Long-running feud over grass clippings preceded attack on Rand Paul
New York Post ^ | December 7, 2017 | | By Yaron Steinbuch

The attack that left Republican Sen. Rand Paul with six cracked ribs outside his Kentucky home came after a long-simmering disagreement with a 17-year neighbor over grass clippings, according to a report.

An acquaintance of both men said the fellow doctors stood in their yards about 10 years ago and shouted at each other about grass clippings that Paul’s lawn mower sprayed onto Boucher’s property, the Washington Post reported.

The feds said they are investigating the case, in which Boucher could be charged under federal statutes that include a provision that bars assaults on members of Congress and other high-ranking government officials, the paper reported.

The neighbor had recourse through Homeowners’ Association rules, procedures, complaints and resolution.

Supposedly he never availed himself by using any of that.

“We HATE leaf blowers”
******************************
I read here on FR a few years ago that CA folks trying to sleep in early mornings hated them. They were referred to as “Mexican bagpipes”.

Those bags are a target of opportunity! Just jump the curb in your vehicle of choice and bust every bag between the curb and the tree. Be sure there is a strong wind blowing that will resettle the leaves back where they belong!!
Sometimes it’s the little things that are the most fun!!

How did the leaves stay neatly in their bags? Geez. Sounds a bit anal.

No way was this attempted murder on Senator Paul because of grass clippings.

What f’ing purpose would that serve?
It would fertilize the soil. That’s what leaves are for!
You could end up like Senator Paul.
Is that a threat? You are probably a backstabbing, blindsiding coward just like the Senators attacker!
You sound pretty immature.
Well thanks Dad, and I never asked for your f’ing opinion.
Now did I?

This grass clippings nonsense is just an attempt by Boucher and his attorney to avoid federal charges. That POS needs to sit in the slam for 12 mos.

I think that as in most fights like this there is a girl involved.

My neighbour's tree drops dead leaves onto my property.

And it occasionally makes me feel like beating the crap out of him.

But I don't
