Saying on BBC that a guy trying to grab a cops gun or something at the rally, as his supporters are security screened before entry.

About 25 seconds in you can hear the crowd distinctly say he, the protester, has a gun.

What was the Army doing there ?

I know there has been some intelligence to suggest their could be a Terrorist attack around Election day, but did not think they would do this at rallies, unless the threat is substantial.

Any way, that cop in that pic, the one in the middle to the left of the protester, looks like Jason Bourne (Matt Damon). What you think ?

Oh dear, how embarrassing for Crooked Hillary. College Student calls out Hillary at her own, 'small' rally attended by Bernie Sanders and gets applauded and then removed by security.

No gun. He was about to lift a sign. Someone shouted 'gun' and all hell broke loose. The protester has been released.

RENO, Nev. — The man who caused a commotion at a Donald Trump rally Saturday said he's a registered Republican who wanted only to show his displeasure with his party's nominee.

Members of the audience at the event for the GOP presidential nominee tackled Austyn Crites, 33, of Reno after someone yelled "gun" while others were trying to rip away his anti-Trump sign.

"I just went with sign that said 'Republicans Against Trump,’ " Crites said. "It’s a sign that you can find online. I held up the sign and initially people around me were just booing me telling me to get out of there. Then a couple of these guys tried grabbing the sign out of my hands."

Crites had no weapon. Secret Service agents later released a statement to that effect and let him go without charges.

At that rally he was probably the only one who didn't have a gun ! Land of the free my backside, the guy got assaulted just for holding a placard. Sign of things to come if Trump wins.

I cant seem to get my head around how the voting system works over there compared to ours.
Do people have to register an affiliation to a party when they register to vote?

They go through screening, I already said that ! :dunce:

But I wouldn't expect anything less from you and your narrow-minded view just to distort the facts, after all, you're no better when you call people thick/stupid, who vote opposite to you! :dozey:

One slight, but important, difference - she doesn't offer to pay legal fees if they beat up protestors, or say things at rallies like '“I’d like to punch him in the face, I’ll tell you.”'
