The Lexington Police have issued a criminal summons for the head-stomper.
The Lexington Division of Police has identified a suspect in connection to the October 25, 2010 assault of a woman at 600 Cooper Drive.Profitt apologized -- sort of -- while claiming that his stomping on a woman's face only looked bad because of the camera angles.
On the 25th, at approximately 7:00p.m., officers were alerted to an active assault at 600 Cooper Drive (Kentucky Educational Television Studios).
Officers responded to the scene of the assault and made contact with the victim. She identified herself as a member of MoveOn.org and stated she was assaulted while attempting to take a picture with candidate Rand Paul. Division of Police patrol officers took an assault report and forwarded the case to the Division of Police Bureau of Investigation.
Today, October 26, 2010, detectives identified the suspect, involved in the assault, as Tim Profitt. Mr. Profitt is currently being served with a criminal summons ordering him to appear before a Fayette County District Court Judge.
Lauren Valle was diagnosed with mild sprains and a concussion, and said to reporters that her attackers threatened to "take someone out" before they wrestled her to the ground. She is scheduled to appear on MSNBC's "Countdown" tonight.
Wingnuts like Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, and Palin (All spokesmen for the GOP/Teabaggers) claim violence WILL come and it will come from the left! I can't wait to take a peek at the wingnut blogs to read their twisting of this story. Would they dare blame the young MoveOn member because she wanted a picture of Rand Paul?? There can be NO excuse for a young woman to be assaulted just because of her political views. Shameful, but not at all surprising, teabag thuggery....
