I hope it doesn’t happen but those sound like life-threatening injuries if he doesn’t receive proper care. Then that loon would be on the hook for murder.

May Rand Paul heal quickly and his violent attacker suffer much from his actions.

Yeah; those charges against Rene Boucher need to be upgraded to attempted murder with these injuries and complication.

God Forbid Rand Paul dies from this. That would make it murder and we would lose one of the few good ones in the Senate. I don’t always agree with him but my gut tells me he isn’t corrupt and he votes the way he does because he’s trying to do the right thing as he sees it and not because he was told to by some corrupt senate boss.

six broken ribs, three displaced, pleural effusion, and now pneumonia.

_____________________________________________________

OMG! I don’t know how old he is, but pneumonia is very bad for people of a certain age. Not sure what pleural effusion is, but doesn’t sound good. And broken and displaced ribs...right next to the lungs? Not good at all. I am not a doctor, but he sounds like is in bad shape.

And this merited a misdemeanor charge?? Sounds more like a serious felony to me.

Hey, Ms. Hunt of MSNBC...hope your loved ones never undergo something like this. I don’t think you would find it a laughing matter.

Boucher’s lawyer has consistently denied any political motivation for the incident; if there was one, the attack would be considered a federal offense.

_______________________________________________________

Not familiar with the law here, but wouldn’t an attack on any duly elected official already be considered a federal offense? No matter what the motive? After all, the attacker could say whatever he or she wanted; pretty hard to get inside a person’s brain to see what they were thinking.

The liberal schmuck will have his @ss sued off and that house he has had trouble selling? That will be Rand’s along with several million. Payback will be a beotch.

I know someone aged 63 who recently died from pneumonia. It came on fast and ended fast and the person had been relatively healthy as far as we know. Lung and breathing problems are serious issues for people of a certain age.

“Not sure what pleural effusion is, but doesn’t sound good”

It’s when fluid builds inside the lining around your lungs. It’s a very bad thing to have, as is pneumonia. Especially when it’s so painful to cough, or other things one might do to try to keep his lungs clear.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Senator Paul dies from all this.

My haircut lady died from pneumonia a few months back and she was only 53. One day she was fine; next day she was sick; next day she was dead.

Rand Paul, 57, is a very slight man....5'8" and only 157 lbs.

His multiple injuries are painful and devastating...and with the setting-in of pneumonia (a big killer of injured folks), his recovery is still touchy and debilitating.

My prayers are with him and his family this Thanksgiving eve.

” Boucher’s lawyer has consistently denied any political motivation for the incident; if there was one, the attack would be considered a federal offense.”

So let me understand this? If you attack a government official, like say President Trump, in order for it to be a Federal Criminal Act, you have to prove a political motive? I don’t think so. Rand Paul is going to own this guy if he chooses to do so.
