[B]TL;DR[/B]
What we initially thought had happened: A man pulled a gun, was pounced and detained
What actually happened: A man pulled a "Republicans Against Trump" sign, someone yelled "Gun!", he was pounced and detained, and then released

[quote]Donald Trump was rushed offstage by members of his Secret Service detail after a commotion broke out in the audience at an event at Reno, Nevada.
The Republican presidential candidate was making a campaign speech at a Reno convention center when there was some kind of scuffle in the crowd in front of the podium and two Secret Service agents came and quickly brought Trump offstage.
A man in a white shirt was tackled before being escorted out by law enforcement before being held in a bathroom inside the venue.
Trump quickly returned back onstage and thanked Secret Service.
"Nobody said it was going to be easy for us. But we will never be stopped. Never ever be stopped. I want to thank the secret service. These guys are fantastic. They don’t get enough credit," Trump said.
Sources within the Trump campaign told ABC News that the commotion started when someone in the rally yelled "Gun!" but said that no gun was found.[/quote]
Also, a CNN cameraman tried to film what was going on and this happened:

[I]please[/I] don't try to kill him
not just cuz you shouldn't kill people but we don't need to give his supporters [I]more[/I] "proof" that those who oppose him are wrong
Picture of the guy

shouldn't it be his god given right to carry a gun wherever he pleases?
he was just standing his ground
Killing him would be most retarded. And as I've said in other threads, only make him a martyr.
An attack on a political candidate is an attack on democracy and is some fucking bullshit

Pulling out a gun is not "carrying" it. If I pull a gun out of a holster in a public area I would be committing a crime. But there isn't confirmation that a gun was present.

He never explicitly said to assassinate her lmao

Can you give a source? I'm pretty sure all he did was make a few jokes about it but he never flat out said "Go kill Hillary Clinton"

holy crap that is one hell of a chin on that armed officer facing the camera
a real fucking american
[QUOTE=redBadger;51315542]He never explicitly said to assassinate her lmao[/QUOTE]
to call it implicit is an offense to the concept of subtlety
[QUOTE=redBadger;51315542]He never explicitly said to assassinate her lmao[/QUOTE]
He did kind of imply it though

All I could find was;
[quote]“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the second amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day.”[/quote]
And it can be debated in many loose ways of what he meant. Maybe he meant they can vote against her, to stop her from harming the second amendment for you American folks?
Glad the Trump man is alright though. People who think this guy is; "LITERALLY HITLER-reborn" I cannot help but shake my head in disbelief.

No.
He started off by calling for her assassination and then recognized how retarded he was.
Good idea, a martyr is exactly what we need.
I wouldn't even be surprised if Trump payed someone to do this.

This is awesome. Let's try to find a way to justify a possible assassination attempt because he's Orange Hitler so it's OK.
[QUOTE=King Tiger;51315578]This is awesome. Let's try to find a way to justify a possible assassination attempt because he's Orange Hitler so it's OK.[/QUOTE]
Actually nobody is justifying an assassination attempt, people are just calling out the hypocrisy.

Where? Can you link, please?
Okay this is a good point:

If someone had a gun, that would mean the metal detector/security stuff had been breached - meaning there could be a second gunman, there could be a bomb, there could be anything. Secret Service would surely have gotten Trump the fuck out of the building within minutes, not let him go back
We'll just have to wait for the full story to come out

What I mean is that as he began to recognize what he was saying, he changed his pace. If you watch the video he stutters and tries to get off the subject.
Like when you say something really dumb in a discussion and try to make it so people don't call you out on it.

Let's not get into any conspiracy theories, please.
Especially since we don't know anything yet.
[QUOTE=IliekBoxes;51315575]I wouldn't even be surprised if Trump payed someone to do this.[/QUOTE]
I doubt it, he looked really confused.
I don't quite understand how this would make him a martyr in the slightest.
And what him being a "martyr" would even possibly incite to happen.

Surely that could be said about both candidates though.
Also something to note; Hillary canceled her speech because of rain. Trump continues after a 'assassination' attempt(whether it's credible or not.. who knows).

Can you source that?
