Trump protester at center of security scare says he held "A simple sign"

The man whose protest at a Donald Trump rally in Nevada led the Secret Service to rush the GOP nominee offstage said he went to the event "with a simple sign" to "voice my displeasure with the nominee that the party picked."

Austin Crites, who said he is a registered Republican, said in an interview today with ABC News' "Good Morning America" that he held up a sign proclaiming "Republicans Against Trump" at the rally in Reno on Saturday.

After he raised the sign, "of course there was the booing going on around me," Crites told "GMA." "Then a couple of guys started trying to violently rip the sign out of my hand, grabbing my arm, grabbing the sign ... then all of a sudden I just got tackled by several people at once ... eventually the police came, and I was thankful for that."

Many reports he was pushing people. “Walking through them”. Obvious bird dogging. He got what he was looking for.

What else would a simpleton carry? A simple sign, of course.

Should have been here last night.

1. He tried to assassinate Trump

2. He is a homosexual

3. He had an accomplice

4. He works for Hillary

5. He had a gun, possibly an automatic rifle that was passed on to his accomplice that ran off.

6. He is part of the Wikileaks email hack

7. He works for Soros

8. He broke an old ladies legs

No mention of him being a part of an IS, ISIS, ISL, AQ, ISISL, HISLS plot.

No mention of him being a part of a GOP plot to stop Trump.

That is creepy. Here’s the link to google street scenes, there’s a guy standing right in front of the child care sign that looks like the perp from last night.

Yes, it does. I chose not to point that out as not relevant, if you will.

Makes you wonder why a guy who works in the Aerospace industry in Reno Nevada is a Stratfor customer. That’s who got the books apparently.

I WAS here last night and KNOW who he is——what does that have to do with defending an individual who works for a living?

He’s not on the dole.

The links to the archive site show the original pages full size. From the archive site you can get the original URL and then see for yourself the source of the information. In this case a couple of web sites that provide voter registration information, and one with death record data.

That approach is pretty common among the 4-Chan and reddit "research" community so that they have a snapshot of a page recorded before they disclose the real URL, since often pages get changed or removed when the information becomes public.

Of course, visiting the URLs associated with that kind of research is best done from a computer with very strong anti-virus and malware protection.

Assuming no errors in the data on the cited web sites, there is evidence that a person voting in a number of elections by mail from the same home address as the protester died years before they voted.

I have also seen video which may show the same protester being escorted out of a Trump rally in Florida in August.

Someone should ask him if he is the one who yelled “Gun!” when he reach under his jacket “to pull out his sign”.

They misspelled his name

he has been exposed as involved in voter fraud and probably was part of a set up with CNN collusion (ala Michelle Fields ambush of Corey Feldman) to make Trump supporters look violent

the episode is on tape so everyone can see for themselves how innocent he was

I hope forensics catches the guy who yelled “gun” and slunk away

Stratforstaff and Podesta were in frequent communications

They had a common love of “pizza” (pedophile code)

“...someone posted in another thread he was there and that the guy came in with the person who yelled ‘gun!’ ...”

That’s what they do. It’s called guerilla theater. They’ll pretend to be both KKKers and the “victims” of a KKK attack.
Lenin and Mao wrote extensively on the so-called effective use of guerilla theater as a propaganda tool.

“8. He broke an old ladies (sic) legs.”

I missed that detail. Where can I find that?

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution just highlighted this AP flash:

A protester involved in a scuffle at a Donald Trump rally in Nevada is denying accusations that he is an operative for Democrats.

Austyn Crites says he is a 33-year-old registered Republican who has donated money to Hillary Clinton's campaign and canvassed for her last week because he doesn't support Trump. But he says he has never met Clinton or her campaign.

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told CNN he was "a Democratic plant or operative" but offered no proof.

Crites says he attended Sunday's rally with a "Republicans Against Trump" sign when he was attacked and someone yelled something about a gun. Secret Service agents quickly hustled Trump away. The agency said no gun was found.

Crites says the Secret Service released him after more than an hour.

Since you didn't provide the URL I'll have to take your word for it. However, given the warning of a puter with very strong anti-virus and malware protection, I guess I'd pass if you provided it anyway. So I'll just take your word for it if you are saying you have seen it. As for why he is mentioned there, I'll run with your guess as well, that he bought the books.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was at another rally as well. The guy is a jerk of major proportions. Even if Trump were what he says he thinks he is, that would still be better than crooked Hillary and the loss of this country. A dictator would have a very hard time accomplishing that unless he had a network in place to pull it off, and Trump doesn't. However, Hillary sure does, that is obvious. I said earlier that I bet he is a Glenn Beck devotee. He sounds as wacko as Beck has become.
