(Emphasis mine & I inserted the link):
“Let us begin with what should be obvious and unnecessary to discuss: don’t stomp on anyone’s head. There are no mitigating circumstances to be presented in this article or video. You don’t stomp on a person’s head. Tim Profitt was wrong and should not have resorted to violence…
As you can see in the video, Valle reached in the candidate’s window with her ‘RepubliCorp’ sign and shoved it in his face. Several supporters in Paul shirts have her surrounded at that point, and a man in a suit is the first person to actually intervene physically. It’s hard to tell from the video, but it could be that the man in the suit was with Paul’s security staff.
Toward the end of the video, you see several Paul supporters asking a police officer to come intervene. It was Paul supporters who told Profitt to back off. It was Paul supporters who brought the police. Contrary to the growing narrative on the left, this video clearly shows that Valle was not the victim of a conspiracy to ‘take her out.’ ”
Update: At 0:54 in the embedded video we can, contrary to one of the assertions in the original RedState article, see the activist (Lauren Valle) -- still wearing her blond wig -- run in front of the vehicle. Contrary to Valle’s assertions, we cannot see anyone chasing her. What is clear is that -- after her first assault was thwarted -- she is now rushing Rand Paul from behind in a vigorous effort to mount a second attempted assault. It appears as though she was intercepted at the door of the vehicle. Presumably, that is when she was more forcefully taken down and the police were summoned.
