Tantamount to rape: the Lauren Valle takedown
When Lauren Valle was tackled and stomped on by Rand Paul thugs, all the talk was about the brutality of the head stomping. But something on the video is so evident, I'm surprised no one has brought it up yet.
Just after Valle is tackled and shoved to the ground, the tackler (identified by blogs as Mike Pezzano) reached around under Valle's arm and grabbed her left breast in a violent manner (approx. the 20 second mark on the video). It is obviously not a slip of his hand.
Surely, this is grounds for charges against the tackler more than the tackle itself. I don't think this bit of violence stops at the stomper, Tim Profitt. There is going to multiple charges and they will include blatant sexual abuse. If the guy who threw Valle to the ground is indeed Mike Pezzano, he could be in far more trouble than Profitt.
What happened to Lauren Valle is as close to rape as anything you will ever see. After this video, hell - it is rape.
