All signs point to politically motivated attack on Sen. Rand Paul

Based on his social media profiles, Boucher was fervently anti-Trump and anti-Republican. Seven neighbors think the landscaping excuse is bogus as does Sen. Paul...

I understand being cautious about assigning motive until the facts provide one, but what’s left here? Clearly, everyone, including Paul believe the defendant’s excuse is just that.

More frightening than the attack itself is the relative neglect this story has received. The press ought to be knocking down doors trying to get to the bottom of this. A lawmaker attacked in his own homes and for what look to be politically motivated reasons is no small occurrence and the latest troubling development in the normalization of violent behavior aimed at differing opinions.

I’d be willing to drop all charges if he would just do the same thing to McCain sometime soon.

That is wild speculation, of course.
It still does not excuse Boucher’s demented violence. <<

Of course its WILD speculation..
and no way does it excuse the actions...

My crazy speculation only came from the way its being played out in the news....Like there's something missing in this story...Is it grass clipping?..politics?..or something else?

Both sides know something......It just seems nobody is talking...

This is especially true for a,physician, since they’re trained to understand such things.

Don’t be fooled. They’d put us in death camps and murder everyone we ever cared about it if they had the ability.

This is so stupid. The speculation is as if Paul had been killed, so the motivation has to be pieced together via clues.

Paul was injured, not killed. He can speak. If he wanted people to know the reason he was attacked, he could tell us. Meantime, it’s an idiotic waste of time to speculate. One of the people who knows has given a vague reason. The other party made a couple of coy tweets. It’s not enough to go on.

From the comments:

The doctor has a serious problem in that he can be charged and tried in both the state and the federal systems for what he did, may have to serve time or probation in both systems consecutively, and may lose his job, license, career, home, and family in the process.

This bears repeating. Unless the doctor is a certified lunatic, why would he risk all this for what he's trying to claim amounts to nothing more than a dispute between neighbors.

Good point
He may have wanted to crush the chest, cause lung and maybe heart injury
I just cant imagine how much force it takes one man with his bare hands to cause injuries equivalent to an automobile accident

I would go for civil damages right away. That way he won’t have money left for a decent criminal lawyer.

Pretty easy for a MD. All he had to do was bunch both fists and hold them vertically against Paul’s sternum while he delivered a really hard tackle that knocked Paul down very quickly. It would be like landing on a couple of rocks. Paul’s body weight and momentum would have done the rest of the damage.

Your comments are not ‘over the top’. The entire executive branch apparatus, including intelligence agencies, was on-call to defeat Donald Trump. Social media are likewise clamping down on conservative voices.

If Hillary had won, and her chief of staff, the communist Van Jones, set up reeducation camps for conservatives, we’d never know of their existence from the reliable rat media.

My mistake on the senior citizen. I guess that starts around 55.

Still; anyone over 50 isn’t going to heal nearly as fast as a younger person but somewhat faster than someone in their 60’s.

I dont know if that detail was released but I read he walked out on 4th degree assault and $7500 bail because “ no weapon was used”

If it was one of satans pets, like collins, schummer or the faux indian from mass, the press and the FBI would be all over this.

Does anyone have a 4chan or reddit link?

Either an intentional kill shot or a deliberate incapacitating shot. Just imagine what would happen to you if a 180 lb man tackled you from behind, full force, and you landed with your sternum on a large rock the size of two doubled up fists. People who get sucker pinched and hit their heads on curbs as they drop are often killed or permanently incapacitated.

No they aren’t,but since my 5 kids are all in their fifties I consider the fifties positively youthful years.:-)
