[CoffeeCat]

http://theothermccain.com/2010/10/26/man-in-kentucky-head-stomping-incident-identified-as-mike-pezzano/ ]

Mike Pezzano has been identified as one of the men who were involved in the group of Ron Paul supporters
who threw a woman to the ground and stomped on her head and neck area.

Here is video of the Moveon.org supporter, Lauren Valle, getting thrown to the ground and then getting
her head and neck area stomped on - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhjg2W7vlMc

I found this after a simple Google search, which others may all ready be discussing. Mike Pezzano is
very active in The Lexington Rand/Ron Paul Campaign For Liberty Group. According to this Meetup page,
he RSVP'd to more than 40 events. This is not some outlier. This is a very active group member.

More facts, I'm sure will come to light soon.

(Edited to clarify and add new information)

1. It appears Mr. Pezzano has been looking for a fight for some time

I guess he found one.

[mod mom]

59. He appears to be popular:

message at his meet up site:

Tom posted a greeting for Mike Pezzano
"Die in jail, after being raped by a pack of WHITE TRASH NAZIS, you filthy scumsucking PIG."

2. Why has he not been arrested yet?

yep, Rand Paul loves his brownshirt thugs

[era veteran]

43. Not in our jail as of 3:15PM EST

Got to go to work now. Hope he gets locked up today!

[JustAnotherGen]

3. Grab a screen shot

Of that meet up page wiht all of this info. My company blocks meet up so I can't get to it.

[dgibby]

36. I'm at home.

I'll do it if you tell me how (not very computer literate, I'm afraid).

[sixmile]

4. The new teabagger hero!

This is for the cops.

[ShamelessHussy]

5. I thought this was a Rand Paul-Jack Conway debate for the U.S. Senate, not just a RP event?

Nice work on identifying the perp. :toast:

[flvegan]

6. Ooh, what a tough little "man" he is.

If that is him, he needs to be arrested, tried and jailed.

Then he can really show how tough he is.

[sixmile]

7. His pants would be wet the second the handcuffs came out

Cowards. All.

[CoffeeCat]

8. Apparently, Pezzano threw her to the ground...

...and someone else, who has yet to be identified--stomped on her head and neck area then kept
their foot on her to hold her to the ground.

http://theothermccain.com/2010/10/26/man-in-kentucky-head-stomping-incident-identified-as-mike-pezzano/

"My Kentucky conservative friend Lisa Graas reports she got an e-mail from a Tea Party activist identifying the man, and offers photographic proof. Please note that Pezzano is allegedly the man in the plaid shirt who wrestled MoveOn activist Lauren Valle to the ground, not the guy who stomped her."

[flamingdem]

9. That's an assault charge nt

[cojoel]

13. Assault and battery

nail 'em with both

[Matariki]

10. Curious - was his photo on that page?

It's not anymore if it was. Otherwise, where did you get his name in connection with that assault?

[Hepburn]

11. Mike Pezzano ~~ ID'd in the Article:

12. another link

[BootinUp]

14. He is interested in Democratic Underground? WTF?

[sabrina 1]

26. Looks like he's interested in blogs about marijuana. Is DU part of the

list of those blogs? Maybe he's been reading the threads on legalizing marijuana?

[BootinUp]

28. Its possible

This is one of the weird things about politics, the strange bedfellows. I find libertarianism a little repulsive myself. I think over the next couple of decades it will become more and more clear that the problem in this country is not high taxes, which seems to be one of their main issues. Then when you couple it with their disdain for the civil rights act, AA, it just starts to piss me off. Anyways...

[Kolesar]

42. What dumbass would put that in a public profile where prospective employers can read it?

After he gets through court and/or out of the tank, he is going to be stuck working carnival rides forever.

[Bozita]

15. ooooh! He's interested in DU!

[BootinUp]

16. I beat you by that much.

lol.

[Bozita]

17. I'm betting he's already received a DU pizza

[BootinUp]

18. hmmm could be, paging Skinner!

lol.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

20. Or twenty.

[BootinUp]

22. So you don't think its possible

he is a confused libertarian that thinks he belongs here?

(i hope not)

[dgibby]

38. I doubt he's interested in DU

except to stir up trouble.

[Jackpine Radical]

60. He's not interested in DU. Probly never even logged on.

He's interested in posts ABOUT DU. He likes to find sites where the droolers spray their spittle in tantrums over DU, black helicopters, illegal immigrants, socialized medicine, nigras, and Muslims.

[BootinUp]

62. yeah, thats makes more sense. nt

[sabrina 1]

63. You're right, he's interested in blogs 'about' the following list.

Where are there blogs about DU?

[sabrina 1]

33. Or maybe he's still here?

He could get along on some issues, eg, the war in Iraq and the drug laws, the gun forum etc. If he avoided topics he disagrees on, who would notice?

[meow mix]

23. explains a lot of the posts defending his actions.

my alert button must be broken?

[fascisthunter]

45. I wonder what his DU handle is

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. Is he the older guy who stepped on her or is he one of the tacklers?

With apologies to Pokemon, gotta catch them all.

[BootinUp]

21. the tackler....

[CoffeeCat]

25. Allegedly, he throws her to the ground...

According to information at this link - http://theothermccain.com/2010/10/26/man-in-kentucky-head-stomping-incident-identified-as-mike-pezzano/

From link:

"My Kentucky conservative friend Lisa Graas reports she got an e-mail from a Tea Party activist identifying the man, and offers photographic proof. Please note that Pezzano is allegedly the man in the plaid shirt who wrestled MoveOn activist Lauren Valle to the ground, not the guy who stomped her."

(more at link)

[tuckessee]

31. The head "stomper" has been tenatively ID as a Dem.

edit - tried to post a link but instead showed whole article so I deleted it to avoid copyright issues

[CoffeeCat]

46. Wow, I would love to see that source...

...very interesting.

Can you tell us where you read this?

[glitch]

65. Freerepublic.

I'm guessing. Apparntly maybe even the perpetually insane don't want to be identified with five men attacking a woman.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

66. Total Bullshit.

The man who helped tackle a MoveOn.org activist to the ground and stomped on her head last night has been identified as Tim Profitt, a volunteer campaign coordinator for Kentucky GOP Senate nominee Rand Paul.

[City Lights]

24. Hey, Mike, if you're reading this...GO FUCK YOURSELF!

I hope you and your brownshirt thug pals spend time in jail.

[CoffeeCat]

27. The victim filed assault charges...

...according to the same Website that identifies Pezzano as
one of the gang of men who pushed her down.

http://theothermccain.com/2010/10/26/do-the-kentucky-head-stomp/

"The woman, determined to pose in front of Rand Paul holding a sign that read “Rand Paul Republicore: Employee of the Month,” tripped and fell on the ground after someone grabbed her blonde wig off her head.

She was then stepped on by a man wearing a Rand Paul t-shirt. Police say she refused treatment and later filed an assault report." ]

30. I believe this is his Facebook page

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1621751819

What a jerk!

[county worker]

37. Send him a message about beating up women

[dgibby]

39. I just clicked on your link.

Got the "page not found" message.

[Hailtothechimp]

41. try this one...

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1621751819

It was just working for me a second ago.

[Hailtothechimp]

40. Looking at his 77 FB friends might yield a clue

Here's a link to the most likely one, based on the appearance of an older man with wire rimmed glasses.

http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Adams/572677562

I'm not suggesting that he's the stomper. But he at least knows the guy who appears to be the one who threw her down on the ground. And from watching the video, Pezzano and the stomper appeared to be working in tandem.

48. According to another forum, the woman who id'd him is a tea party member.

She is trying to stay anonymous but not sure if that will last. Whatever, I do applaud her for standing up and doing the right thing.

And may that fucker who kicked the young lady get crotch rot and burn in jail.

67. Tim Profitt and Mike Pezzano have been identified. But what about the teabagger/brownshirt who

stomped on her leg? That bastard should be in jail too.

Any word on him?
