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

[Dark_Horse_Rider]

Things look to be going more sideways by the day. Like everything coming out of the media lately, this whole story is just bizarre. What are the odds that someone attacks Rand and gets a small bond at the same time Rand is looking to make bond procedures an issue (though can be argued that bond is a state issue, not a fed issue). And the Sheriff's office screws his name up so badly in the booking record but the media knows exactly how his name is spelled correctly? It's all just very strange.

I agree, something very screwy about this.

Possible Motive Discovered In Attack On Rand Paul – It’s BAD…

This is upsetting. Broken bones cause a lot of lasting damage and discomfort.

Hopefully Rand will be able to get this guy out of his house so he can live in peace.

Sue the bastard, civilly, and take his house and everything else and leave him walking the streets.

What is coming up in the near future that THEY want Rand out of action for?

Possible Motive Discovered In Attack On Rand Paul – It’s BAD…

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) suffered minor injuries after being assaulted at his home in Bowling Green Friday afternoon. Now, we know a possible motive in the crime.

According to the Daily Caller, records with Kentucky State Board of Election show the alleged assailant, Rene Boucher, is a registered Democrat. Fox News also noted that “a person with his name also works as an anesthesiologist in Bowling Green.”

The Daily Caller also revealed that a Facebook account that appears to Boucher’s contains multiple anti-President Donald Trump postings.

On May 17, Boucher posted, “May Robert Mueller fry Trump’s gonads,” a reference to the former FBI director’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.

There are no postings on the account about Paul, though there are many others that criticize Republicans in general.

Boucher shared posts from Occupy Democrats, a popular Facebook page for liberals and progressives.

He shared one Occupy Democrats post that cited left-wing academic Noam Chomsky’s criticizing the Republican party as “the most dangerous organization in world history.”

A neighbor who witnessed the assault told WNKY-TV that Paul and Boucher are next-door neighbors and Paul was mowing his lawn at the time of the assault. According to the neighbor, Paul and Boucher share a corner adjacent to their homes and they have been embroiled in an ongoing feud.

Boucher was arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault. He could spend up to 12 months in jail if guilty.

Secession, Now.

It doesn't really work when you are all clumped together, unfortunately. In 1861 the differences in ideology were neatly drawn along regional borders, perhaps with the exception of the Mason-Dixon areas. This guy was his friggin neighbor, and I think we both know what neighbors are good for.

What is more likely to happen is a "Bleeding Kansas" situation where people are just beating each other in the streets. Hell, it's already starting to look like that, even in the well-to-do communities of doctors. Bring it on, I say. We're just delaying the inevitable.

Just heard about this last night... hope he'll be alright.

It is not easy to break multiple ribs. Such an injury would have to be caused by use of lethal force. Why are these charges not more severe than "4th degree assault?"

The page said Boucher is a former Army pain-management specialist and graduated from the College of Osteopathic Medicine in Des Moines in 1984.

Given his education/profession, it would seem he'd have some knowledge of how to maximize injury to his victim, eh?

Dang, that's really bad. I just bruised a rib once and it hurt to breathe for weeks.

So did I.

The doctors said that bruised ribs hurt more than broken ones do. Apparently if your ribs break it relieves pressure but the bruised rib just swells and is irritated by breathing.

I thought I was having a heart attack.

I thought I had punctured a lung. I slipped in the shower and my rib cage hit right across the side of the tub and the whole way to the emergency room I thought, so this is how it ends for me.

News says Rand was tackled from behind, causing the injury. But this whole thing stinks....

Rand and co. downplayed the injury...

Only misdemeanor charge for the perp...

Guy is a fellow doctor in his neighborhood at his house...

I don't think we are getting the whole story here. My mind immediately went to "guys only do this when women or money are involved".... hope there's no funny business here.

They are calling it "high velocity severe force."

Sounds like a baseball bat.

You thinking Rand may be doinking the perps wife?

I'm saying I have no idea, but it sounds fishy to me. Some are painting this as a 'Bernie supporting socialist attacked Rand Paul over his stance on healthcare' etc etc. But if so, why did Rand downplay the incident and his injuries?

I'd be lying if I said the thought didn't cross my mind that there is more here than what's being reported...

No, if anything his son nailed the perps daughter but there is no evidence of that beyond them being fb friends.

Tackled from behind. No weapon used.

Let's not start pushing ugly unfounded rumors. Next you know we'll have people here posting pics of various politicians with bruises on their face next to randals' and saying it was an initiation into some satanic cult.

5 broken ribs is a misdemeanor?

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Trump derangement syndrome.

Maybe the son is doinking the neighbor's daughter and Rand is doinking the neighbor's wife and Rand's dog is doinking the neighbor's dog...

Whatever the case, I'm glad to hear Rand is going to be ok. If the guy had hit Rand's head as hard as he hit is rib cage we would be in mourning now. Rand needs to be armed for sure and maybe he was. Sounds like the guy sneaked up from behind and pounced.

An example of right thinking.

That's what I'd like to know.

Smells like Class-A felony to me.

Unprovoked, major injuries, with little doubt of it being a politically motivated attack on a US Senator. Seems like it should be a small fine. Surely if some other Senator were attacked like this it would be handled exactly the same way. /s
