Maggie Gibson Trump rushed off stage at campaign rally; protester says he was roughed up

 In Reno, Nevada, on Saturday, November 5, 2016, Donald Trump was ushered off a stage Saturday by Secret Service agents during a campaign speech. In the official statement, a calamity in the crowd was caused by someone yelling "gun", despite there being no weapon present. The man who shouted "gun", later identified as Austyn Crites, told reporters the commotion started when he raised a "Republicans Against Trump" sign. He was attacked when we lifted the sign, and then he heard something about a gun, so he cried out. He has no affiliation with the Clinton campaign, although he does personally support Hillary Clinton, because "Trump is a disaster for the country." After the incident, Trump returned tot he stage to complete his speech. Some of Trump's campaign has been using this incident to attack Hillary, Donald Trump Jr. retweeting a tweet that said, " 'Hillary Clinton ran away from rain today. Trump is back on stage minutes after assassination attempt.' "
     This article is intended to inform the reader of what occurred at Trump's rally, and the continued fight in the 2016 presidential campaign that will come to a head tomorrow evening. The author seems to write from an unbiased point of view, providing all the facts surrounding the situation, whether they make Trump look bad or good. The significance of this is that the craziness and violence of the Trump supporters at the rally reflects the changing atmosphere of politics brought out by this year's election. This year's election has been considerably lacking in respect and especially polarizing of both political parties. This can be synthesized to the election of 1824 between Jackson and Adams, another especially nasty election with two opposing political parties.
