This is the video that the pro-face stomping wingnuts are circulating as "evidence" that a 23 year old woman with a sign posed the kind of threat that can only be dealt with by having fat guys with bad backs crush you:
That video shows me that the actual security people contained any possible threat within two seconds, and that should have been the end of it.
Where's the video that tells us why the rest of the cowboys in the crowd needed to subdue her and stomp on her? She approached the car, and a professional-looking security operative moved her back. The rest of the video shows Paul walking unimpeded and undisturbed into the debate.
Now, it turns out that the victim says that from the time she was pulled away from the car until the time she was tackled to the ground, she was being chased by her attackers, all the way around to the front of Paul's car.
Of course, RedState -- because they are idiots -- says of the very same video that it proves that no one chased her around the car, and that she was never in front of the car. But as anyone whose eye doctor is actually board certified can see, the video says otherwise, as Mediaite readers forced them to admit.
What it tells us is that the professional-looking security folks had dealt with whatever threat there might have been quickly and with a minimum of violence. Not only that, but she and her sign are clearly not considered enough of a threat to even keep track of for the next twenty seconds. And when she pops up again on the other side, she's blocked again, then tackled, and Paul proceeds indoors undisturbed. And once inside? The security wannabees crush and stomp on her, while professional security and police have long since taken care of the job that actually needed to be done.
