The man accused of assaulting Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul at his Bowling Green home last November has agreed to plead guilty, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana announced Friday.
Rene A. Boucher, 58, was charged with assaulting a member of congress resulting in personal injury after he tackled Paul on Nov. 3. Boucher told federal investigators that he and Paul had been neighbors for years, and the he’d “had enough” after seeing Paul stacking brush onto a pile near his property.
He'll be out in 10 months. pfffft.
Covfefe !!!
21 months for trying to kill a sitting Senator.
In other words flipped his lid after watching too much MSM broadcasting.
IF I understand the reporting, Rand was piling brush, etc., ON HIS OWN PROPERTY-—most likely for removal or burning.
The brush was NOT on the other guy’s property. IF anyone got after me for what brush/debris/lawn clipping I had ON MY PROPERTY, I would give them quite a tongue lashing.
There has no reporting indicating there was anything unsafe about the lawn clippings.
Should be ordered into a 2-4 year anger management course ... will need it after he gets raped in a civil suit.
Now on to the civil phase.
In additional to criminal charges, whoever assaulted Paul has exposure to a civil suit.
Some very-locals said their teens were necking and that snapped the liberal’s mind. I could see that.
He may get out a little before 21 months but there is no parole in federal court criminal system.
Hopefully the libtard will be forced to sell his home to pay legal fees and damages. I’m sure Rand doesn’t need this a$$hole next door after he gets out of lock up.
Something to consider.
I’ve said from the beginning that somewhere in all this is a woman.
If you rescue an angry man, he will do it again — the bible
I wonder why the fellow became so assaultively furious. I tend to doubt that it was because Sen. Paul was a senator; perhaps he simply happened to be the hapless victim of that fellow’s outburst of rage at that time and place.
But I’m also curious, why there isn’t Federal agent protection like there is for presidents, even if it’s not as intensive. In days of political violence like this, it might be possible to lose a number of GOP senators at once, tipping the country into a bad situation.
Kentucky Man is an idiot.
Talk about self-inflicted wounds...........
cherchez la femme?
The fellow who assaulted Paul was driven mad by woman troubles?
21 months. And the vermin that killed Kate Steinle gets nothing.
Especially a daughter... and I think that’s why Rand has been so non-vindictive about this. Extenuating circumstances. His wife understandably wants Boucher swinging from a rope.
So...if a sitting - or otherwise - government official moves next door to me, and we get into a neighborhood row, I can go to prison for standing my ground?
Paul wasn’t attacked for any governmental reason, or policy reason, or partisan reason...just over grass clippings - whether he was wrong, or right.
I guess the “elected class” have a lifelong immunity to everything.
Oh well...no free cataract surgery for Mr. Rene’.
