Rand Paul assaulted at Kentucky home (UPDATE: 6 broken ribs)

The two men were anything but strangers. Mr. Paul and Mr. Boucher have lived next to each other for 17 years, and at one point even worked at the same hospital. Mr. Boucher practiced for many years as an anesthesiologist and invented a rice-filled vest used for back pain. He now lives alone, neighbors said.

Perhaps this will stop some of the nastier speculation going on.
 
Matthew J. Baker, a lawyer for Mr. Boucher, called the matter “a very regrettable dispute” between neighbors over a “trivial” matter.

The incident “has absolutely nothing to do with either’s politics or political agendas,” Mr. Baker said in a statement on Monday. “It was a very regrettable dispute between two neighbors over a matter that most people would regard as trivial.”

“We sincerely hope that Senator Paul is doing well and that these two gentlemen can get back to being neighbors as quickly as possible,” Mr. Baker said.

SMH, yeah sounds cozy and nice bet Rand would sleep well.

In Kentucky and in Washington, Mr. Baker’s comment about the “trivial” nature of the dispute prompted speculation about what had gone down, and how long Mr. Paul would remain at home.

Neighbors said it was well known that the men had strongly divergent political views — Mr. Paul is a libertarian who identifies as a Republican; Mr. Boucher is a registered Democrat. But they said the dispute had more to do with long-simmering tensions over their adjacent properties than politics.

“They just couldn’t get along. I think it had very little to do with Democrat or Republican politics,” said Jim Skaggs, who developed the gated community and who lives nearby. “I think it was a neighbor-to-neighbor thing. They just both had strong opinions, and a little different ones about what property rights mean.”

Asked about long-leveled allegations that Mr. Paul had disregarded neighborhood regulations, Mr. Skaggs, who is also a former leader of the county Republican Party, said that the senator “certainly believes in stronger property rights than exist in America.”

He has no base or serious support anymore. His supporters are too narrow, and not willing to put in the effort needed to get him over the line.

Some (many!) allies are incompatible. If you go left, you lose the right. That's what happened. The right wants deportation for illegal Mexicans, and does not want increased leniency for black drug dealers.

Nice thing about the right, they're pragmatic (and also politically hapless and pathetic) and thus very forgiving. If Rand shuts up about leftist issues and stops appearing in solidarity with Jesse Jackson or whatever crazed black leftists he was smooching with, and if he strongly helps push through tax cuts, immigration cuts, and deportation, after a few years of this the right will mostly forgive and forget.
 
Just one of the things Rand gets endure for being in the Senate. Even if this wasn't directly "politically motivated", I'm sure there was resentment that he was a US Senator getting away with whatever this dispute was.
 
As if the assault alone is not disgusting enough, the alleged motive for it is worse. Jim Bullington, a mutual friend of both Paul and Boucher, has come forward and described Boucher as a socialist. “He’s pretty much the opposite of Rand Paul in every way,” Bullington told The Washington Post. The neighbors had been known to have “heated discussions” about health care, Bullington said, adding that Boucher is an advocate of a national health system.

Uh no, that's not what happened at all. Nice try at revising history though. :rolleyes:
 
Rand needs to keep his wits about him. I sure hope he will consider something for protection.
 
wonder if he had a pre-existing condition. it would take a lot for a 59 year old man to break my ribs without a weapon involved. albeit Rand is a man of small stature and has zero close quarter combat ability.

Rand's neighbor of 17 years ambushed the good Senator while mowing his lawn and beat the stuffing out of him, cracking 5 ribs, knocking out 3 teeth, and possibly breaking his jaw.

From the comments at Naked Capitalism, this morning:
"I had a colleague die of this, well after the breaking. He contracted pneumonia and was unable to cough to clear his lungs. Senator Paul might benefit from admission to an intensive care unit, under the care of a thoracic surgeon, and a team of respiratory therapists, and treated with an epidural block. It seems his assailant used his training as an anesthesiologist, and an osteopath, to attempt murder."

Rand will certainly need to avoid the flu this year.

Never saw the part about broken jaw and three teeth. Can't trust the media on this. They will be giving this crazed Marxist an award soon, and blame it all on Rand.

Anyone who is over the age of 30 and decided it would be fun to go out and play tackle football again can attest to the ease of breaking things...

He tackled him from behind. I'd guess that once he was on the ground, he started kicking him in the ribs and face. That's what scumbags do.
