Who were the "military guys"?

[kentuck]

Some guy was carrying a sign and some people freaked out and the Secret Service rushed him off the stage?

But as they were escorting him out, there were several military people with body armor and automatics - with steel helmets - leading the way.

Is that common to get a military guard?

I'm sure there will be more information soon?

Inquiring minds et al...

1. Trumpenfuhrer's SS.

32. +1

2. I hear that they are a private security team hired by Trump...

Seems weird, because I didn't think the SS would allow something like that. But that was posted on another thread on the subject.

I orginally thought they might be NG, but the unis were a bit off.

[kentuck]

8. Very interesting.

Hmmmm.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

28. Um, they "were" the SS.

His very own SS:

SS: abbreviation of Schutzstaffel (German: “Protective Echelon”), the black-uniformed elite corps and self-described “political soldiers” of the Nazi Party. Founded by Adolf Hitler in April 1925 as a small personal bodyguard, the SS grew with the success of the Nazi movement and, gathering immense police and military powers, became virtually a state within a state.

[Wounded Bear]

31. I know who the Schutzstaffel were...

I was referring to the Secret Service.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

35. Yes, it was clear that you were referring to the SS.

I was making a point about a different kind of SS that Donald seemingly would be very comfortable with, as long as he were der führer.

[dalton99]

33. Hired by Trump and paid for by taxpayers

[Wounded Bear]

34. Doubtful...

If hired by Trump, they'd be paid out of campaign contributions.

37. nope. Just RPD swat team

[doc03]

3. Probably extras brought in for the staged incident. I am surprised

he didn't stage something where he would take out the bad guy all by himself and save everyone.

[jberryhill]

4. Okay, I'll bite

1. The purpose for staging this is, what, exactly? What has been accomplished by it?

2. Are the Secret Service and local police also in on it? Afterwards, does someone give them each an extra 50 bucks and a case of beer?

From all reports, it sounds like there was some minor disruption, some asshat shouted "gun!", and that's pretty much like yelling "fire" in crowded theater. The reaction is pretty much what one would expect in those circumstances.

But, do tell me, how is some double-secret false-flag whoop de doo required for what seems to be a fairly unsurprising set of circumstances?

[doc03]

5. I wouldn't put anything past that orange carnival barker. Hey how many stunts has he pulled

the last 1 1/2 years to dominate the news cycle.

[jberryhill]

9. Ok fine

But please explain what this does for him?

Like, what's the point? What is the connection between conducting this "fake event" and getting votes?

It's like the underpants gnomes...

Step 1. Stage fake non-event where it is rapidly determined there was no weapon.

Step 2. ???

Step 3. Win the election.

I mean, given the timing, I'm surprised you haven't figured out that it was staged in order to distract attention from their attempt to crash Tim Kaine's motorcade!

[doc03]

13. MSNBC broke off their bullshit about polls and actually aired his

remarks. Come on don't get all worked up it was just a joke, can you really say he wouldn't pull something like that if he thought it would get him on camera. Like I said how many times has he said or done outrageous things in the last 1 1/2 years to dominate the news cycle. That's how he won the Republican primaries he played the media like a Stradivarius.

[jberryhill]

16. Ah, yes, to capture all the undecided voters watching MSNBC on a Saturday evening

Why this probably exposed him to zillions who have no idea how they are going to vote.

[doc03]

17. Here check this thread out

[jberryhill]

20. That doesn't answer my question

Please connect this "false flag" event to an conceivable plan to obtain votes.

[doc03]

23. What about the other thread you just visited where Trump is now

telling people in Denver he just survived an assignation attempt? What a brave leader he is now, like Putin.
They tried to shoot him down him in Reno just to watch him die, damn he is another Johnny Cash.

[jberryhill]

24. The guy exaggerates everything

He doesn't need to stage an event in order to act like a jackass. He does that every damned day.

Do you think the car crashing into Kaine's motorcade was staged? Shit happens, Trump's an asshole, big deal.

[doc03]

19. The guy says held up a Anti-trump sign and according to him he was getting

beat up and feared for his life. Sounds like the whole disturbance was instigated by trump supporters to me.
Trump Jr. tweeting The Donald survived an assignation attempt.

[kentuck]

22. Trump gets his own Saturday Night Live.

He will be all over the TV, just like a reality show....and people will be talking about it on the Facebook...such an evil mind...

[kentuck]

12. You know it.

He's the producer and director, a real Barnum P.T.

[spanone]

7. they looked like military. i was wondering the same.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

10. Probably SWAT n/t

[kentuck]

14. I would like to know more about the "guy" they escorted out??

What is his history? How much was he paid to pull his stunt?

[Lucinda]

30. He apparently was just a protester who got pummeled by the crowd. They pulled Trump

because of the disturbance in the crowd. The guy said the SS, or Trump security, who pulled him out did him a favor.

[rollin74]

25. Reno PD SWAT team
