Someone whose head was stomped would not be standing in front of a camera two minutes later smiling and giving an interview. In the chaos of the moment, someone pressed on her shoulder with his foot that's all. No one stomped the woman's head. The fact is this woman has no one but herself to blame. This was essentially a publicity stunt by a moveon.org agitator whose intent was to generate controversy for the Paul campaign. Unfortunately, her antics succeeded better than she ever dreamed possible. She feigned an attack on Rand Paul, some bystanders restrained her, and the distorted headlines read that a moveon.org member is beaten up by Tea Partiers. The headline should be moveon.org agitator charges Rand Paul at political rally and is stopped by concerned citizens, but will the liberal press report this, no.
If nothing wrong occurred, why did the Paul campaign sever their relationship with the Brownshirt who perpetrated the nothing-wrong attack?
Okay, so this man came to the Rand Paul rally with the intention of stomping on the head of anyone who opposes Paul that showed up? You believe this? What occurred was a response to clearly provocative actions of a member of moveon.org who was there for the purpose of disrupting the event. Do you realize how many politicians have been murdered at political rallies and campaign events in this country? The campaign season is a very vulnerable time for politicians when people know where they are going to be and what time, and they are exposed. These bystanders had no way of knowing whether this wig-wearing freaky looking woman had a gun, a knife, or some other weapon, and whether she was running toward Paul in order to harm him. In the heat of the moment one of them got a bit overzealous subduing the threat, but on the video you could hear others telling him to hold back. If he went over the line then he should be held accountable, but I don't believe he had any malicious intent, he was just overly protective under the circumstances. Had the woman not tried to pull off this stunt in the first place none of this would have happened anyway.
