Thirty-nine-year-old Ilario Pantano, who is running for North Carolina's 7th congressional district as a Republican, was charged with the premeditated murder of two Iraqi civilians in 2005 while serving as a second lieutenant with the US Marines.[...]
"I believed that by firing the number of rounds that I did, I was sending a message," Pantano told the New York magazine.
And, on the heels of a GOP candidate's use of soldiers to arrest a journalist...
Life in prison, I think would be appropriate for the stomper, who has been identified. And I am entirely and truly serious about that. This is not just wingnutery. This is Nazi/Gestapo action, and it's what we're looking at for the future of this country.
Rand Paul’s response:
"There was a bit of a crowd control problem," Paul told Fox News' Martha MacCallum. "I don't want anybody though to be involved in things that aren't civil.""And it is an unusual situation to have so many people so passionate on both sides jockeying back and forth," he continued.
"It wasn’t something that I liked or anybody liked about that situation. So I hope in the future it is going to be better," Paul said.
I followed some links from watertiger's blog about this and found this creeps "apology" in which he claimed that the angle of the camera made it look worse than it really was!!! He stomped on her head...how could a camera angle make that look any worse than it really was??? This is a sick, sick world.

i don't know if you saw also that in the complete film, the woman was pursued by the gang who surrounded her before paul arrived, chased her around the car when he did arrive, and took her down; and that the degenerate who stomped her was about to stomp her a second time (which is apparent in the film clip) when one of the other thugs stopped him. left to his own devices, he might well have killed her. she had it coming, you know. as so many women do.
