That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

i thought that was just one of his rabid supporters?  (which just means that he isn't the analog of the pumped up cops, but rather the deputized uber citizens...)

Nope.  It was his security chief.  Whom he refused to fire, and whose actions he refused to condemn.  And Rand Paul was still elected, because stomping on a woman's neck seems to be okay with the good people of Kentucky.

If you want to see the future of America, just look at Rand Paul.  HE doesn't step on your neck...His people do.  While the po'buckers cheer 'em on.

This country deserves everything it gets, and having that shitneck in the Senate is just the beginning.

When asked, he just smirked at the reporter, IIRC.  Later on, he gave some bland non-answer, which of course was immediately accepted as the last word by our glorious free press.

Watch the video...It's on Youtube.  They have the girl down (signs are an obvious assassination threat), and Paul's press guy has her arms, and fatboy security goon lunges in and bounces off the back of her neck with his foot...Putting ALL of his weight on her (how her neck didn't break is beyond me).  Press guy freaks out about it, but not enough to quit or anything.

It seems he was fired, but it's not clear exactly when, or for how long, or whether he was rehired to another position, etc.

$600 and a year of unsupervised probation ain't shit, really.


http://www.lex18.com/news/rand-paul-supporter-accused-of-assault-enters-alford-plea-in-case

QuoteA Rand Paul supporter charged with assaulting an activist before the November election has entered an Alford Plea in the case.

Police say Tim Profitt stepped on 23-year-old MoveOn.org activist Lauren Valle while she was on the ground before a debate in Lexington between Paul and Jack Conway.

Profitt said he was trying to protect Paul when Valle approached the candidate with a fake award. Profitt then lost his job as the Bourbon County coordinator for the Paul campaign.

An Alford Plea means Profitt recognizes there's enough evidence for a conviction, but he's not addressing the facts alleged. Profitt will pay Valle $600 restitution. Profitt, who is currently out of state, will also serve one year of unsupervised probation.

Back in April, a judge refused a request by Profitt to have the charges against him dismissed.

Yep.  I do remember that he wasn't immediately fired.

And asking for the charges to be dismissed would have led to very different results if I were the judge.  The sheer, unmitigated gall would put me up a tree.

People like him think they're the good guys, and those who oppose them are the bad guys, and they just don't understand why some people don't seem to get that.

It's true of almost every despot and authoritarian asshole in the history of mankind. Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, Bin Laden, Reagan... they all thought they were The Hero of the Story.
