CNN ^ | June 15, 2018 | Amanda Watts

Rene Boucher, the man who pleaded guilty to attacking his neighbor Sen. Rand Paul, has been sentenced to 30 days along with a year of supervised release, according to a case manager with Kentucky Western District federal court.

Boucher pleaded guilty in March to one felony charge of assaulting a member of Congress resulting in personal injury. The attack last fall, which stemmed in part over a dispute about landscaping, left Paul, a Kentucky Republican, with six broken ribs and bruised lungs.

According to the plea deal, Boucher said he "had enough" after seeing the senator stacking more brush on a brush pile.

The judge was appointed by Bill Clinton.

Attacking a US Senator is a felony, who knew it was only punishable by a 30 day sentence?.

heh heh

The punishment for treason’ that FReepers habitually call for is actually about 10 years instead of hanging.

Who knew?

Attempted murder on a US Senator gets only a 30-day sentence? Is this a joke?

US * REPUBLICAN * Senator.

Therein lies the difference.

If Schumer or Feinstein would have been assaulted on their front lawns .... well, you can guess what the punishment and wall to wall coverage would have looked like.

30 days for a totally unprovoked violent attack causing serious injuries?

It was not unprovoked, since Rand Paul is a Republican. That provokes all people on the side of the angels. /s

This is bullshit.

You get six ribs kicked in and your lungs bruised, especially at his age, you are going to lose some time from your life.

We have to keep the Dems out of the WH. Their judges will rule the country like angry, deadly children.

Is Boucher going to move back into that house after his ‘30 Days In Da Hole?”. You could not ask for a more potentially dangerous neighbor. I see restraining orders been applied for.

That’s an easy question: Journalists.

Don’t forget journalists.

I’ve harbored many ideas about what happens to journalists if/when CWII starts.

Thoughts that I will not share.

The bitch surmised wrongly.

She should be tarred and feathered and sent back to Michigan and have her sorry butt taken off the bench!

What a cover-up; the judge and prosecutor were probably paid off by the Clinton Crime Machine.

"Just how deep is the rot in our ‘justice’ system?"

Frightfully, incredibly deep. Remember, the FBI concluded that the attempted murder of Steve Scalise and a host of Republican representatives and senators by a radical DemonRat was not terrorism.

If he had been a Republican attacking a ‘RAT, he would have got 30 years.
