Rand Paul assaulted at home
The Hill reports that Republican Senator Rand Paul was assaulted at his Bowling Green, Kentucky home yesterday by his neighbor, 59-year-old Rene Boucher;
“Senator Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault,” Kelsey Cooper, a spokeswoman for Paul, said in a statement. “The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police. Senator Paul is fine.”
Fox News reports that Boucher is a registered Democrat and that some posts on his Facebook page were of the anti-Trump variety.
A…neighbor told local news station WNKY said that the Senator was mowing his lawn around 3 p.m. on Friday when Boucher assaulted him. The neighbor also confirmed that the two share a corner adjacent to their homes and have been embroiled in an ongoing feud.
I’m not a Rand Paul fan because of his support for IVAW’s Adam Kokesh when Kokesh was running for Congress in New Mexico, but that doesn’t mean that Paul deserves to be assaulted by anyone.

Have to respectfully disagree Jonn, Rand Paul is on my list of politicians who have contributed to screwing up our country with their misguided views and would benefit from a good ass kicking.
Do not concur.
As much as I despise many Democrat pols, including but not limited to Pelosi, Clinton, Schumer, Wilson, Waters, Blumenthal, Cuomo, et al, I’ll never assault any of them over a property dispute.
That being said, Rene done fucked up at terminal velocity and deserves some serious jail time.
“Schumer”
Slowly I turn…inch by inch..step by step….
Moe Howard
That’s the Niagra Falls Lou Costello skit.
Do not agree. Paul is a strict Constitutionalist and while you may not agree with his decisions or views he is very consistent on not only this but his promises on the campaign trail.
Yet again, a member of the nonviolent left assaults someone.
Weirdly, pnd purely coincidently, on that day of rage 4 November thing.
Refreshing that the Sen was mowing his own yard.
Sorry, that was wrong. I’m sure John F’ing Kerry mows his too.
Kerry throws a tantrum about “The ‘Nam” and hurls medals (quarters) into his yard so “Hired Help” can scrounge them up and clean the area for any further accolades.
That ain’t yard care. It’s diplomacy, God dammit!
The Antifa war begins.
Oh, how I wish they would start a war. When I get down and need cheering up the thought of an antifa war turns that frown upside down.
Was out with HH6 at a function last night, head on a swivel, watching for masks and/or hoodies, prepared to unleash serious violence in defense of mi Coraź.
That would Corazon, with no acute …
I was cleaned, oiled, locked and loaded, where were the little shits at? Buncha mouthy-assed WUSSES!!! Let ‘em block a road in front of me and I’ll floor it, afterwards I’ll say “Yes I was in fear for my life, safety and well-being and I took what steps I saw necessary for self defense, I will make no other comments without Legal Counsel present.” I’m quite certain those little shits are very afraid of facing off against those who AREN’T afraid to defend themselves in Concealed Carry States.
I spent the day at a Cowboy Action Shooting competition, surrounded by well-armed and well-mannered folks, where even our token far-left troll is unashamedly and hard-core Patriot.
Oh -please- Br’er Fox! -don’t- throw them there idiots in -this- here briar patch! Oh no!
(Grin)
“Shooter ready….standby!…..”
Mowing his own lawn?
Did his attacker decide to strike during a publicity stunt?
Atomic wedgie?
Or perhaps a Clint Eastwood quote.
call the surveyor and put up a 12 inch fence, so nobody mows the other’s grass. Plus, carry a snake gun when you mow the other side.
Just stay the hell away from that corner. People almost died over it.
Ok, I’ll stop now.
BUILD THE WALL!
No offense, but what the hell does that mean. Build a wall in Kentucky. Are you implying that we build a wall around every Dem’s house. (tongue in cheek) unless clinton paid for it LOL
Morons are morons. That is all. Paul (IMHO) sucks. Fair.
Doesnt deserve an ass kicking for mowing a lawn.
Had a neighbor that kept pushing the property line by mowing over it. After a few years he had his boat and a pile of debris well onto my property. I had a nice fence installed after moving all his stuff back onto his property.
The next day the guy is threatening to sue me. If I had not put an end to it within twenty years he would have taken it by adverse possetion.
He moved away the next year.
Wow, 29Limabeans, what a mess you went thru. I know it was frustrating…and you did the right thing.
Why on heavens earth did HE sue YOU? Sounds as if he had the case of 42265 or the Forgin Frank disease or the pURpLe
plAuGE…
“Why on heavens earth did HE sue YOU?”
Didn’t get that far.
I had a warranty deed and a survey
map with pins in the ground. His attorney straightened him out.
In my world it means build a 12’high wall and fill it with water
I believe it was his next door neighbor. Seems they have been feuding for a while. I agree politics or not no reason to hit a guy.
IVAW = Losers.
Let them fight.
Who cares? I do not.
I have 20 bucks on the other guy.
Seen similiar (and sometimes ridiculous) cases such as this on Judge Judy.
But not one involving a Politician.
She is brutal-tells it as it is.
Wonder what the outcome of the Cat Whisperer’s case would have been if Judith Scheidlen had been the Judge….
She definitely would have sent him to the pokey instead of sending him to the do the hokey pokey. When he gets his $300K he will be doing the happy dance. Anyway, until he gets his attorney’s bill and realizes he owes more than that.
It’s a good thing that Senator Paul’s neighbor from hell didn’t have a gun or we would be needing a new senator from Kentucky.
The left wing of this country is out of control, completely out of control and there will be more incidents like this or the one where the #libidiot tried to kill all of them in Virginia…
I’m telling you boys and girls, there won’t be a real war going on in the future, but there will be numerous incidents like this and the attempted gunning down of Senate and House GOP.
The only reason that we won’t have a real war is the left is completely disorganized and incapable of handling anything that requires anything like organization…
Story title should have been attacker sent to hospital. Instead Rand got hit and did nothing. Bitch card pulled.
Rene is probably looking at 90 days under observation in a mental ward. He may be drugged involuntarily, depending on his “symptoms”. His medical contact probably speaks english as a second or third language; the folks with the keys will not be very helpful, either.
If he talks sh## or is quarellsome with others, he may be away from home a long time. Then the State will send him the bill.
While he is away illegal immigrants will move onto the property and spray paint the house with graffiti…eeerr art and fill his boat with water to use as a pool. There will be little children playing in the dirt while mom and dad cook meth in the garage.
Is this an attempted Bernicide?
Being a liberal is a mental disorder
Rand Paul is a self proclaimed libertarian, and libertarians tend to feel they can do what ever they want and if it bothers you well to bad. They tend to strongly feel protective over their property boundaries but ignor anyone else’s
Libertarians see being selfish as a virtue which is one of many reasons they have few in the military
No fan of Rand Paul, think his dad is a kook, but he seems to be one of the ones like the Freedom Caucus holding the rest of the two-faced RINO’s feet to the fire over Obama Care, the Fence, etc.
@old soldier. So young Rand wants to put his hair in place he asks his Dad-Kooky, Kooky lend me your comb. Sounds like a 50’s novelty song HMMM.
I guess the grass always looks greener on the other side. Maybe he can hire a Fence to sell the grass. He could have utilized a “blade” of grass to defend himself or put the blade of grass between his two thumbs and blow through it to make that razzle sound to call for help.
That’s like two cahew nuts were walking in Central Park. One was Asalted.
Speaking of grass, my neighbor was going to enlist his 1A draft dog to the Army, but then one day while he was mowing the lawn, he accidently ran over the sleeping dog so the dog ended up being “Defured” and didn’t have to join the Army.(maybe I have too much time on my hands typing out these Yolk/Jokes)
Senator Paul can really frustrate me at times but he does know the constitution front and back. He’s like the renter who drives you nuts always telling you everything wrong with your property.. and you have to fix it. But when he moves out your home is in great shape due to his constantly telling you.
Good to hear he mows his own yard..keeps a guy normal, even us surgeons. Our Congressman Walter Jones here in coastal NC also does his.
CAPT Bones (ret)
It was reported by online sites that Paul had 5 broken ribs, 3 of them displaced, and “lung contusions”. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-rand-paul-broken-ribs-20171105-story.html
Seems the assailant is a physician. Will an assault conviction have any effect on his medical license?
Medical Licenses are issued and maintained at the discretion of the issuing state. Aberrant behavior can result in disciplinary action. Pretty much anything can if the board decides it should.
Misbehavior reflects poorly on the profession.
