True dat. Anyone familiar with self defense training knows of the Tueller Drill, or the 21 foot rule. Simply stated, within 21 feet it is possible for a man with a knife to successfully close on and overtake a man with a sheathed firearm.
People who design events with security in mind account plan for such eventualities. You can bet that they have been in place at every Øbongo event since day one.
Secret Service protection, it’s a federal crime to ‘impede or disrupt’

Donald Trump made headlines Monday when he reportedly ordered his Secret Service agents to remove 30 black students from a campaign event. Under federal law, however, he — or any candidate with Secret Service protection — theoretically could have asked the agents to do much more.
That’s because H.R. 347, which updated existing protest regulations in 2011,makes it a federal crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison to “impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of government business or official functions” — and that applies to a candidate if they’re under Secret Service guard.

The legislation was passed as a result of the Gabby Giffords incident.
Trump threatens to ‘press charges’ against protesters after latest chaos

That may have been the plan, but it also may have been a dry run for something bigger.Probing defenses.
1) Cruz can't beat Trump.
2) Hillary can't beat Trump.
3) Cruz and Hillary are part of a stage production which cannot abide Trump--he would shut it down.
4) We ain't seen nothin' yet.
Does this man still have his teeth? If he still has his teeth, why? Have they no trees in Ohio? Have they no birds for feathers in Ohio? Have they no tar in Ohio?
This was attempt murder and he was released? America is finished.
Communists/socialists/Islamists always lie; this guy is all three.
Ain't you heard...that five minute video with the black flag and Arabic singing was all just a funny hoax.
College hijinx...
The Ohio incident appears to have been coordinated. In the video, another demonstrator was being ejected from Trump's front, and while people's attention was directed there, the other guy rushes in from the rear.
If there's a coordinated action by a dozen people, they could get through Trump's security screen.
bail amount on the bottom line
$500 for disorderly conduct and $2500 for inducing a panic
One of the Secret Service agents reported that he saw DiMassimo “grab an unknown citizen by the shoulder and pulled him out of his way,” before jumping the metal fence and run toward the stage, the report states.
DiMassimo was taken down about four feet from the stage and a Secret Service agent “busted his own nose as he fell on top of DiMassimo” while attempting to handcuff him, according to the report.
By the Obama White House ?
Thank you for that. I had read it someplace around here yesterday. they had a diversion first. Maybe razor wire around Trump now? They must keep him safe.
He shouldn’t be too hard to find,his name and city of residence are know.
How does a man who attacked or even feigned an attack on a leading presidential candidate bond out before he is vetted?
the guy that actually SHOT reagan is not even in jail anymore!
someone is going to have to die it seems to wake people up to the danger here.
If someone did that to Obama they would never be heard from again.
Someone should ask this birdbrain which race Trump is against.
Hispanics are not a race.
who attacked Trump allegedly attends the same university which is scheduled to host the first 2016 presidential debate, a university characterized as 'poster child' for worker visa abuses....
CLEVELAND (AP) — A man arrested after trying to jump on the stage at Republican Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Dayton reportedly told police he planned to grab the microphone and yell that Trump is a racist but didn’t intend to hurt anyone.
The Dayton Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/1ph5M0O) that it has obtained a police report that says 22-year-old Thomas DiMassimo told officers that he’d given his car keys to his girlfriend at Saturday’s rally anticipating that he’d be arrested. DiMassimo, of Fairborn, was charged with misdemeanor inducing panic and disorderly conduct. He was released on bail.
DiMassimo, an acting student with Wright State University’s theater program, couldn’t be reached for comment. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.
Trump was campaigning ahead of Tuesday’s Ohio primary.

BTW…about Wright State University….
Everyone and his brother has been telling America that Trump is a racist. No need for him to repeat the same.
Oh come on. While it is true that everyone and his brother has been calling Trump a racist, you have to realize that these so-called progressives are not capable of forming an original thought. This guy likely thought he'd be on the vanguard of progressive "thought" if he got up and said exactly what they all say.
