'Socialist' doctor 'assaulted' Kentucky Senator Rand Paul because (trun)
Daily Mail ^ | Nov 14, 2017 | BEN ASHFORD

Posted on 11/14/2017 9:08:18 AM PST by Oshkalaboomboom

The 'socialist' doctor charged with cracking Senator Rand Paul's ribs in a crunching blindside tackle may have harbored a secret grudge against his GOP neighbor for spoiling his lakeside views and 'devaluing' his home, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Rene Boucher, 59, told Paul in the wake of the mauling that he hadn't been able to sell his $740,000 house for ten years because the congressman's trees were 'in the way'.

It's believed Boucher was referring to woodland at the back of Paul's property that blocks the doctor's views of the picturesque private lake that forms the centerpiece of their upscale gated community.

Friends say it could explain why the retired anesthesiologist has failed to find a buyer for his five-bedroom, 1.36-acre home which is nonetheless described on property websites as 'overlooking' the desirable water feature.

Boucher's alleged grievance was relayed to the media by another of Paul's neighbors, Alicia Stivers, the first person who saw the bloodied and dazed lawmaker after the November 3 assault in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Stivers, 54, confirmed that account to DailyMail.com this week but said she was unable to elaborate because the incident is now subject to state and potentially federal charges.

Property records confirm, however, that Democrat-voting Boucher has indeed put his house on the market five times over the past decade without success, at one point becoming embroiled in a messy lawsuit when a prospective buyer pulled the plug at the last minute.

A look at boundary maps and overhead photographs also shows many of the 'offending' trees are on Paul's land - although one realtor pal told DailyMail.com the Boucher property probably didn't sell simply because it was overpriced.

If he’s a socialist, then he shouldn’t be selling his house. He should just turn it over to someone who needs it.

He's about to turn it over to his legal team in lieu of criminal defense funds.

More and more articles are appearing with language like this.

If something may have happened, then equally it may not have happened. And some of these types of reports are almost guaranteed to wind up on the "did not" happen side of it.

This is not news. It is gossip.

Articles like this belong in the tabloids, not top rank newspapers.

What kind of pain and suffering bill would a jury award Sen. Paul? Senator Paul may end up owning that house....too!

It doesn’t even look like a lake — just a pitiful little scuzzy pond.

The seller should inquire about the association rules, regarding trees. That might give him relief over his grievance. Or maybe not.

The seller should reduce the asking price.

The seller should have his agent negotiate with Sen. Paul.

Surely an MD, would be smart enough to have pursued one or more of those recommendations.

This individual must be unbalanced mentally. Was he drinking? Under other drugs’ influence?

Why retired so young?

In the ‘80s, we bought 2.5 treed acres to build a home. When the necessary portion of the land was cleared for the building site, it opened up a stunning view of mountains — breathtaking, really. (A mountain range in Alaska.) We hadn’t even known that when we bought the property.

Anyhow, the people across the street liked the new view so much that they got a lawyer and tried to get a Restraining Order to keep US from building OUR house on OUR land. They didn’t want their mountain view blocked.

Nothing came of it; they had no case. Still, it’s hard to believe neighbors can be so insane at times.

Neighbors here have the same situation. They bought lots on the woods, but several families of white liberals from across the street who paid less for their houses because they are not on the woods want to walk through the private yards of the people who bought on the woods, claiming that because a defunct HOA exists, they have some sort of community right.

The HOA does not own any of the property, and hardly ever holds a meeting. The trespassers get up in the faces of the people on whose grass they are treading, bringing weeds out of the woods onto the lawns.

One of these days there will be an incident. Then the courts will rule in favor of the trespassers, and the insurers will punish the homeowners who were trespassed upon.

Please note: the black families do not trespass in people’s yards; they take the NRA stickers on the houses of the woods dwellers seriously. They learned better back in the day.

I would imagine that the trial will show the doctor used a weapon of some sort. That twerp couldn’t break six ribs with his bare hands if his life depended on it.

Using a weapon makes it look more premeditated.

Picture worth thousand words — thank you for posting proof that this claim is nought but a distraction from the “Doctor’s” political motives.

I’m not sure, but I’d sure not ‘bet the farm on it’, like this perp did.

You may be right. My take on it is that he may have lowered his shoulder and hit Paul just right to cause that harm.

Paul is lucky not to have any spinal injury.

Some people get literally ‘eaten up’ by hatred.

This guy must have been fuming for a long long time.

Uh, DailyMail is a tabloid. Horrible reporting. Worse grammar, spelling and editing. Lots of Kardashian news, tho.

Thanks. I stand corrected. I was unaware of that, although it’s probably touched on here often enough.

“...This is not news. It is gossip....”
*******************
Yep... it’s the mainstream media shouting SQUIRREL! Meant to distract from a far more likely leftist political motive. Consequently, lots of FReepers apparently looking at squirrels now.
