I was okay with restraining her and putting her on the ground because she reasonably could have posed a danger to the candidate. The foot stomp though? Totally unnecessary and unreasonable. It looked like the stomper was just pissed that he didn't get a piece of the action and wanted to get his proverbial two cents in. That summitch needs some time in the pokey to think about what he did.
The campaign should also be liable to this lady for damages. That's the risk you run when you have amateur hour maintaining your security.

if the candidate had a secret service detail, any person running up and shoving something through the window would be forcibly removed and arrested. after Valle was shooed away, she ran around the vehicle and tried to get a picture with Paul while he was being escorted away from the vehicle. putting her down and detaining her was the right thing to do.
Profitt stomping her after she was pinned was unnecessary and a reaction out of anger and adrenaline.
talking about this incident any further would only distract from the issues in an already divisive race.

Because they know how hard the world is for someone mentally retarded and they just want to make sure you're okay.

That took you all day? Did you go ask a 13 year old for his best put down or something?
