With the election over, a federal judge has ended probation for an Ohio man who tried to rush a Donald Trump rally stage.
Judge Sharon Ovington’s Thursday order says she cut short a scheduled, one-year probation for Thomas DiMassimo based on his probation officer’s recommendation and without objection from the U.S. attorney’s office.
She fined him $250 in July and ordered him to stay away from “any Republican presidential event,” after earlier warning him against going to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
DiMassimo pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of illegally entering a restricted area.
The then-Wright State University student was arrested March 12 at the future President-elect’s Dayton-area airport hangar rally. He said he hoped to grab the microphone to show people they could stand up to Trump.

If the Main Street media would report in a factual manner the uninformed people in our country would be far more confident and comfortable with our new president. Unfortunately, these folks don’t do their own research they merely drink the kook-aid of liberal hatred. They are all toxic
Prior behaviour is a measurement of tomorrow’s action. Shame on this Judge. The problem this country has is that their are little or no consequences to people who behave in tactical aggressiveness. Had this scum did this to Obama he would be in prison. Since our snowflake justice system just can’t get it right we should view her actions as one unable to perform her duties. Ask for her resignation. And, if this scumbag causes any more trouble perhaps the judge can serve out his term under a “a neglect of duty” clause leading to potenting life threatening things. I wonder if the Judge’s family had been attacked if she would feel that probation was fair and that probation rescinded because he is such a fine american. JAIL him for life.
