Today, Profitt says he fears for his safety and has received numerous death threats after others have watched the incident on tape. He says his actions were misunderstood. 'I feared for his safety," Profitt explained. In the video, it appears to some that 23-year-old Lauren Valle is wrestled down to the ground by Rand Paul Supporters and then stomped on. But to Tim Profitt, the the situation is much different. He says what the video doesn't show is Valle's aggressive behavior. Profitt says she rushed Paul's car three different times; each time refusing to stop. He says at the time, he didn't know what she was trying to do. "We thought she was a danger; we didn't know what she was doing." Profitt explained that he used his foot to try and keep her down because he can't bend over because of back problems. He also says police were alerted to watch her before Paul arrived because people in the crowd recognized her as someone who may try and pull a stunt. Valle, a Massachusetts native, later identified herself to police as a contract worker for the liberal activist group "moveon.org" who was hoping to get her picture taken with Paul with a sign. The sign was a satirical award that would be used to embarrass him. Profitt says he never meant to harm her. "if she can hear this... All I was trying to do was hold her until police could get her." Profit also says he wished things had never escalated to the level they did. Valle has worked as an activist for several groups, including Greenpeace and was arrested with 6 others on felony charges in May in Louisiana for defacing a drilling boat following the gulf oil spill. In August of 2008, a Lauren Valle was also one of 5 members of 'Students for a Free Tibet' detained in Beijing, China for unfurling a "Free Tibet" banner in Olympic park. "I think she was there for a reason... And that was hurt Rand Paul." Profitt does face fourth degree assault charges; he says this is the first time in his life he's ever been on the wrong side of the law.

He STOMPED on her head, he didn't just use his foot to immobilize her! He also says police were alerted to watch her before Paul arrived because people in the crowd recognized her as someone who may try and pull a stunt. A stunt! No one thought she was a threat!

To: Destro (#1) So he admits America's current medical system does not work? good one! Yes, those back problems give him road rage.

The Tea Party movement is bringing out the hidden demons a certain group of people have long suppressed it seems. Destro posted on 2010-10-27 10:36:08 ET Reply Trace Private Reply #4. To: Destro (#3) The Tea Party movement is bringing out the hidden demons a certain group of people have long suppressed it seems. So much hate and anger, not healthy for anyone. And it is misplaced anger too. The money behind the teabaggers is Big Money, and they don't want them looking into their affairs and real agenda.
