Tim Profitt, Alleged 'Rand Paul Stomper,' Due In Court

LEXINGTON, Ky. — A court hearing for a former volunteer with Kentucky Republican Rand Paul's Senate campaign has been postponed.

Tim Profitt has pleaded not guilty to a charge of fourth-degree assault for a videotaped scuffle during which a liberal activist's head was stepped on.

He was scheduled for a court appearance in Lexington on Tuesday. Assistant Fayette County Attorney Jennifer True tells the Lexington Herald-Leader the hearing was put off to gather more evidence in the case. A pretrial hearing is now scheduled for Jan. 11.

The videotaped Oct. 25 incident showed the activist being pulled down, her face pinned to the concrete and then being stepped on outside the final debate between Paul and Democratic opponent Jack Conway.

I'm not holding you personally responsible for Yertl or Rand Paul, don't hold me personally responsible for Frau Brewer, Reichsmarshall Arpaio or JT Ready and the Arizona National socialist movement. i didn't vote for them.

"the hearing was put off to gather more evidence in the case."

Videos showing the entire incident on national television are inadequate­?

If this brownshirt walks, it will be proof that Aquabuddha exists

TP will appear in court only if his 'bad back' permits.

These Tea Party jerks always talking of personal responsibility, but this guy has shown none of that. Since this incident, he has blamed the police, the girl, the media, and even his bad back. I hope he's locked up for a long time.

Does the US legal system apply in Kentucky?

It does, but it can be slow. Judges are pretty patient here and can sometimes give delays of about six weeks at a time.

Tim Profitt, with a wink and a shrug
Plead "not guilty" and looked quite smug.
But the incident on tape
Shows him acting like an ape.
He's really nothing but thug.

Court in Rand Paul's home state? Video will be surpressed, $500 fine for disorderly conduct.
Pay the clerk on the way out.

The good news is that the trial is in Fayette County, which is the most liberal place in Kentucky.
