A senator mowing his own lawn. Who would have thunk it.
This shouldn’t end well for the neighbor.
You don’t settle your disagreement with a Senator in this manner. Big mistake!
$5,000 Bail for assaulting a United States Senator? Oh I forgot, He’s a Republican.
Won't it be the ultimate irony if Rand Paul now has to use the same pain relieving vest that his attacker sells !
.
It shouldn’t end well with anyone, but pulling this routine with a U. S. Senator isn’t going to win you brownie points with a judge.
I thought he would, at least, be throwing garbage over the fence.
What? Does a Senator bestowed with extra inalienable rights than the common peasant? If it’s a misdemeanor it’s a misdemeanor and yes $5,000 would probably be the going rate
He’s an anesthesiologist. If you’re a registered Republican and/or a “member” of the Tea Party be very afraid if you go in for surgery and this character shows up in the OR.
Doctors that turn entrepreneur can go dark. They can harbor resentments when they don’t go rich from their gizmos. Doctor on doctor take down on the lawn! ooof!
I’d I were a Senator, I would keep a lower profile, pay someone in the family well to mow the lawn and not talk to anybody.
it’s KY. It’s what we do.
The neighbor sounds like a jerk, and I applaud Paul for mowing his own lawn. That said, who cares if the disagreement is with a senator, a greeter at Walmart, or the pool person? We don’t have royalty, and that’s not the kind of country we’re supposed to be. Some of the biggest morons one can meet have held public office. I have no special respect for any politician, and would never ever afford them any special privileges.
Yeah, I was kind of like and respect that he mows his own.
I sewed up rice in an old sock. I warm the sock in the microwave and use it when I have neck pain. The therm-a-vest would be great for the back.
Typical leftist scum..this is what the media created..this “Every Republican is an evil Nazi” memo..and it takes whack jobs like this to believe it
