The crew at Talking Points Memo has been following this story. Sounds like Rand Paul's supporters really don't like people to disagree with them.

Situation developing in Lexington, KY, where a MoveOn supporter was attacked and stomped on by Rand Paul supporters.

Sherelle Roberts, a public information officer for the Lexington division of police tells TPM that investigators have made no arrests and filed no charges in the case. But because the incident was caught on camera, officers are optimistic that a breakthrough is imminent.

"I think we're probably going to come up with something later today," Roberts said, adding that tips have been coming in literally from around the country about who the suspects in the attack might be. "Because it was captured on video, we have a good idea what happened [and] at this point there doesn't seem to be anything to justify how this incident unfolded."

Though the victim of the attack, Lauren Valle, was interviewed by police on the scene for about 20 minutes, none of the suspects were questioned. Roberts explained the crowd was chaotic, and the perpetrators had disappeared into it by the time police arrived. TPM: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2....php?ref=dcblt
The identification of the Kentucky Stomper -- former Rand Paul volunteer Tim Profitt -- allowed Lexington police to issue a criminal summons in the case. He'll soon appear in district court and possibly face charges. But Lexington police say the investigation is still ongoing, and they may pursue the other Paul-supporters who participated in the assault.

"At this point, the investigation is still ongoing," public information officer Sherelle Roberts told ABC News. "We're looking into other individuals who may have been involved in the assault and could get charged."

A quick review of the video shows that multiple men dragged the victim -- Lauren Valle -- to the ground and one, ironically clad in a "don't tread on me" button, held her there while Profitt emphatically pressed her head into the ground with his foot.

That attack was disgusting. I hope Ms Valle also files a civil suit against Profitt and any others found to have been involved.

I wonder if any of them will be attending Jon Stewart's "Rally To Restore Sanity?"

I'm thinking they'd be more likely to be there for the Colbert/fear part of it.
