politico.com/story/2019/01/30/rand-paul-attack-by-neighbor-1138311 >Sen. Rand Paul was awarded more than $580,000 in damages and medical expenses on Wednesday in his lawsuit against the neighbor who tackled him and broke several of his ribs in a dispute over lawn maintenance.
>A jury in Bowling Green, Kentucky, deliberated less than two hours before delivering the award to the Republican lawmaker who had been attacked while doing yard work at his Kentucky home.
>Paul had testified during the three-day trial that he feared for his life as he struggled to breathe after Rene Boucher slammed into him in their upscale Bowling Green neighborhood in late 2017.
>The attack in Paul’s yard was motivated by lawn care, not politics.
>Boucher told the jury that he attacked Paul after watching the senator start forming a brush pile near their property line.
>The day before the attack, Boucher said he had burned another brush pile that Paul had created near the boundary. He doused that pile with gasoline and set it on fire, Boucher said. An explosion burned his face, neck and arms, and Boucher said he was still in severe pain when he attacked Paul the next day. Boucher testified he had hauled away previous brush piles accumulated by Paul without asking the senator. That's what they get for violation the Non-Aggression Principle.
>not challenging the man to a fight the next day > looking in the mirror ever again
Aaron Garcia
Sues someone that tried to fight him, what a pussy, learn to fight. Be a fkn man. Pathetic.
Tyler Price
Fuck. I would take a pretty good shit kicking for that kind of money. Libertarianism rocks!
Chase Bennett
>burn brush on some elses property >get third degrees burns for being retarded >tackle the guy who's property you were on the next day
but why?
Colton Young
Because that retardation is something shills try to use to discredit libertarians.
Jacob Wright
>The attack in Paul’s yard was motivated by lawn care, not politics.
BULLSHIT
Nathaniel Reyes
It was an argument over grass roots. :^)
Dominic Watson
that guy got 30 days in prison for attacking a US senator. thats ridiculous
Nathan Butler
>he had burned another brush pile that Paul had created near the boundary. >near the boundary. Why the fuck this guy would bother with something that's just NEAR his property, not inside?
It shouldn't be any more illegal to attack a Senator than a citizen.
Sebastian Martinez
>Neighbour violating the Non Aggression Principle >Rand didn't shoot him at the spot
Libertarians became pussies.
Lincoln Jackson
And cops shouldn't get a slap on the wrist for unjustifiable homicide. People don't think it be like it is but it do.
Jordan Hughes
It's not, the guy only got 30 days.
Aiden Reyes
there are protected classes in law. killing certain people like judges and prosecutors can make people death-penalty eligible. killing a politician isnt just murder, its assasination. a person attacking an official is attacking the rule of law. if officials live in fear of violence then rule of law breaks down. there should be a greater penalty and it is bullshit that it wasnt applied here

>He doused that pile with gasoline and set it on fire, Boucher said. An explosion burned his face, neck and arms, and Boucher said he was still in severe pain when he attacked Paul the next day. Is that the "I'm a goddam retard" defense?
Robert Sanchez
Glad he won against the neighbor that sucker punched him.
Gavin Harris
Wrong, attacking people is unacceptable and should be met with harsh penalties, like the removal of limbs.
Jaxson Ross
Also rand was awarded$580000
Carter Bennett
>dispute over lawn maintenance was he mowing the lawn at 6:00 in the saturday?
Daniel Lewis
He gets mad about a brush pile that isn't on his property, then gets so mad he burns himself in an explosion due to incompetence, and THEN attacks the guy because he burned himself.
Oliver Cruz
That's 8 years of work for me. Someone please fuck me up.
Brandon Moore
Utterly bizarre. People are so weird - if you have an issue with someone BRING IT UP. You're a human - you can use words. Christ.
Robert Martinez
Imagining his neighbor tackling him to the ground is just a hilarious image in my mind.
Wow. That was an expensive lawn. He should have just bought another house.
Benjamin Jenkins
Based Rand
Robert Martinez
The French exist outside of Quebec, user.
Gabriel Bell
What a pussy
Ian Thompson
>commit arson >get burned >beat up neighbor
Levi Diaz
it doesnt make sense until you realize it was about politics.
Anthony Morris
Because he's probably a Quebecois. The true niggers of the great white north.
Lincoln Lee
Thats what I got from it. It was near the property line. Not over it. Not on another property. He didn't even have a right to burn the first pile. If anything Paul could sue him if burning it damaged his lawn.
Nathaniel Russell
Crazy controlling neighbors. If you think thats bad you should look up some HOA horror stories.
This lil nigga should have been President but he dropped out early like a bitch. He was pro-border security and against abortion. And is redpilled on the Patriot Act and the Federal Reserve. Trump should have been Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or whatever.
Caleb Bailey
>me >Rene Boucher >Probably get called Doucher right up to Sophomore year of college >Fuck them, living well is best revenge >Finally score sweet cuckshed in bougie hood. >goodlife.jpg >cocky goddamn libertarian Senator neighbor tho >lawn and garden debris piles up >start it on fire >burn myself burning his fucking trashpile. >in pain from burns now >fuck tha NAP, declare suburban jihad >feel his ribs snap beneath my blindside attack >feels like....victory. >mfw smug libertarian ends up owning my house
Because fifth graders care about correct pronunciation when assigning humiliating nicknames
Jaxson Nguyen
it wasn't politically motivated
Joshua Reed
living the dream
Justin Powell
>attacks their local representative >has to pay them damages on top of the tax rate
Jayden Perez
if your name sounds nothing whatsoever like the name you're trying to parody it lacks any kind of sticking power or memorability even a fifth grader is going to look askance at you for that
Luis Morris
>he made a pile near the property line So was the pile on Rand’s property or not?
