"Republicans Against Trump" - Protester With Sign Beaten After Trump Supporter Yells "Gun" At Rally

                 

Of course the Trumpanzees turn the incident into one where they almost kill the guy and then physically attack reporters, because, why not.

Story out of Reno, Nevada:

A man whose protest sparked a gun scare at a Donald Trump rally in Nevada says he was simply holding up a printed sign that read “Republicans against Trump”.

Mr Trump was rushed off stage by members of the Secret Service, after 33-year-old local man Austyn Crites pushed his way to the front of the crowd and pulled the sign out of his jacket.

Speaking to reporters afterwards, he said he had been holding the piece of paper up for only a few seconds when at least one person shouted “gun” – at which point panic broke out.

Mr Crites told the BBC that Trump supporters started to beat him almost as soon as he pulled out the sign, dragging him to the ground and at one point causing him to fear for his life.

“Someone yells something about a gun, and I keep repeating, ‘I’m down, someone is trying to choke me’, and I gave myself just enough room to keep breathing, and I’m saying to these people, ‘There is no gun, I just have a sign, I only have a sign’.”

Many people rushed away from the stage in the panic, and some journalists who left the media pen to head towards the commotion were manhandled and treated to verbal abuse, BBC News reported.

 Mr Crites told The Guardian he had been registered as a Republican supporter for around six years, and that he had no contact with or affiliation to the Clinton campaign.

“I like these people,” he said of the Trump supporters who beat him. “I understand that they are patriotic and want to do good in this country. The reason I don’t support Trump is because he’s fascist, he’s a dictator. And these types of people take good people and turn them into animals.” Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
