So this guy allegedly attacks Rand Paul while Rand is cutting his grass. Paul suffers 5 broken ribs. And now the alleged assailant is out on $7500 bond? He allegedly tackled and assaulted a US Senator.
$7500?
(From Vanity Fair)
On Sunday, however, Pauls chief of staff told The Washington Post that the injuries the senator sustained were much more severe than initially disclosed: five of his ribs are cracked, his lungs are bruised, and the pain is considerable enough that Paul could be unable to fly for some time, potentially upending the upcoming tax-reform debate in Congress.
Days later, it remains unclear why the assailantPauls 59-year-old neighbor, Rene Boucherattacked 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 didnt go far enough in severing federal aid. The F.B.I. is investigating the incident, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
I suspect if they were Bernie Sanders’ clippings there would be a lot less rage.
“...while Rand is cutting his grass.”
After seeing the houses, I’m surprised anyone in that neighborhood cuts his own grass.
Maybe Paul was cutting down the neighbor’s “grass”, although, Paul is a Libertarian.
I have a feeling a woman is involved.
Of course. Arguing is one thing, breaking ribs comes from really strong anger.
Rand should have him served with a no-contact order holding him to 1000 yards. That would effectively evict him from his house.
Very true. My fear is that it will be up to the people to fix this issue. The RINOs are obviously are not up for the job.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes, we need warrior Republicans who will look the liberal fascist beast in the eye without flinching.The RINOs have to go, dinosaurs claiming their Darwin awards .
Honestly, I am never encouraged when I see that the FBI is investigating anything. They need to clean up their act.
While in His house he is exempted.
They were probably just following the guidelines: $7,500 bond if you are accused of assaulting a Republican politician, $750,000 bond if you are accused of assaulting a Democrat politician.

The unwritten rules...
We have an overabundance of lefties in N.J. Please don’t send us any more.
Yes, it was. And that makes it a terrorist act.
The RAT was a trained medical doctor and would have known the damage that he could well cause. He wasnt an obtuse 79 IQer playing the knockout game.
He is a pain specialist. Think he didnt think about how to inflict maximum suffering? He needs to be locked up for the maximum sentence.
So when a rat attacks you on your property it is a dispute? Absolutely no bias there.
Look!! Squirrel
the FBI?? they’ll haul in some of Paul’s aides to interrogate and then try to flip ..
“He put dog poop in the compost heap, DIDN’T HE!!”
That’s what I was thinking. The terrain doesn’t support the story.
The Rats are commiting all the violent acts that they routinely accuse Tea Party and Trump voters of committing. This neighbor should be arrested for attempted murder of Senator Paul. Imagine if Hillary or Senator Warren were attacked in this manner, the MSM would lose their minds.....
or a man?
