Rand Paul has Five Broken Ribs – Yard-Tackler Neighbor Revealed to be Leftist!

Yesterday, Adrian Sol wrote a piece about Rand Paul being attacked and implied it might be political and I was like “yo, dude – it’s his neighbor, I don’t think it’s political. Rewrite that.”

A version without the implication of a political motivation went to print.

Alas, today my chickens have come home to roost, as it has been revealed that Paul’s attacker is a far-leftist.

Also – broken ribs.

Fox News:

Rand Paul was recovering Sunday from five broken ribs, including three displaced fractures, after he was assaulted by a neighbor who tackled him from behind at the senator’s Kentucky home, officials said.

Senior Adviser Doug Stafford said it is unclear when the Republican senator will return to work since he is in “considerable pain” and has difficulty getting around, including flying. Stafford said this type of injury is marked by severe pain that can last for weeks to months.

“This type of injury is caused by high velocity severe force,” Stafford said a statement to Fox News.

Yeah, that’s definitely a serious tackle to cause broken ribs.

Although it has been claimed that libertarian bones are as brittle as their skin is thin. I don’t know about the research into that, however.

The Bowling Green Daily News reported that an arrest warrant said Paul told police his neighbor came on his property and tackled him from behind Friday, forcing him to the ground, all while the senator had been mowing his lawn. He had trouble breathing because of the rib injury, the warrant said.

A Warren County official did not immediately respond to a request from The Associated Press for a copy of the arrest warrant.

Police arrested 59-year-old Rene Boucher on Saturday and charged him with misdemeanor fourth-degree assault with a minor injury. Boucher lives next door to Paul and his wife, according to Warren County property records.

Boucher was released from jail Saturday on a $7,500 bond. He has a court date scheduled for Thursday. Boucher did not return a phone call from The Associated Press seeking comment. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

Paul’s health could be another factor in the White House’s race to finish tax reform ― along with the health of Sens. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., and John McCain, R-Ariz.

Boucher is an anesthesiologist and a pain specialist. He invented the “Therm-A-Vest,” a cloth vest partially filled with rice that when heated can be worn to relieve back pain, according to a 2005 article from the Bowling Green Daily News.

A spokeswoman for Paul said he was “blindsided” by the attack, but did not provide more details. Police have not said what motivated the attack. Kentucky State Police Master Trooper Jeremy Hodges said the FBI is checking to see if the attack was politically motivated.

FBI spokesman David Habich said the agency is aware of the incident and is “working with our state and local partners to determine if there was a violation of federal law.”

The attack was a shock for the community in Bowling Green, where a neighbor says he would often see Paul and Boucher out walking their dogs on the normally quiet streets. Jim Skaggs, a member of the state Republican Party executive committee, lives in the neighborhood and has known both men for years. He said they disagreed politically, but was shocked to hear of the incident.

“They were as far left and right as you can be,” Skaggs said. “We had heard of no friction whatsoever other than they just were difference of political opinion. Both of them walked their little dogs at about a mile and a half circle, a nice little dog trot. I’d see them out walking, maybe they might stop and speak with each other.”

I’m still not necessarily convinced that this was political. We’re told they were friends.

However, it is not hard to picture the neighbor pretending to be his friend while secretly hating him and letting that build up and eventually boil over in the form of a drunken yard-tackle.

But I mean, I can imagine Rand Paul being frustrating in areas other than healthcare and tax reform. You can pretty easily see this guy having a neurotic breakdown about cars parked in the street or something. Anything relating to the fallacy of public property could have sent him into a tizzy worthy of a tackle.

Whatever the details, I’m guessing there were incidents other than politics that took place between the two which will be cited as the reason for the attack.
