I rarely, if ever, make such a comment.
I was curious in this instance if I was the only one that read the post that had a similar reaction.
No harm intended.

you're not the only one.

In general, schadenfreude is fun. But, when violence and serious injury is involved, not so much. For one thing, karma is a real bitch, and for another thing, this just gives the rw sites more to criticize about progressives.

Now he's going to use his ACA

She was in agony for quite a while.

I'd like to say that is the kind of injury and pain I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy. Of course, I can't truthfully say that, but at least I acknowledge that particular one of my numerous shortcomings.

Idiot!

1. Those who only understand a problem when it affects them personally.

2. Those who still don't.

The stories not out yet, since they're both not taking about it- Saturday afternoon? fight must have been quite a spectacle.

hit a table on the way down.

or hit him with something like a tool or rake.

I'm mean he could have broken the ribs by just falling down but it sounds worse than that to me.

problem with staying still to long is the serious bruising in lungs.

His premium health care insurance covers re-hab- a real person will make house calls & make him breath deep. They'll try to avoid blood clots to the brain & heart, pneumonia in the bloody lungs.

Get well soon Senator and take your medicine! No more fighting with your neighbors.

Think about all those Americans slammed to the pavement by police- they have to heal without a Doctors care.

Starting at the top

It is one thing to know about it in an abstract way. Another entirely to experience it personally. He is a medical doctor and should have a better understanding than most of us of the medical process of having pain. But there is NOTHING like knowing first hand about pain to give him a clue of the amount of suffering some injuries can cause.

As an aside, I took a Forensic Anthropology course in college. On the first day of class we were each given a cardboard box of bones. (They came from people who donated their bodies to science/research or whose bodies went unclaimed.) Our assignment was to put together a forensic report telling as much as we could glean from the bones and using formulas to estimate height, weight and gender and cause of death, if possible. It was a gruesome task, at first, but in pretty short order I got accustomed to handling the bones and working on my assignment.

One of the first things I did was start arranging the bones in some semblance of a skeleton. There were missing bones and animal bones thrown in to some of the boxes to complicate the task. What became apparent immediately with several of the ribs in my box was the person had, at some point in life, had a number of broken ribs. The breaks came at an angle across the ribs, indicating at least three broken ribs. But the most striking feature was the huge calcification on the back side of several of the ribs where they had healed. They were large boney projections that I can’t help but believe MUST have caused a considerable amount of pain after they were healed because of their size and location.

I thoroughly enjoyed that class (once I got over the shock of carrying around a box of human bones and having a skull on my kitchen counter while I worked on my report!) It gave me a great appreciation for the work that forensic scientists from various fields do in determining what happened to a person during life and, if possible, how they died.

..I have a bag of bones I recovered from my land right before I sold it. I'm sure its the remains of one the many cats I lost over the years (to predators)..one day I may try to reassemble them but they will only tell me its a cat ( well I think its a cat!!)

I really had no idea when I signed up for the class exactly what we would be doing, but I was curious enough to sign up. My teacher was an expert in rebuilding faces on a skull to try to help ID who a person was. One day she rebuilt a half of a face using clay. It was interesting to watch her rebuild the structure of the face and see it come to life. It was rather lifeless until she inserted a glass eye. Oh, my! There was an audible gasp when she added the eye because the face then took on a very life like appearance. We could get a definite idea of what the person may have looked like alive.

There are also formulas to use to estimate height and weight of a person. Plus there are definite differences in hips and facial structures between male and female. So when trained experts work to ID remains they can use those formulas to get a better description of the person.

I get there was another mass shooting, a terrible tax bill, and Mr. Stupid goes to Asia oh and something vague about Hillary to cover, but Rand Paul seems like a wow thing.

attack the Senator. Maybe Randy was mowing the lawn before sunrise or something. Who can say?

It's going to be a rather interesting story.

We walk our dogs past it every day. On the garage, just above the big door, there's a sign. It reads:

"Asshole's Neighbor"

Now, I don't know the occupants of either home, but the home that bears that sign was the worst offender with noisy, illegal fireworks this past fourth of July. The next day, there were many empty boxes labeled as fireworks and purchased in a neighboring state at its curb.

I suspect that homeowner's sign should actually read:

"Asshole Neighbor."

I wonder what kind of neighbor Rand Paul is.

See, if we were the right, think of all the conspiracy rumors we could float...

The neighbor is also a doctor.

What on earth could have led to this pass?

absolute rage of a neighboring doctor? A doctor whom one assumes knows the legal result of such an assault? -- I hope we get to find out. I think maybe Paul is a real punchable fella, like that Nazi that got punched. . . but I have assumed there's a damn big reason that doctor was enraged.

No displacement, but cracked on around a 45 degree angle. As fast as a 15 year old heals, i was still very uncomfortable for about 3 weeks.

I concur that those really hurt.

Irony, anyone?

experience doesn't help everyone get karma's message.

j/k

...it took me 7 minutes to get out of bed. I CRIED when my husband called me to tell me to hurry clean out the closet as the guy repairing the water pump we have in there. That meant taking out all the winter coats and boxes and blah. I couldn't even breath without pain....and I have a very high pain tolerance.

This kind of injury sometimes (well, for me) doesn't even show up for 12 hours after the incident.. I can see where the pains worse the day after. I hope hes at home in bed!!

Getting out of bed is indeed a project and, yeah, for the first two days I felt kind of okay. Then on day three, I sneezed and all hell broke loose.

I hope he becomes hopelessly addicted and fucks up in his Senate position and loses it to a Democrat and then become homeless and shooting up in an alley somewhere for the rest of his life

during his campaign. Video at link. What goes around comes around - as we say here.

Scroll down for video of the incident

An ugly scene took place outside the Kentucky Senatorial debate Monday night as what appeared to be a supporter of Republican candidate Rand Paul was captured by a local news affiliate literally stomping the head of a member of the progressive-activist organization MoveOn.org.

The MoveOn volunteer, Lauren Valle, went to the hospital after explaining what had happened to local press. As of 11:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time she remained there, according to another MoveOn official. According to a local Fox station, Valle had attempted to approach Paul before the debate took place, dressed in a blonde wig and with a “RepublicanCorp” sign mocking him as a stooge of special interests.

Attendees around Valle are heard screaming, “get the cops” as cameras captured her being dragged to the pavement by her red sweater. Once on the ground a man wearing white sneakers pushed the sole of his shoe down on her head.
