Looks like there's a pre-trial conference scheduled for Rand's attacker on 12/19:

^^^I think it is telling that Mr. Paul is not revealing what the assailant said in terms of why the attack occurred. I am thinking it was about something as picayune as the lawn, and not the political motivation that so many people are wishing for.

I agree. He would be talking about it (and fundraising off it) every chance he got if it were a political hit. Instead he's being very coy about it.

More grass on the fire.

I hope Paul wasn't touching him inappropriately or something...

Unless it's something REALLY big, it really doesn't matter why the guy blitzed Paul. What matters is that he assaulted, and caused serious injury to, another person.

And I still want to know why the guy isn't charged with a felony.

Because it was just a petty little disagreement over the lawn! Who hasn’t hospitalized their neighbor over their lawn?

I'm reviving this thread with an update: Rand Paul's assailant has been charged with federal felony assault, and has apparently chosen a plea deal rather than a trial.

^^^ Huh. Senator Paul stacking brush in a pile seems to have been the last straw for the neighbor.

I guess I need to launch an assault on a couple of my neighbors.

I would so be figuring out a way to use a rusty TransCamaroBird as a brush pile holder at that point.

Maybe an Airstream with the top opened up.

You shouldn't be so lacking in sympathy. Don't you understand? The neighbor could see the brush pile from his house!

The locals should have charged him with a felony. It bothers me a bit that the feds have done so, because an attack on one of them (whether politically motivated or not) is so much worse than an attack on one of us pee-ons.

It's fortunate that Dr. Boucher doesn't live next door to me. He would have died of apoplexy years ago.

Apoplexy or dog mauling. And if the latter, I'd be suing his estate for the cost of the dog's therapy.

The Feds want to send the anesthesiologist away for 21 months. I wonder if they cut a deal such that he can keep his medical license. In most states, a felony conviction is an automatic loss of your healthcare professional license.

I thought the psycho neighbor was already retired. If so, why would he care about his license? Though after the fine and likely civil suit he might have to un-retire to pay that all off.

2 years isn't bad, but we will see what kind of judge this is.

Hey, the longer he spends in the slammer, the less he has to look at Rand Paul's pile of lawn clippings.

Seems awfully light punishment for bum-rushing a guy and breaking his ribs.

What is common for an assumed first time offender in local courts for assault and battery with serious injury? I figured it wouldn't be far off from that, but I don't know.

That's probably about right. Maybe five probation.

30 days in the slammer, one year of supervised release, 100 hours community service, $10,000 fine.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/15/neighbor-who-attacked-rand-paul-sentenced-to-30-days-in-prison.html

Honestly I'm a bit shocked. I figured a slap on the wrist and a fine. This is substantially more than anticipated.

One month in jail for aggravated assault is pretty solidly in "slap on the wrist" territory in my book....
