From CNN ( TITLE: This Rand Paul story keeps getting weirder and weirder (and weirder) )

(EXCERPT)
(CNN)The story of Rand Paul allegedly being attacked by a neighbor — and breaking six ribs in the process — is strange on its face.
The initial explanation offered by some neighbors of both men and the attacker’s lawyer — that the episode occurred due to a dispute over leaves or grass trimmings — was even stranger.
Rene Boucher pleaded not guilty Thursday morning in a Bowling Green courtroom to misdemeanor fourth degree assault charges stemming from the Nov. 3 incident in the gated community where the two men live.
Paul’s decision on Wednesday night to tweet two stories — one from Breitbart, the other from the Washington Examiner — that call into question the flora and fauna explanation is even stranger still.
Both stories feature quotes from other neighbors insisting that the initial reporting that this attack was the result of a “landscaping dispute” (how amazing is that phrase?) is, in fact, fake news.
“The stories of a ‘landscaping dispute’ or a dispute of any sort between Rand Paul and Rene Boucher are erroneous and unfounded,” a Paul neighbor named Travis Creed told the Washington Examiner. “The reason for Mr. Boucher’s bizarre attack is known only to him. Statements to the contrary are irresponsible and unnecessary.”
The two stories — which have lots of similarities, including the quote above from Creed — appear to represent a concerted effort by Paul allies to not only raise questions about the current story of the attack but also suggest that the real motivations of Paul’s attacker were political.

It doesn’t much matter if the dispute was about politics or about a tree that was overhanging the perp’s property. Attacking someone from behind and causing serious physical injury is not going to be mitigated based on the nature of the quarrel.
So he “roughed himself up” like George Zimmerman?
It’s a Misdemeanor, just like purposely giving somebody AIDS in CA.
The good news is, in MA owning a Bump Stock is a Felony that can get you Life In Prison.
Yep, things are just grand in the good old USA.
Yet another assault by a leftist.
This ongoing smear campaign of President Trump is mostly a battle to keep and stand by the Constitution....just a short time ago a leading NPR news hen said "I wish Trump would quit mentioning the Constitution so much" or words to that effect.
This is a federal felony with a 10 year sentence.
Why is this guy still walking around on $7,500 bail?
This country has gone completely off the rails.
All bets are off.
What is going on? This guy was serkously undercharged?
I don’t understand how breaking a half dozen ribs that could have easily punctured a lung and killed is a misdemeanor? That’s serious assault with intent to kill. Guess this is my opinion and or my absolute ignorance of most laws but I do not see how this can be a misdemeanor.
Money or sex
religion or politics
This turd attacked a Senator...that’s a felony, Dr Dunce.
Not guilty? How can you assault someone and not be guilty. Was his body borrowed for the assault?
Rand Paul was also at the baseball practice where the shooting took place. Is someone trying to target him?
Hopefully Rand will wind up owning this a$$hat’s home at the end of this and then he won’t have to worry about the “neighbor” thing anymore.
so what does he say did happen then?Yeesh, is it six ribs now? Bud, you’re going to jail.
