Worse - as the two stories don’t line up.
Had Rand just stepped off the mower (with ear protection on), or was he actively carrying limbs and branches as the attacker claims?
Seriously - if there were never any “words” - yet this neighbor was angry about a pile of limbs? A pile of limbs that were not even on his property? And he took it on himself to haul off the first pile, then to use gasoline to burn a supposed 2nd pile (causing 2nd degree burns to himself in the process? You mean he started a fire on property that wasn’t’ even his own? The attacker’s story just doesn’t make much sense... He never complained? He never pursued possible neighborhood/property owner’s regulations? He didn’t say a word - just suddenly snapped and attacked the Senator?
The story doesn’t make any sense at all - dude needs to be locked up.
I think it’s a failure to communicate on both their parts, they never actually talked about it to each others face.
Yeah, this is a BS story.
