Trump protester: I was beaten for holding a 'Republicans against Trump' sign
Source: The Guardian
"The man whose protest saw Donald Trump rushed off the stage by Secret Service agents has said the Republican nominees supporters turned on him when he held up a sign reading: Republicans against Trump.
The man, who identified himself as Austyn Crites, 33, from Reno, told the Guardian he was holding the sign at a rally when Trump supporters wrestled him to the ground.
He said he was kicked, punched and choked, and feared for his life when the crowd turned on him at the gathering in Reno, Nevada.
Crites cited Trumps treatment of Mexicans, Muslims and women as the reason he decided to protest again Trump, who he described as a textbook version of a dictator and a fascist.
There were panicked scenes at the Trump rally, apparently prompted by shouts from at least one person in the crowd that the protester had a gun. Hundreds of people fled to the back of the auditorium in panic as Trump was hurriedly rushed from the stage by his security detail.

FALSE FLAG!!! This was a hyped up piece of crapola from the Deplorable Campaign of Donald Trump and his Deplorable supporters! This guy was a common day protestor. Not any "threat" to the Deplorable Candidates life for sure and had no reason what-so-ever to required Secret Service escort of the Idiot of a stage.
As noted in the story, a MEMBER OF THE DEPLORABLE'S in Reno shouted "Gun". There was not a gun of any type present. One cannot get a gun in 99.9% of all cases into any Presidential Candidates rally were the Secret Service is on duty.
This story needs to go vital. Tweet, Facebook, Instagram, Stumble and anything else social media related. Basically, this was a last ditch, down in the mud, false flag by a losing campaign to turn the narrative two days and counting until the Deplorable Candidate finished.

(7,543 posts)My guess is that the person(s) shouting "gun" was an actual Trump staffer that was planted to shout "gun" when the first protester made themselves known. Since it would have almost certainly been a Hillary protester their ready made script would read that a Hillary supporter attempted to assassinate Trump. No gun would be a minor inconvenience. But it kind of blew up in their face when the sign happened to say "Republicans against Trump". Right on signal both the Trump campaign office and Trump Jr. bellowed out that a Clinton supporter attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. Great headline for tomorrows papers. Too bad it is totally false.
A staged event like this should have a negative impact on Trump's campaign but nothing much sticks. Not even something this deplorable.

THEY are the one$ who pushed, and pushed, and pushed the Clintons and Obama to the center Right, obstRucting every single left-leaning policy they wanted to benefit the people. Every. Single. One. using their bought-and-paid-for hate radio & faux news lies 24/7.
THEY were responsible for the 2008 Recession, the loss of jobs to China like dRumpf has his own bRand made, the hypocrit!
AND this guy says he's Republican? Is he out of his own mind? Hasn't he got it yet??

Agree 100%, I said yesterday this is the Reagan and Moral Majority crowd becoming unhinged. Just look at their cattle like panic at the mere commonness of raising a sign above ones head.

Can't wash out the systemic bRainwa$h he's been exposed to since 40 years.
