    I'm pretty sure you're on the money.

    I'm also pretty sure that if you slapped her like that and I had billions, I'd cover your lawyers fees.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Found this article and it was very vague but said this:

    Bowling Green, KY -
    Senator Rand Paul is recovering after a man assaulted the Senator at his Kentucky home on Friday November 3rd.

    According to Senator Paul's Press office, "Senator Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault. The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police. Senator Paul is fine.”

    Kentucky State Police say the Senator was not transported to the hospital.

    Police tell WNKY News 59 year old Rene Boucher of Bowling Green was arrested for the assault.

    He's charged with one count of Assault 4th - minor injury. Boucher remains in the Warren County Detention Center.

    WNKY has learned that Boucher is the Senator’s neighbor. The FBI believe that the attack was politically motivated.

    Punishment is gonna be even more harsh for assaulting a sitting senator.

    I bet Rand is gonna do something smart like only pressing charges for attacking him as a person and not elected official.

    Disagreement between Rand Paul and his neighbor over the senator's politics and his property line were possible motives in the Sunday attack that left the Kentucky lawmaker with five broken ribs, a source told NBC News on Monday.

    Paul was wearing headphones while mowing his lawn in Bowling Green, Kentucky, when he was attacked from behind by Rene Boucher, 59, on Sunday afternoon, two sources said. Paul suffered five rib fractures, including three displaced fractures.

    Paul managed to throw Boucher off of him and they exchange words, sources said.

    The two men had not spoken several years and a rift between pair possibly stemmed from Boucher's distaste for Paul's politics, as well as those of his father, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a source said.

    Paul and Boucher also had a previous disagreement about a property line involving a creek behind the lawmaker's house where Paul's sons would sometimes play, the source added.

    Boucher's lawyer denied that politics had anything to go with the fight.

    So if the dividing line is the middle of the creek, a fence doesn't seem be applicable to this situation.

    What an awful thing to have happen to such a good person. Congress is filled to the brim with corrupt, paid-off awful people and this guy chooses to attack one of the very small handful of people that are there for principle and a general desire to improve this country. I so much hope Rand will heal and these injuries will not come back to haunt him later on in life as chronic pain.

    Most U.S. prisoners are in prison for crimes where they did not physically harm other human beings: in those cases I completely agree with you. If they are not a physical threat, there are better methods of rehabilitating people. But in cases where a human being has actually physically harmed another human being, I disagree with you. They need to keep them away from society and from attacking others, including re-attacking their original victims. If they actually released from prison all of those who are there for reasons not including attacking other people physically, I think the price to taxpayers would come down dramatically; people involved in taking illegal substances, protesting, etc., and even theft where physical altercations were not involved, should not be put in a cage imho.

    It's not pure revenge. It's taking someone who is dangerous to innocent people away from those people so they cannot be physically harmed.

    In biology, it's not how you play the game. Mother Nature, like honey badger, just don't care. It's whose group can most effectively turn food and resources into children. He who does so, wins the future. It's crush and destroy or be crushed and destroyed.

    And there is, of course, far, far more than one way to crush and destroy. But then you knew that. Or did you?

    It's not about killing people.... at least not always. It is always about keeping them from having babies, or at minimum from having babies anywhere near you.


    Are white people with French ancestry a target group now? I'd better make sure I'm carrying my papers.
    No, socialists. Sorry, different thread, that you haven't seen.

    Basically, active socialists -- that is, criminals intent on looting property -- should be deported.

    Don't make it about race, man! What are you, a racist?

    The victim cannot "press charges." Only the prosecuting attorney can, it is up to their discretion and theirs alone, after a "complaint" has been filed. Which evidently it already has. Whether by Rand or, more likely, the police that investigated.

    You are talking about criminal charges. A civil lawsuit is another matter.

    According to Robert Wenzel at Target Liberty...

    UPDATE 18

    Both Capitol Police and the FBI are now investigating the incident.

    I'm sure they HAVE been "sparring over yard waste," or whatever, for years. That can be "politically motivated", too.

    'If "XYZ party" transgresses on my property then I shrug it off. But if it's "ABC party" I'm gonna flip out!'

    This stupid MSM wants to treat everything in a vacuum, as if nothing interferes with anything else. Of COURSE politics was involved here.

    After a decade of demonization by MSNBC and Rachel Maddow, a brainwashed and incited leftist attacks Rand because politics? Ludicrous!

    According to Rand's neighbor who spoke to Rand the day after the incident:


    “He is still unsure why he was attacked,” Mr. Porter said. “I don’t know if he knows why he was attacked.”
    Mr. Paul had just stepped off a riding lawn mower on Friday when Rene Boucher, a retired anesthesiologist who lived next door, charged and tackled him. Because Mr. Paul was wearing sound-muting earmuffs, he did not realize Mr. Boucher was coming, according to one of the Kentucky Republicans and a friend familiar with the altercation.

    “Rand never saw him coming or heard him coming,” said the friend, Robert Porter, who visited Mr. Paul on Saturday.
    Asked about long-leveled allegations that Mr. Paul had disregarded neighborhood regulations, Mr. Skaggs, who is also a former member of the county Republican Party, said that the senator “certainly believes in stronger property rights than exist in America.”

    I thought that was what tod was referring to. In any event having read the arrest warrant it was a State Trooper that was the affiant in this case. The neighbor admitted to it.

    In our upside down bizarro world, making a threat of breaking a Senator, politician or officials ribs on the internet is a far greater crime than ACTUALLY attacking them and breaking their ribs in the real world.

Unless they increase the charges, this whole thing is a joke.

    Come one come all. Got a ticket? Fantastic! Step right up. Keep throwing 'til you hit the bulls-eye.
    Yes, terrible precedent to set, but they'll let it slide for a Paul.

    Amazing that this can possibly be discussed as anything but a politically motivated attack.

    Especially after he was almost assassinated a few months ago for political reasons.

    Be armed, stay armed. This $#@! is starting to boil off, for real.

    I'd say you save your response for the establishment. I know this has reaffirmed my belief that Rand is a marked man and they were sending him a message. I think the only reason why he is still with us because he either has a dead man switch in place or they don't want to make him into a martyr. It sure makes sense if he has one though, he sure doesn't mince words when he criticizes the establishment and their sacred cows.
