Rand Paul Attacked in His Home
« on: November 04, 2017, 06:29:03 PM »
Since Paul is reported to be okay, I'll get political and hope it wasn't a conservative who attacked him.

It says he was attacked by a neighbor, so I would guess it's some non-political dispute between the two. Plus, the neighbor is a boy named Rene. Johnny Cash warned us about that type.

Oh, that's an update since I first read the story. Yeah, might just be a feud.

According to The Daily Wire, local police are calling it politically-motivated.

It's not his fault. I'm sure Paul triggered him in some way.

Sure he did. The neighbor is a Democrat and a doctor. He's probably irked that Rand is trying to repeal Obamacare.

Scratch the "minor injuries" as reported by the MSM. Five broken ribs.

Stafford said Sunday that the broken ribs include three displaced fractures, which can lead to life-threatening injuries.
I am going to assume that messed up a lot of cartilage also.  Sounds painful.  I am curious how the attack went down.

Since the attacker is a lefty I'm going to go with "from behind, with no warning whatsoever".

From what I read (somewhere) Paul had dismounted from a riding mower, and was blind-sided while looking at something in his lawn. So, yeah.

Nope -- couldn't have been political.

Obviously this is a clarion call for the need for more gun control.

Heard on the news this morning that Paul has 5 broken ribs and is having a lot of difficulty with it.

Given that level of injury, it's very likely that the assault 4th degree (which appears to be a misdemeanor) might well be upgraded to assault 2nd degree, which is a class C felony and carries jail time of between 5 and 10 years.

But the poor, misunderstood neighbor was a Democrat, so that makes it OK.

As someone who has had busted ribs, it hurts just to breathe.  And I hope doc does get charge with a felony.  These leftist loons have no problems resorting to violence..
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

But it's not violence when it's Bash the Fasc!

One of these days one of those numbnuts is going to try it with the wrong person and get lit up.

Broken ribs are extremely painful. I broke a couple ribs trying to dismount from an ornery horse last summer and I was in pain for probably three to four weeks and lingering minor pain for another month or so. I don’t believe I had the separation they are talking about with his ribs either. There is almost nothing they can do with ribs either. They don’t even recommend binding them anymore. Just live with the pain.
