Police Consider More Arrests in Rand Paul Heckler Scuffle
Edited on Thu Oct-28-10 11:44 PM by DearAbby
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 Paul was arriving for a debate with his Democratic opponent Jack Conway. The two men are campaigning for a Kentucky Senate seat.

2. How about charging the cop who stood by and let it happen?

3. I am glad that is happening.
No one should be attacked for expressing their opinion.

6. I hope they wind up in jail!
A good lesson to teach some of these thugs - with their babbling bullshit about freedom of speech and their "Don't Tread On Me" t-shirts.

:puke:
