... Paul had three displaced fractures, which can lead to life-threatening injuries, as well as lung contusions. Paul and his wife, Kelley, "appreciate everyone's thoughts and well wishes and he will be back fighting for liberty in the Senate soon," Stafford said.

Antifa, sponsored and enabled by the leftists, has manifested into domestic terrorists, hellbent on instigating an overthrow of our government!!!
The dems are silent, with no intention of disavowing these lethal attacks.
And, of course, the complicit MSM virtually refuses to report on the truth behind this insurrection. Hell, they basically instate a news blackout.

Pray!!!

Once suffered 4 broken ribs with some displaced. I feel for him. I took 4 days off then went back to work on the theory that I was in pain no matter where I was, so I might as well get my mind off it and do some work.

Oh yes, I fell down a stairs at work on a Sunday. Back in those days I was a workaholic.

prayers for his full recovery, may God speed his return to his duties, and may God expose the full scope of the perpretrator’s motives, including any political motives. the people of KY deserve to know the truth.

Sen. Paul has been doing a lot of good for the people lately. unfortunately that draws the ire of the devil directly.

Did this leftist thug come up from behind and start pounding away with a baseball bat? From the photos it doesn’t look like the perp could punch like Roberto Dura

The article said he was tackled. Another article said Paul got off his riding mower to move something in the way. At this time, the guy blind sided him.

Probably the guy was running full speed and might have speared him with his head, maybe shoulder, maybe elbow and forearm. A fist isn't large enough to take out five ribs. If you don't see it coming, there's no defense.

I had one busted and I also had a cold with a nasty cough at the same time. Not fun for a couple weeks. It was slow to heal since the coughing wouldn't let it still so it could heal. Sneezing is fun, too.

So the guy did this because they disagree about politics?

I’d call that a hate crime.

We’d better all wake up and realize we are dealing with unhinged, irrational, desperate, unethical folks and proceed accordingly. The leftists have made politics their god and are fanatic about it. As fanatic as terrorists.

Time to return to the days when you sized up everyone you met to see if he was a threat. And responded emphatically if he was.

From a description someone else here of FR provided, the “thermavest” is a variation of a product called “Bed Buddy” I bought in Maine many years ago. Basically, it was an athletic sock with rice inside. It was sewn closed at the ends with a polypropolene loop at each end. About 14 inches long, it would lay nicely over one’s shoulders or across a knew or other body part. It was heated in a microwave. If I recall, it was a patented product. I have three of them. They work great.

Without knowing any of the facts I’m guessing a woman is involved.

He cuts his own grass?

Some people find it relaxing.

It’s only 4th degree assault at this time but this could easily rise to attempted murder of a sitting Senator.

Whatever Rand said; it sure set him off. Maybe it had something to do with the tax bill and his neighbor already has money trouble.

He’s a Southerner. Probably prides himself on doing stuff like that. He may even like doing it as a relaxation technique.

He also does eye surgery on those in need during his vacation time. I don’t always agree with Rand Paul but I do respect the man. He has integrity; something so lacking in today’s Senate.

Him helping President Trump and backing him up has really bolstered my opinion of him. He’s one of the good ones for sure.

Wow! I feel so sorry for Sen. Paul. This is a **serious** injury.

I had broken ribs. It was very very painful and it was 6 weeks before they fully healed.

You’re thinking of Paul Ryan; the Speaker of the House.

Scalise was the first, Rand is the second.

Wasn't Rand also there at the baseball field when Scalise was shot?

Open season on anyone on the Right. I pray for President Trump every day. It was really scary seeing him wade into that large crowd in Japan, even though it was on a military base. Seems like crazies can make their way into even secure events.

Yeah! A real Knock Out Game played on a U.S. Senator.

Wow. Baseball bat? Attempted murder? No way for a sane adult to act.

Prayers up for Senator Paul. I pray for his healing, protection for his family, and for justice.

rand paul is the reason everyone’s health care is still hijacked.

You must be on the Soros pay plan to bring something like that up.

By the way, Rand was right to nix that bill, it was only o'care light. It didn't do near enough. Hardly anything would have changed. You want to blame someone; blame the GOPe cucks.
