"We voted this morning to make some changes in the rules that left us on overtime with a day's work left to do," Beers said as he called the recess. "We have a budget. We're now going over. And we don't even have ballots."
Party Chairman Sue Lowden left quietly out a rear exit as the Paul supporters erupted in anger, demanding to continue the debate into the night and choose delegates.
"That's baloney," shouted one man. "I didn't pay to sit through this."
"Beers, you're finished," yelled a woman with a Paul sticker.
Others used stronger language as they gathered around Beers.
A few minutes later, it was reported someone had threatened Beers, who was taken quickly from the hall by security.
"The rhythm of the day forced this free-form fiasco," said Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki.
Before he left, Beers offered Paul's Southern Nevada chairman Brian Kominsky a deal, saying he would provide them a complete list of nominees for national delegate and a list of state delegates. He said Lowden would try get the party access to the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas to finish the convention in the next few days.
Kominsky questioned whether the party was really out of time at the Peppermill saying that when he asked, Peppermill officials said the group could have the room for another three hours past their original 5 p.m. deadline.
