A man who tried to rush the stage at a Donald Trump rally in Ohio was charged by federal prosecutors Tuesday with illegally entering a restricted area. Authorities say Thomas Dimassimo, of Fairborn, jumped a barricade and rushed at Trump on Saturday. Video from the rally shows Dimassimo was able to touch the stage before security officials tackled him. Dimassimo, 22, was charged in federal court in Dayton. The misdemeanor charge carries up to a one-year prison sentence. Dimassimo, who attends Wright State University in Dayton, is a hard-working college student whose intentions were benevolent and a way to express his political ideals, his attorney, Jon Paul Rion, said. "He clearly did not mean any ill will toward any person and was simply expressing his political views," Rion said. Dimassimo is a senior at Wright State majoring in acting, said university spokesman Seth Bauguess.

Personally I think the leaders who led the Chicago rally disruption should get the max sentence. They protest in an area guarded by Secret Service which is illegal
Is he 22 or 32 years old. The Montgomery County jail profile of him stated dob 9/8/1983. How is it they can’t even get this basic piece of information correct.
Good point. Giving him a pass sends the wrong message to would be disrupters. This needs to be dealt with in the harshest way possible to dissuade other radicals who may have harmful intentions in mind.
'Where do they come up with this BS???'
They are probably Harvard Law School Grads.
How do Elite Harvard Law School grads feel about average American voters like us?

Look at Myth Romnuts campaigning for anyone, who is not Trump, to see how far that secret handshake goes!
Would you be proud if you or some of your relatives graduated Harvard Law?
Maybe a J.C. is OK?
Probably paints props (with supervision).
it's exact the message that the powers that be want to send : go ahead and try to kill Trump. We will protect you. Don't worry. Nothing to fear. Just do it!
I'd be more proud if it were M.I.T.
This punk is photographed standing on an American flag, dragging it along the ground....A real Che fan. Time for him to grow up a bit...in jail. But meanwhile he is a media darling.
Prison with maximum punishment.
Waterboard everyone on that campus. See what they know.
majoring in acting....and that’s all you need to know.
Prayers for Trump and his supporter's safety. The usual left wing nutcases are out in force this election.
Good.
