Profitt says he fears for his safety and has received numerous death threats

http://www.wkyt.com/wymtnews/headlines/Stomping_suspect_says_his_actions_were_misunderstood_105826253.html

<snip>

Today, Profitt says he fears for his safety and has received numerous death threats after others have watched the incident on tape. He says his actions were misunderstood.

'I feared for his safety," Profitt explained.

...

But to Tim Profitt, the the situation is much different. He says what the video doesn't show is Valle's aggressive behavior. Profitt says she rushed Paul's car three different times; each time refusing to stop.
He says at the time, he didn't know what she was trying to do.

"We thought she was a danger; we didn't know what she was doing."

Profitt explained that he used his foot to try and keep her down because he can't bend over because of back problems. He also says police were alerted to watch her before Paul arrived because people in the crown recognized her as someone who may try and pull a stunt.

3. Sure, we can't allow any "stunts' to be pulled
now can we? Anyone who pulls "stunts" deserves to be beaten. New Republican law.

19. Why wasn't he beaten? Oh, wait, I know.
He's a Republican. It's OK if you're a Republican.

5. If you're that worried, guy, you can get police protection simply by turning youself in.
You are, after all, wanted for assault now.

6. awww, geee, big tough guy now scared--how does it feel, creep?
you are a liar, a bully, a thug, and a hate-monger. I doubt seriously you are getting death threats, because dems don't operate that way-- can we say projection?

do you need to change your underwear now? you got your rocks off assaulting a woman, repeatedly--and now you are surprised that people have taken umbrage.

may you and yours receive everything you deserve

10. Some of the old freeper treatment? As Bob Dylan wrote, "How does it feel?"
Positively 4th Street
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning

You say I let you down
You know it’s not like that
If you’re so hurt
Why then don’t you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that’s not where it’s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You’re in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I’d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don’t know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it

When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I’d rob them

And now I know you’re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don’t you understand
It’s not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you

11. On behalf of the woman he headstomped and the imaginary people threatening him, I apologize.
:hurts: - Wait for it. When I flush, your apology will be on the way.
