I mentioned earlier that Tim Profitt, Rand Paul’s head stomping volunteer, issued a non-apology apology about his attack on Moveon activist Lauren Valle.

But TPM Reader AF points out that there’s a bit more along these lines. Profitt’s argument seems to be that not only did Valle have it coming but that the whole incident was partly the fault of the police for not proactively arresting Valle before Profitt and his friends had to rough her up and stomp on her head.

The AP says Profitt “criticized police for not stepping in and says other supporters warned authorities about the activist.”
