Its ridiculous that the guy only got 30 days for a violent unprovoked attack that caused serious injury to another person. Rand Paul was literally doing nothing but yardwork on his own property never having so much as exchanged words with the dude when he was attacked while his back was turned without warning.

30 days? The guy should’ve spent at least a year in the slammer.

I can’t think of a politician I would rather have as a next door neighbor than Rand Paul.

One set of rules for us, another for them.

If he was a Trumper who attacked a Rat senator, he would have gotten at least 10 years, maybe more.

As far as I’m concerned what that @$$hole did to Senator Paul was attempted murder.

What goes around...comes around. The concept of them freely attacking our side will end one day.

That guy should have went to prison too as far as I’m concerned. Not because he’s a Senator, just because he attacked someone by surprise and nearly killed him. What a douche.

The court awarding damages is one thing. Collecting the money is another.

Yes. But a bigger judgment may have been overturned or held up in definitely. I hope that neighbor loses his home as a result of his violent actions.
