A law enforcement official later told CNN no charges were filed against Crites.

After he was released from custody, Crites told reporters the incident started off when he raised a "Republicans Against Trump" sign.
Crites said he was then assaulted by a group of people around him before anyone shouted anything about a gun.

"All of a sudden, because they couldn't grab the sign, or whatever happened, bam, I get tackled by all these people who were just, like, kicking me and grabbing me in the crotch and just, just beating the crap out of me," Crites said, according to KTNV. "And somebody yells something about a gun, and so that's when things really got out of hand."

Less than an hour after the incident -- and before it was clear what happened -- Trump's campaign sought to highlight the moment to suggest he was tougher than his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, who had to cut short a Florida rally due to heavy rain.
Dan Scavino Jr., Trump's social media director, and Donald Trump Jr., the nominee's oldest son, retweeted Jack Posobiec, a supporter who wrote: "Hillary (Clinton) ran away from rain today. Trump is back on stage minutes after assassination attempt."
But the Secret Service statement made clear no weapon had been found. Neither has deleted the retweet.

Yeah the obnoxious shithead in this story is definitely the person advocating for making a choice.

No but saying I don't want to vote doesn't mean I won't. It just at states my discontent. I don't need someone to justify to me that I should vote no matter how bad the candidates are.

And to expand on it, fuck you mcp. I served my country for ten years under shitty presidents. If I don't want to vote it doesn't make me wrong for doing so

I have a close relative who was openly wondered why Mexicans had to come up to our country to have homes, when they could just stay in Mexico and build homes out of "sticks." I sure wish I could see his Facebook right now.

He distilled a lot of what I've been feeling about Hillary's campaign, especially when he says "She could make a great president, but I'm not sure she's the right president for right now."
