It was in jest, I did not mean to offend. I love Bowing Green, it's a much better City then Louisville in most ways. I don't get down that way much anymore, but I have spent a lot of time there. Speaking of Corvettes, my best friends uncle works there and I was lucky enough to get a kind of behind the scenes tour of the place and some time behind the wheel of the then new Corvette C6 on the track in the back. Great fun! Back to the OP, I still have not heard much about this on the local news. I don't live in Louisville, but that is where my local news comes from. I guess that a republican senator getting attacked isn't important news. ARman | |||

article link below inputs from neighbors and home owners association say that the attack was not over a lawn feud. http://www.washingtonexaminer....orts/article/2640090 The Bowling Green, Ky., neighbor who allegedly attacked Sen. Rand Paul last weekend, causing six broken ribs, was aggressively anti-Trump and anti-GOP in his social media, calling for the impeachment of the president and urging Russia investigator Robert Mueller to “fry Trump’s gonads.” | |||

Another shining example of lefties filled with hate, all the while trying to make it out that the right is filled with hate. But, the examples keep piling up of assaults and bad, violent behavior by liberals. And it just isn't happening on the right. How do I know that? Because it would dominate the 24 hour news cycle for weeks if it did. Bravo, you moron. I am guessing that due to the pain and extent of injuries that this will be upgraded to Assault Second, a felony. I hope so because actions have consequences, and how sweet would it be that this asshat lose his ability to vote as a consequence. | |||

+1 Leftists seem to not understand the entire concept of actions having consequences. This leftist jackwagon thought he was going to physically assault somebody, much less a U.S. Senator, and there'd be no repercussions. Surprise! "America is at that awkward stage.

I join you in the hope that the charges will be upgraded, but given the prosecutors involved, don't hold your breath. Boucher's attorney is a complete asshat, so maybe there's hope? | |||

He's basically retired. He let his license expire in 2015. I'd like to seem him in prison. Be a big change from a 10,000 square foot house in River Green. | |||

I have yet to hear of any evidence that there was a political motivation. Is there any evidence, or are people making an assumption or speculating? The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

how is six broken ribs getting a misdemeanor fourth-degree assault charge? shouldn't this be something more significant? NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

That should work out well for him. He missed his chance to plead down to a fine and probation, thinking a jury trial will let him waltz, but now he's risking a guilty verdict from a bunch of jurors who are tired of the BS. I don't know how well-liked Paul is in his home county, but if I was on the jury I'd convict in a heartbeat. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Attorneys, please speak up...how is a physical assault on a sitting Senator not a Federal felony? I Drink & I Know Things | |||

This is the standard that they have to prove-
To make this work-
That's the rub. Serious physical injury. That's the book definition in the KRS. Problem is attorney's will spend a lot of time arguing that broken ribs do not meet the criteria as serious physical injury. However, KSP is investigating it. They are notorious for being ruthless in carrying out an investigation the way it should be. It will be handled right on their end. I am sure it is being handled out of the detective squad at Post 3. | |||

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

so, between what JJones and JAllen posted, I'm hoping the local charges are sufficient to get things going, but expect that Russell Coleman, the US Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky, will be stepping in soon to file some federal charges...

(e) Whoever assaults any person designated in subsection (a) of this section shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the assault involved the use of a dangerous weapon, or personal injury results, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. Hopefully he will be prosecuted with this in mind. If the local prosecutor only goes for the 4th degree assault charge, can Federal charges be pursued as well? -c1steve | |||
