I have to interject here.  It is clear from the video that he placed his foot on her shoulder, and then it slipped down on to her head when the friction of the sweatshirt against her undershirt gave way.  Anyone familiar with walking in the woods knows the force your foot exerts downwards when it slipps off of a log or a rock.  He wasn't intensionally "stomping" on her head.

Now, was there any reason for him to put his foot on her shoulder to begin with?  No, especially when someone else was already holding her down and people were calling for the cops.  The guy will probably be given a small fine and provide a public apology, but that's as far as that will go.  As far as the gal, she will probably have to make a written apology for her actions, but that's it.

This is a level-headed analysis. I'm not sure what you mean by "gal" needing to apologize, though. You think the woman who got stomped needs to write an apology?

She was the antagonist, attempting to make her way to the front of a Rand Paul rally, hold up her fake support sign, and make the natural supporters behind her unwitting accomplices in an anti-Paul photo op.  Without her actions, none of this would have happened.  She is not an innocent victim in this event.

But what did she do that actually warrants an apology? I can understand that her actions would have led members of the crowd to physically prevent her from moving up to Paul, and apparently they were acting out of serious concerns for Paul's safety. I therefore disagree with those who suggest that anyone in the crowd but the stomper did something wrong, at least as far as I can tell. But moving forward in a crowd doesn't need an apology. Trying to do a dumb political stunt doesn't need an apology. Getting pictures in a crowd doesn't need an apology. Generally being a dumb liberal activist doesn't need an apology. So what's her apology going to read? "I'm sorry other people misinterpreted my intention"?
