Lordy help me I clicked on the comments. Can we please write off the Left and just let the Right kick the shit out of them? Of all the Republican senators in D.C. they are celebrating and mocking Rand.

WaPo is the major media home of Trotskyites (neoconservatives), Marxists, Leninists and Stalinists. Their celebration of political violence is nothing new.

Jim Bullington, a former member of the city commission, knows both men. He said Sunday that Boucher is divorced and lives alone. Bullington described Boucher as a socialist.

That's all they care about. He's one of them.

Have you read the comments at Faux? SMDH...

It seems like commenters think there is more to the story. In this case it looks like motive is going to be the key.

 

[James Miller]

This was obviously a far-left assassination attempt against Rand.

It was either a lone wolf inspired by antifa or a Koch-funded conspiracy.

If the guy had hit Rand's head as hard as he hit is rib cage we would be in mourning now.

I morbidly thought the same thing. It seems pretty obvious the guy wasn't going for homicide.

According to the neighbor, Senator Paul and Boucher have had ongoing problems. Senator Paul and Boucher share a corner adjacent to their homes.

"share"?

Well there's yer problem.

Sheesh, prayers for some healing and peace.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Not to engage in hypothesizing without all of the facts, but if this guy invented a heat pad for pain therapy, you could imagine that he would like his product to be paid for in full by the government or health insurance (like those scooters). In other words, he could have a crony socialist enrichment motive at play, and Rand would be a hindrance to his evil plot.

According to Google, he's a DO in Bowling Green?

Can you please tell me what a "DO" is ? Googling these two letters including "public function" etc. etc. doesn't yield much useful.

A "District Ottorney" ?

Are you trying to make excuses for this scumbag?

motive

motive is going to be the key.

The attacker was a leftist extremist. His victim was on the extreme right.

The motive was definitely political, I will guarantee. The attacker's lawyers will come up with some other supposedly motivating incidents, parking on the street or playing music too loud or whatever, but it is political. Mark my words.

More fundamentally, it is temperamental. As I've sometimes been mentioning lately, political beliefs are correlated with all kinds of other beliefs, habits, tendencies, and lifestyle choices, and this whole web of thought and action is heavily biologically-driven.

People on the left are generally r-selected, like rabbits.

People on the right are generally K-selected, like wolves.

The two groups are really virtually two different species. There is a very deep-seated biological enmity between the groups. In a very real way: it's us or them. Life or Death. Survival or Extinction.

That's why this Rabid Rabbit attacked Rand.

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?"

I don't know but then again, I don't believe you particularly help society by locking up individuals for a very long time. It costs money and when they get out, have they become better people or better criminals ? Depends I guess... But on average you could say something about it. It's not restitution either, it's pure revenge. So no, let him pay the medical bills, any lost income and a big sum as restitution.

Fixed that for ya.

 

[helmuth_hubener]

I mean in the time he will be unable to be in the Senate.

Rand is K. He'll get to the Senate. Mark my words. If he cares about this country, he will crawl, he will hitchhike, he will rent a blooming blimp! He will do whatever it takes to be on the Senate floor voting to cut taxes, free healthcare, and help save America.

No question. This is his Hero's Moment. Rand on the floor in a wheelchair.... Rand fillibustering from a wheelchair....

He has just become ten times more powerful than he was before.

Same thing, man. But never hurts to emphasize that.

I don't know that r/K is entirely applicable within a species, but I'd wager that Moleneux has popularized it's use for his listeners.

A better description would be to use the Myers/Briggs categorization. The left tends to be "F", the right tends to be "T". The term "bleeding heart liberal" once illustrated that distinction.

Why not?

You should read the book!

Hopefully, he will be in a wheelchair but never be televised in a wheelchair. We will hear about it only in hushed whispers.

That's what I'd like to know.

Smells like Class-A felony to me.

I'm pretty sure if I slapped Nancy Pelosi across the face I'd be in jail for a very long time
