Remember this pathetic display from the Rand Paul debate with Jack Conway in Lexington Ky???
Tim Proffitt, stepping on the Moveon activist Lauren Valle for daring the be there to protest Rand Paul, who was in absolutely no danger whatsoever, as you can see in the video there were police officers present. Well, it took long enough, but finally a decision of what to do with this scumbag has been made.
Guilty though he wouldn't admit it, $600 fine, and a year of Probation.
A former campaign volunteer for U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was sentenced Monday to serve a year on probation and pay $600 in restitution for his role in an assault last October outside a Senate debate in Lexington.
Timothy Profitt's lawyer entered an Alford plea on his behalf in Fayette District Court to misdemeanor assault. An Alford plea means Profitt did not admit guilt but acknowledged that there is sufficient evidence to convict him.

Lauren Valle, an activist with the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org, tried to get close to Paul to present him with a mock award. After Paul supporters wrestled Valle to the ground, Profitt stepped on her shoulder and neck. Profitt later said he feared the woman was going to attack Paul.
Valle reported suffering a minor concussion, bruising, soreness and a sprained arm as a result
According to the story he has also moved from Central Kentucky due to the harrassment he claims he was getting for this incident. I guess they just wasn't as open minded about assaulting women as he would have liked them to be or something. I dunno.
Either way, good news even if the sentence is light. I certainly hope now that future political events here in Ky will be conducted with a bit more civility. It is embarrassing to me as a Kentuckian to have the citizens here behaving in such a fashion.
