Ralphy...Riot's rear view mirror.



She sees what she wants to see,whether anything's closer to her than anything appears to be...or not.

It's perfectly o.k. to stick a sign in a moving car.

So politically correct it hurts.

I thought she said she was an innocent bystander - just standing there holding her sign?

It matches exactly what she said happened. It further verifies her veracity.

She said she went up to the car - you can see suits rushing up to push her away (although they didn't push away the Rand sign guys right next to her, of course).

Then take all the time it takes for Paul to get out of the car, etc (where the other full-length video picks up) - meanwhile the volunteer goons are chasing her around the car (which is exactly what she said happened) and pull her back and down to the ground and stomp on her. There are two Lexington PD standing right next to Paul as he gets out of the car.

They tried to get the police to get her out of there beforehand - Proffitt foolishly admitted it - and the police of course said no reason to get her away (because it is, you know, entirely legal to protest political candidates). They knew this girl from previous Rand Paul events.

So the absolute rush to pull her back by the suits - that just plays into her hands about them deciding to target her beforehand. And after they push her back about 10 feet (shown on your tape) - the goons take it up and continue chasing her around the car, finally taking her down and stomping on her?

That makes it WORSE for the goons - she already is no longer any possible "threat" (not that holding up a political sign is justification for assault in the USA in the first place)

You know who revealed the names of Tim Proffitt and Mike Pezzano to the police, in response to the pictures posted on blogs taken from the tape, and from cell phone pics taken by other Rand supporter people there who couldn't believe what was going on?

Female Kentucky Tea Party members who were disgusted by what happened.

And the main blog responsible for identifying these guys was the blog of a Rand Paul supporter who was at the event, and made sure he got good pictures of the guys faces immediately afterwards.

And it gets even more weird .... !
 
Google News from SF Chronicle tonight. There are pictures and video on the site:

Quote:

Rand Paul volunteer assaulter Pezzano missing: Sexual battery charges possible

Unlike head stomping Rand Paul ex-county coordinator Tim Profitt who sent press releases to AP and did an interview with a Kentucky TV news program, the other assault suspect Mike Pezzano has kept a lower profile. Kentucky police are considering charges against at least two more Rand Paul supporters caught on tape wrestling Lauren Valle to the ground while Tim Profitt stomped on her head.

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

Though Pezzano has not been identified by Lexington police, evidence that has surfaced in Tea Party blogs have positively identified him as the person who dragged Valle to the ground while holding her by her left breast as she was forcibly restrained.

Rand Paul volunteer Mike Pezzano is nowhere to be found and is presumed hiding or quietly trying to find a really good criminal defense lawyer. Pezzano has been positively identified by anonymous Tea Party activists who published his pictures online in the same plaid shirt worn by Valle's attacker.

Mike Pezzano's picture was anonymously distributed by Tea Party activists who were offended by his assault of activist Lauren Velle

In the widely distributed video published by the Associated Press, Pezzano is seen tacking and pushing Valle down to the ground as he was grabbing her left breast. Look at 0.09 second frame.

Grabbing Valle's breast as she was being pushed down is significant as it can be grounds for sexual battery in addition to fourth degree assault.

A frame by frame review of the assault by Pezzano clearly shows him grabbing Valle's left breast as he forcibly restrains her. Valle provides no resistance as she is brought down and instinctively assumes a fetal position trying to protect herself.

The video evidence and the high profile nature of the assault is compelling and could force the hand of Lexington police and prosecutors to upgrade charges from fourth degree assault to sexual battery.

In the case of head stomper Tim Profitt, Valle's resulting concussion also brings a strong possibility of an upgrade from fourth degree assault to felony assault.

A Talking Points Memo reader who claims to have been a former Fayette County prosecutor wrote:

The Lexington-Fayette police department, which is evidently conducting the investigation, is very professional and non-political. They can charge under KY law without consulting either Larson or Roberts, but as a practical matter I am certain there is consultation going on.

In this still frame, it is clear that Pezzano grabs Valle's breast as he forcibly restrained. The act of touching Valle's breast in the act of restraining her brings the possibility of sexual battery in addition to fourth degree assault.

In this still frame, it is clear that Pezzano grabs Valle's breast as he forcibly restrained. The act of touching Valle's breast in the act of restraining her brings the possibility of sexual battery in addition to fourth degree assault.

I worked with Larson 30+ years ago but have not spoken to him in many years. Larson is elected as a Democrat, BUT he is totally non-partisan in how he makes decisions on prosecutions. Larry Roberts, likewise, is elected as a Democrat; although I met him many years ago, I cannot say that I know him. He also has a reputation within the legal community of being of the highest personal integrity and makes decisions on prosecutions strictly on the merits and on a totally non-partisan basis.

Although both men are elected Democrats, politics will not have anything to do with any decision either may make in this case. I should also state that there is no question that these are tough, hard-nosed prosecutors.

Based upon the video and assuming there is no exculpatory evidence not on the video, the perpetrator(s) would be well advised to get a first rate criminal attorney and start plea bargaining and hope they can do some time on a misdemeanor in the Fayette County jail. If the report is correct that the victim suffered a concussion, then a felony prosecution is very a distinct possibility. No competent defense attorney wants to cross examine that video.

There is no doubt that civil charges will be filed by Valle in addition to criminal charges that will be filed by Lexington.

Newspaper people and bloggers have been looking for the lady who said she had her foot stomped at the rally, she can't be found.

BTW, I'm not on the death row imate (sic) side. I'm on the capital punishment side. And what's the deal with illegal aliens?

Really, Dell, the way you assume and make up crap about other posters is beyond irritating.

True, I most certainly don't hate Muslims like you do. I guess that anger and hate works for you, though ...

Dahoss 10-27-2010 09:25 PM

Both guys are assh.oles and they should be punished. What they did was disgusting. I don't care what she did. They were wrong.

But give me a break with the breast grabbing. I just watched the video again. He was restraining her (and wrong in doing it) but he isn't sexually assaulting her. There is no need to try and make this look bad, because it already looks awful.

Yeah, that seems to be a reach. This guy (Mike Pezzano) already came out yesterday and said he didn't know Proffitt was at the rally, didn't approve of what he did (the stomp) while he was holding the woman down.

Seems this guy got it right away that this was gonna be ugly and public. I didn't know he had "disappeared". Hopefully he's lawyering up.

Edit: click on the link above, again. There's an update. He's throwing his buddy under the bus. There's also a picture of him standing in a Lexington park, wearing what looks to be like an assault rifle. Good times at the Tea Party!

dellinger63 10-27-2010 09:33 PM

where's Gloria Aldred??? in all this

Riot 10-27-2010 09:38 PM

Mike Pezzano: "I was just trying to protect Rand. I was more worried about Rand's safety than I was anything else. It's like if someone yells fire... you don't just sit there. You do something,"

Bet he wish he had his gun with him! I'm sure the two Lexington Police officers standing about 15 feet away, and the suits that pushed the woman back from the car when she first held up the sign, were glad these bubbas were there to help. Especially after the cops already told them they wouldn't make her leave. Bet Rand is glad, too :tro:

If that was the start of it (holding up a sign they don't like to the car, which is perfectly legal, btw) - that further verifies her version of events - where they subsequently chase her all around the car to take her down. Only it adds being singled out, roughed up and jerked away from the car at the start of it all, too.

These guys are doomed in court.

But I"ll bet you don't expect, after you get pushed away from the Pope and that threat is gone, to be continued to be chased by the crowd, and held down and stomped on by other attendees who decide they are now in charge of "security"?

Hard to run fast in chaps, btw ....

You could attend a Rand Paul rally and propose gay rights, and I'm sure you will get shoved to the ground. Our next Senator doesn't believe in gay rights. I'm angry over that for you. It's not fair. You sex life is none of his business. How dare he throw his religion over your rights as a person. Of course, according to you I'm just an idiot, so probably Rand Paul is right on that.

She didn't. The suits in charge of that rushed her and pushed her back. Threat gone. The two Lexington cops were standing next to Paul. No, it's not against the law to shove a sign in the car window - she didn't even touch the candidate. Please, that happens daily in politics, with paparazzi, sports figures, etc.

The problem comes when after that, Bubba and his friends then took up the chase, chased her around the car, took her down, and stomped on her.

She'd been to other Rand Paul rallies. Bubba and friends knew her, and said they asked the Lexington cops to get her out of there. Cops said no. Why? Because having different political views is legal. Being an obnoxious MoveOn.org person is legal (as legal as being an obnoxious Tea Party person). Assault is not legal.

That's why there are assault charges and civil suits going again Bubba and friends, and not at the MoveOn.org person.

you're not JUST an idiot.. you are many other things also!!

I dont agree with Rand Paul about gay rights. I also wont be voting for anyone in Kentucky.. I'll probably be voting for Marco Rubio down here in Florida. He also I'm sure doesnt support gay rights. Gay rights may mean something to me, but it really doesnt affect my vote, because neither Republicans or Democrats do anything to help advance gay rights. Everything has been the same with obama and the Dem congress since 2006 than it was the 6 years prior to 2006. Obama says he's for gay rights, but his office asks for a Stay on DADT... and his Justice department released some very unkind words about gays in the past that I'm sure you remember. Dems will cater to the gays when they want their vote... but I dont see them actually doing anything about it. If Obama ever does get DADT out of the law books, I'll give him his props.. but he needs to actually come through on that before he is given the benefit of the doubt.

I dont vote based on abortion or gay rights. A lot of republicans have no problem with gays. Unfortunately, the ones who run for office seem to have to cater to the ignorant religious folks. But even when they had all the branches of the government for 6 years, no new anti-gay laws were put in place.. they just carried on Clinton's laws. (a dem, btw).

Gay rights will be sorted out in time. this type of "change" doesnt occur over night. The vast majority of today's youth are accepting and rational. Old people will die off pretty soon.

IMO, there are much more important matters going on in this country to vote for someone based on gay rights, when I know said someone isnt going to do anything for or against gay rights anyway.

That is why I'll vote conservative. I dont care for either party, but the conservatives are slightly less of an evil. only slightly though.


Now when it comes to the issue of crazy moveon bitc.h.. I'm sure you saw in my post where I said the Rand Paul guys are dumbasses, and that no man ever has the right to push a woman to the ground. You ignored that part as usual. But if you think that this woman was just some innocent victim, than we really dont have anything to discuss about this topic. You cant do what she did and expect people to just watch you thrust signs into Senate Candidates windows. If I would have done that, I would have expected to be restrained. Plus, I'd be willing to bet that all adults have been pushed to the ground at one point in their life... this story does not deserve all the attention it is getting.

Pushing someone to the ground shound amount to 3 months probation and 50 hours of community service.

If the crazy bitc.h sues the men.. then she loses all credibility. She got pushed to the freaking ground! and a guy held her down on the ground with his foot on her shoulder! the men were idiots, and if I were a straight Kentuckian.. I sure wouldnt want to date a man who would push a chick to the ground. but doggonit, people are acting like she was shot 16 times, tied to the back of Rand Paul's car, and drug through the streets.

I say men that would attack a women, as a group, while they are right next to police officers - including that excuse for a man who walked up and stomped on her once she was already laying on the ground in a fetal position completely passively (and now wants an apology from her )- because they didn't like her politics (or sex, or skin color, or religion, or sexual orientation) is definitely the start of that hate crime slope.

I do. I have since I was 20. And I don't tolerate their intolerance (which is very common in my age group, against many things, unfortunately).

It's hard to fight intolerance. Look at all the rude, nasty personal attacks you and others here post against people who dare to disagree with your political views.

Intolerant assholes are everywhere.

not everything is black and white.

How many times do I have to say that the Rand Paul guys were dumbasses and sorry excuses for men?

But there would have been no story at all.. no chasing.. no getting pushed to the ground, if she wasnt crazy and ran around the people standing infront of her and ran at Rand Pauls car & infront of his car, etc. She instigated a group of morons with her own moronic behavior. Two morons dont make a right.

I had a friend who was called a "nigg.." by some punk kid so my friend hit him. My friend happened to be a very strong college football players and broke the punks face in 4 places with one punch. My friend got charged with assault. But was the punk kid not a moron who instigated the situation?
