Man staring down press removed from Trump rally

Source: Politico

PHOENIX, ARIZ. — Security guards removed a man staring menacingly at the press from a Donald Trump campaign rally on Saturday.

A television reporter notified a security guard that the rally attendee was holding an object in his hand and described him as a “very dangerous man” after noticing the man facing away from Trump and staring at length directly at members of the press. Minutes later, security guards removed the man from the Phoenix Convention Center.

The incident comes as Trump’s attacks on the press have grown more extreme in recent weeks, with the Republican nominee accusing journalists and bankers of colluding with Hillary Clinton’s campaign to destroy him as part of a vast globalist conspiracy.

It was not the only press-related incident at Saturday's rally. Minutes before the man was removed, two other men began shouting at the press pen. One of them, wearing a hat with a mushroom cloud and the words “bombislam.com” as well as a shirt with former President Bill Clinton’s face and the word “rape” began shouting, “Bill Clinton’s a rapist.” His companion, wearing a “Hillary for Prison” shirt, shouted at the press, “You are rapists” and “you need to pay for Bill Clinton’s rape,” adding, “You are responsible.”

And all the 'others' are either enslaved or dead. Same dream Hitler had, basically.

but I was watching an old documentary on YouTube last night, about an Austrian girl of Jewish blood growing up as Hitler came to power. It left me wondering how soon we're gonna see our own Crystal Nacht. We've already got our own Adolph stirring the hatred against the imaginary baddies!

Highly militarized slave society based on a racial hierarchy, with dreams of expansion through conquest.

Hitler was the Confederacy with tanks and airplanes.

8. Trump's Supporters/Trolls Would Be Validated By a Trump Win

Think of the vigilante acts following the election of Duarte in Philippines. Trump does not even have to order a purge. He can just sort of smirk through the unrest, and let his supporters quiet dissent, engage in voter intimidate, and harass minorities.

to show Trump as a "viable" alternative to Clinton.

I suspect the travelling press are appalled at Trump, while the suits in the home offices are doing everything they can to make this race more competitive.

Such utter disrespect and inciting such anger at them. Does the press corps not see what is happening? Why on earth do they stand for covering this travesty?
