Feel the same way.

And you know what the rules are.

Seems like they would usually never miss a chance to attack a once-registered Democrat and anti-Trumper for his attack on a Republican Senator and also use it as a broader attack on Democrats.

If politics were involved, you bet your a** they would though!

Good guess, if I had to say. I can't stand to look at the slime ball. Maybe the neighbor just saw the face of hate and hypocrisy and lost it.

At least he occasionally has an unpredictable vote, best I can say.
He is worse than his father. That seems to be a trend in politics. W was worse than his dad. Actually, I think as Politics moves farther to the right, inyegrith goes.down.

Maybe the neighbor got a lucky blow in and Paul took far more serious injuries than one would expect, but I have to wonder what the whole story is? The charges seem quite light for such a bad outcome.

A misdemeanor assault occurs in Kentucky when a person physically injures another person, without legal justification. Kentucky has four assault crimes: first-, second-, and third-degree assault, which are, respectively, Class B, Class C, and Class D felonies. The least serious assault crime is fourth-degree assault, which is a Class A misdemeanor

guy sustain some damages too?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

after being tackled?

this, a US Senator being beaten up, for it to be being kept so secret.

things that make you go hmm ...

Seriously....

for now.

though I didn't wish him physical harm.

it isn't hard to imagine the rest.

Maybe his neighbor just had enough.

Okay, that crap on his head loooks like a squirrel.

cheap motherfucker

My BF loves mowing the lawn. Sometimes he gets impatient when the grass doesn't grow quickly enough, so he just rakes instead.

But I'm wondering if the people who've guess that this was a property line dispute are on to something. Maybe Senator Paul was trying to encroach on his neighbor's land by purposely mowing outside of his own property? I lived in a (rental) house for a while where there was a dispute about which side an apple tree belonged in and feelings were strong, even thought the landlord didn't even live in the house and the neighbor never used that part of the lawn (and was fine with us sitting under the tree).

Given Rand Paul's Libertarian propensities, something like a property line probably looms large in his worldview.

It's not really a question of "does he like to do it". Presumably, he has the schedule of a US Senator, and isn't around to do it on a weekly basis.

On how many weekends does your BF need to stay hundreds of miles away for votes, quorum calls, or official travel?

Some people find yard work relaxing. And if he can stick it to his neighbor in the meantime, probably so much the better.

ridin' around mowing lawns that shouldn't exist is, in my observation, the most popular activity of the Ohio Valley.

Even though some will try to make it political because of their political positions, I think otherwise. Ya see, when Paul first move to Bowling Green, I had a business-like encounter with him. Paul is a smartass. They guy that led that meeting when i met Paul, had the final words that stuck with me. He told Paul that just maybe he should have had somebody read the contract, that understood the bigger words in it, before Paul signed it. I walked away with the guy that ran the facility as Paul stood back and barked like a little yappy-ass dog. I'd bet a dime to a dollar that this was a "business" issue. The attacker is an anaesthetist and likely has done work with Paul.

I didn't think they lived next door to each other

cannot wait to hear conjob on this.

I, on the other hand would sell plasma to be able to pay my guy to take of the lawn for me. I truly hate it.

We're talking at least 3 acres. I asked him about it and he said it relaxes him.

He is a big booster of his alma mater's football team. That's mostly in the fall. The summer is his quieter period of the year. He has a "busy season" at the beginning of the year

Wealthy people sometimes are.

Was Paul mowing up fallen leaves? If so, why not use a blower? The whole thing sounds strange.

Of course, I ignored the reviews that were added in the past week. If the site used "she" to describe the doctor's education and credentials, I closed it and moved on to the next one (that's just too shoddy to take seriously).

Apparently, the doctor is rude, won't look at the patient, won't treat anyone who smells like cigarettes, and accuses patients of just trying to get pain meds illicitly.

No matter what we think of Rand Paul, it looks like his neighbor is a fucking jerk who is capable of lashing out and has a real mean streak.

Paul is an ophthalmologist who has practiced in town since moving here with his wife in 1993…. Boucher is an anesthesiologist and the inventor of the Therm-a-Vest, a cloth vest partly filled with rice and secured with Velcro straps that is designed to help with back pain. He has worked at several local medical facilities through the years, according to public health records.

He was a pain in the ass to the guy that ran the place.

You know, like the time my neighbor wouldn't get rid of the dandelions in his front yard, so I went and clobbered him with a fireplace poker.

The fact that they are all being so tight-lipped about the causes says to me that this is a LOT more than a dispute over crabgrass. This is more like "Stay away from my wife, or the next time they'll be scraping you off your front porch with a spatula."

Like they're doing there.

THEN they would have arrested the neighbor. Maybe.

Days later, it remains unclear why the assailant—Paul‘s 59-year-old neighbor, Rene Boucher—attacked the senator in the first place. Jim Bullington, a former city commission member who knows both men, told the Post that the two, who live next to each other in their gated community, often engaged in heated exchanges about politics; Boucher is a vocal anti-Trump socialist, according to Bullington, while the libertarian Paul voted against an Obamacare repeal attempt because it didn’t go far enough in severing federal aid. The F.B.I. is investigating the incident, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

A former co-worker added that Boucher and Paul may have overlapped at Interventional Pain Specialists, a clinic in Bowling Green, around 2010, when Boucher worked there as a general pain management specialist and Paul, an ophthalmologist, had staff privileges. (It‘s unclear whether Boucher was employed at the time of the attack; the co-worker, David Ciochetty, told the Post that Boucher had “sustained a neck injury and could not continue his anesthesiology duties.”)

If I did I'd probably beat the shit out of them every day.

...like 'a 14 yr old girl'....slapping, whining, covering his face with his hands, curling up in a fetal position as the other guy kicks the crap out of him.... calling for mom, shouting 'stop it'.....then the two rolling on the ground getting all covered with grass clippings. whatta site.

But please forgive me while I snicker just a little. Sometimes, I think a good pounding might be all that would ever get through to any of the righteous assholes like Rand Paul.

But I don't condone violence, of course.

Seeing different reports

"Get him out of here...I'd like to knock the shit out of him"

"in the old days, they take that guy out on a stretcher"

I mean, who isn't experiencing schadenfreude over this?

Although, it would be more fun just to shave that poodle off of his head, and take pics and videos of the process!

a legal defense?

It almost certainly has to do with his neighbor's wife. There's a commandment or two about that, as I recall.

Five fractured ribs from a fight with a nearly 60 year old guy? And the light charge for so viciously attacking a US Senator?

Kentucky has four assault crimes: first-, second-, and third-degree assault, which are, respectively, Class B, Class C, and Class D felonies. The least serious assault crime is fourth-degree assault, which is a Class A misdemeanor

with serious anger issues.

I'm guessing Rand is not a fully innocent victim here.

Like messing with young wife or teen daughter personal.

Why didn't Rand have an assault rifle with him? This would have all ended so much better if both these guys had guns with them.
