On November 3, 2017, a man entered the private property of a sitting U.S. senator uninvited. He snuck up behind and assaulted the senator with such violence that he broke six ribs and damaged the senator's lungs, leading to pneumonia and severe pain. These injuries prevented the senator from returning to Congress for a crucial debate in which he played a leadership role.
If a right-wing assailant had broken the bones of Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer, sending either of them to a pain-filled hospital bed, the outcry from both sides of Congress would have been ear-shattering. The left-wing media would have blared about the hateful, violent right wing. Felony charges appropriate to an indubitable federal crime would have been filed immediately. But in this case, the attacker, Dr. Rene Boucher, is an outspoken Democrat, and his victim, Senator Rand Paul, is a prominent Republican.
The Republican congressional leadership have shown little interest in the case, and Democrats have had nothing to say. Within hours of the injurious attack, the fake news magisteria cooked up a bogus narrative about an ongoing dispute between the two men regarding landscaping. The media concocted the "lawn care dossier" to trivialize the crime. The lawn care dossier serves the larger purpose that the assault be prosecuted as a misdemeanor in state law rather than a federal offense, which it is. This shift in narrative parallels changing "gross negligence" to "extreme carelessness" on behalf of Hillary Clinton. On December 6, 2017, the Washington Post polished up and pushed the lawn care dossier in an article, "Intrigue grows over what sparked the attack on Rand Paul." The narrative of intrigue between Drs. Boucher and Paul is 100% fake and 1,000% irrelevant.

Where are the charges and why has Rand Paul NOT pressed charges? Or did he???
Who knows the facts here in Freepland?
Sponsors (leftists/progressives/globalists) who pay for them dictate what advertisements ("news," sports" and "entertainment are merely vehicles to carry advertisements) are seen. Nobody runs ads for free.
Communist insurgents have always been violent, American politics have always been civil.
We just have to recognize the war we are in and stop trying to frame it in the old ways and suddenly it becomes much clearer.
If it was a Rat Senator a Rat sympathizer at the DOJ (is there any other kind?) would arrange for 20 years hard time for the perp.
Like the Mad Mo’ video maker going to jail for being part of the Benghazi ‘Rat lie/fake news.
Well, except for the civil war I reckon. And a few presidential assassinations. And the sixties. And that Aaron Burr/Alexander Hamilton thing. And that caning on the Senate floor. And numerous political riots, assaults, and murders.
I googled American political violence trying to look up this riot I saw in an old movie during the Grover Cleveland election and the list of American political violence was so long I gave up looking.
But except for all that, American politics have always been civil.
Since when?
Everything big media puts out is propaganda. All of it.
Hey, we’ve had a Congressman shot as well. Dims reply....meh.

Pravda was more honest.
The democrats and media are hate. Once you get this it all makes sense.
You are correct. I think all of the commie rats need to be put down.
And they think because they really, really hate Trump it’s grounds for impeachment. It’s a cliché but true: they don’t think, they feel.
I agree with all three of you. Put ‘em down, know they are all about ‘hate’, and knowing they don’t think; ‘they feel’ are all quite true and relevant.
THAT was an attempted massacre of 20+ GOP congressmen . . . by a Bernie-bot, all forgotten within a day.
When the pendulum swings leftward once again, they won’t screw around with two-bit, lone wolf efforts to destroy us.
