The SS would say no, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Freedom Rider types that protect our Precious Fallen Soldiers show up and make an appearance and ring the stage.

[VerySadAmerican]

They can’t say no to a spontaneous reaction by the people near the stage. At least try to trip the guy.

[hoagy62]

I just explained to my 16-year-old son what this guy did and who he represents...America-hating fruitcakes.

My son looked at me and said, “F him.” (Not the whole word, just ‘F’.)

[dp0622]

why? why would white kids do this?

and by the way, i’m getting back in fighting shape, just in case.

especially when he has rallies in NYC :)

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

That's him. Attacking a POTUS candidate? Not too bright.

MUSLIMS PROTESTERS UNITED AGAINST TRUMP

[silverleaf]

well, last weekend a whole slew of media and government people were DEMANDING that Trump “disavow” the KKK and “extremist groups” among his supporters

so I assume the same people are DEMANDING that Bernie Sanders do the same

Paul Ryan? Ted Cruz? everyone in the GOPee. Hillary? Jake Tapper? Rest of ME-dia?

[Wilderness Conservative]

His facebook photos say it all.

As a Trump supported, I don’t think these comments are helpful and wish they would stop.

[Marie]

There. You just did it for me.

Thank you.

Moving on...

On God Like Productions, it says he’s in an ISIS video.
I didn’t check it out.
