Someone just tried to kill Trump, pulled a gun out at his rally in Reno and got taken down by the crowd/secret service.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Idle checking can't confirm the gun, but yeah, the arrest definitely happened.

Apparently one of the buses in kane's motercade got rammed, too.

It's not even confirmed that the guy had a gun, and the reporter there said that you have to go through metal detectors to get in, so, it would be difficult to get one through. The video is exaggerating somewhat.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/05/politics/trump-rushed-off-stage-at-campaign-rally/index.html

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/trump-escorted-off-stage-by-secret-service-at-reno-rally-230811

There was some sort of disturbance in the crowd at the front, Trump got escorted off the stage, the source of the disturbance was removed, Trump came back. That is essentially all we know right now.

Idle checking can't confirm the gun, but yeah, the arrest definitely happened.

Apparently one of the buses in kane's motercade got rammed, too.

Yeah, there was a note after that of one of Kaine's motorcade vehichles being involved in an accident. No word of injuries or anything as it was just breaking news at that moment.

And he still returned to finish the rally.

Didn't Hillary end her last rally early because of rain, or something?


It's not her absolute last rally, no, but one of them did end early, and that was in Florida, that sunny land of rain.

More like 60ish, I think. 8th. Not quite three full days.

Sunny land of rain and storms, yes. Looks like the east coast is catching some at the moment, actually, or at least has the conditions for it.

A bit less than 2 days and six hours.

Of course though, the results won't start coming in until about 8pm EST. I think theres some that may start coming in a bit earlier, but 8pm is when the polls in the east coast close.

No idea how reliable this person is, but he says that there was no gun, just someone shouting about a gun. So don't worry (?), Trump's life is in a relative safety!

It's better if we don't, imo. Then I won't have to studiously ignore their existence :V

It's plausibe that someone freaked out when they thought they saw a gun.

Pretty sure the folks controlling the Hillbot know the face isn't waterproof, she gets scary enough when her jaw gets stuck in laugh_gape.mode[12], we don't need her face melting off in the middle of that.
