Head Stomp Victim: Paul Supporters Planned It

November 2, 2010 8:21 PM

The woman who was wrestled to the ground and kicked in the head for holding a critical sign at a Rand Paul event says that the violence was "premeditated" and that her partner heard Paul supporters say, "We're here to do crowd control and we might have to take someone out."

Lauren Valle spoke exclusively to CBS' "The Early Show" Wednesday.

Valle, a political activist hired by the liberal group MoveOn.org, attended a debate Monday night between Paul, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Kentucky and his Democratic opponent Jack Conway. When Paul arrived, she moved toward him so that he could see the sign she was holding and was wrestled to the ground by Paul campaign volunteers.

As she was held down, volunteer Tim Profitt placed his foot just below her head and stomped down.

a year on "unsupervised" probation?

What the heck is "unsupervised" probation?

That seems like pretty close to nothing.

2. Sounds like Tim and his friends are real toughies attacking a young woman like that.
Things are getting out of control.
