Police Consider More Arrests in Rand Paul Heckler Scuffle

[kas125]

Kentucky cops are considering charges against at least two more Rand Paul supporters caught on tape wrestling a political heckler to the ground while another man stomped on her head.

"At this point, the investigation is still ongoing," Lexington Police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts told ABC News. "We're looking into other individuals who may have been involved in the assault and could get charged."

A short, 50 second video clip of the scuffle shows a handful of people surrounding Lauren Valle, 23, a paid activist for the liberal group MoveOn.org, as she is pushed to the ground Monday. The incident occurred as Rand was arrving for a debate with his Democratic opponent Jack Conway. The two men are campaigning for a Kentucky Senate seat.

One man in the video wearing a checkered shirt appears to wrestle Valle to the curb while a second man steps on her. The face of the man in the checkered shirt is partially visible, but neither man has yet been identified.

1. I think all involvd in that assault should be charged. SOMETHING

other than just words must covince these idiots that violence is unacceptable! A couple of good arrests where they have to hire lawyers (at BIG HOURLY FEES) and pay fines just might do the trick.

2. How many have they arrested so far?

Zero from what I've read...

3. Maybe some action

The investigation of an alleged assault of a liberal activist by supporters of Republican U.S. Senate nominee Rand Paul continued Wednesday as Lexington police worked to identify those involved.

4. Watched a new video of the event on the Big Ed Show.

She is NOWHERE near Rancid Paul when the thugs attacked her. You can see Paul heading into the building on the far near side of the car -- side closest to the camera. Valle is on the far side, away from where he is, and on the other side of the car.

Bullshit that she presented a danger. Tim Proffitt = MEGA LIAR.

5. Who is the guy in the black shirt who put his foot on her leg to keep her from getting up?

He needs to be arrested as well.

6. Scuffle?

SCUFFLE?

How about aggravated assault?

7. I agree, it's ridiculous that the media keeps calling it a "scuffle"

when it's clearly a bunch of thugs attacking a woman. I hope they identify the rest of them and that all of them are severely punished.
