[video]https://youtu.be/06d4t1704N8[/video] The guy who did it: [URL]https://twitter.com/JaxAlemany/status/708708436683390976[/URL] Apparently he jumped the barricade and made a run for the stage. Details still coming out on if he was armed or not.
If this guy becomes president I wouldn't be surprised if he gets assassinated.
[QUOTE=SpyWolf;49919114]If this guy becomes president I wouldn't be surprised if he got assassinated.[/QUOTE] I feel like I'd be a little annoyed at that assassin simply because violence towards somebody because their beliefs are different to yours is kind of sinking to Trump's level (if his rhetoric holds water).
[QUOTE=SpyWolf;49919114]If this guy becomes president I wouldn't be surprised if he got assassinated.[/QUOTE] The Secret Service is really good at its job, I don't expect any attempts to actually work. I will say I am surprised Trump doesn't have bulletproof glass protecting him at this point, but that might be a resource issue with the SS or Trump just doesn't want it.
videos with audio on only one side make me fear my headphones have just broken
Damn, and we're not even halfway through the primaries yet! This year is going to be one hell of a ride.
No one has the right to interfere in our elections. He deserves to have his word out and for the American people to vote without the danger of an assassination. I don't care what his ideals are or who he is, when you attack one of our candidates you are attacking everyone's democracy.
Trump straight up lunged. He don't need no secret service.
Definitely went for his CC there, until they grabbed his arms.
Those security guards were protecting the protester, not Trump.

Holy shit that crowd has some bloodlust.
[QUOTE=Shotz;49919219]Better video: [media]https://youtu.be/06d4t1704N8[/media][/QUOTE] Thank you, updated the op.
How long before we have another Reagan incident?
Did he really think that was gonna work? There was no way he wasn't gonna get dogpiled.
I believe he was going for the 'dagger in the open' approach, so to speak. It wasn't ever about necessarily making a successful attack as much as it was proving a point. However poor a point it may be.
[QUOTE=Lium;49919304]Did he really think that was gonna work? There was no way he wasn't gonna get dogpiled.[/QUOTE] He made it within about a metre or two. All you'd need is either one fairly strong/athletic person or two people from competing angles and he would've stumped the trump.
[QUOTE=icarusfoundyou;49919339]He made it within about a metre or two.

Not that I condone political violence. [QUOTE=kyle877;49919335]I believe he was going for the 'dagger in the open' approach, so to speak.

He already knows that, I expect. He must get all manner of threats.

That would either kill his campaign for killing on live TV, or guarantee his victory by asserting his 2nd Amendment rights and surviving an assassination attempt.
[QUOTE=icarusfoundyou;49919339]He made it within about a metre or two.

Just imagine that, Trump shooting a would-be assassin.
[QUOTE=Lium;49919348] Prove what point? That people want Trump harmed? He already knows that, I expect.

I don't pretend to know his motives, but that's certainly a logical jump for me.

[QUOTE=Jordax;49919381]Trump started reaching to his right side through, and I vaguely remember that he mentioned in earlier interviews that he has concealed carry too.

I don't get how a gun is going to help when someone is that close behind you.

[editline]12th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=kyle877;49919384] Imagine that, Trump shooting a guy, and pegging one or two people behind him.[/QUOTE] Yeah even if he has a CCL and carries I wouldn't trust him to accurately hit a target in such a chaotic situation with so many people behind said target. I don't see a playboy like Trump getting much time in on the range.
You can say what you want about this guy but he's one smooth motherfucker
[QUOTE=Raidyr;49919391]"Trump shoots, kills unarmed protester who lunged over barricade during rally" What a hero.[/QUOTE] When you're being rushed you don't know if they're armed or not. Even so you have 70 year old Trump vs an aggressive 20-30 yr old man, a single punch would knock out Trump. Pulling out his CC weapon would be the ultimate [sp]Trump card[/sp]. Also jumping over the barricade and running through Secret Service doesn't exactly seem friendly to me.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;49919272]Holy shit that crowd has some bloodlust.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't be surprised if trump pulled out a gun on the protestor, everyone would cheer in frenzy.

Again, this assuming that his rounds only found the man and not the several security guards or one of hundreds of people in the crowd.

It'd probably have had repercussions but I think he would have gotten away with it. Politicians have escaped worse.
