Rand Paul opens up after being allegedly assaulted by neighbor

[TexasTowelie]

In his first interview since he was allegedly physically attacked by his neighbor, Sen. Rand Paul opened up about the assault.

“From my perspective, I’m not really too concerned about what someone’s motive is,” Paul told the Washington Examiner, referring to the attack 10 days prior. “I’m just concerned that I was attacked from the back and somebody broke six of my ribs and gave me a damaged lung where at least for now I have trouble speaking and breathing, and now I’ve hurt for 10 days.”

Paul returned to the Senate on Monday after suffering six broken ribs and other serious injuries from the Nov. 3 attack. Fifty-nine-year-old Rene Boucher pleaded not guilty to fourth-degree assault on Thursday.

Sen. Paul says he is struggling with severe pain since the incident, referring to his six broken ribs and the fluid buildup in his chest. The senator says he was attacked while doing yard work at his Kentucky home, adding that there is “no justification” for what happened.

I still think Trump deserves that.

4. I hate to see anyone get hurt, but there has to be much more to this story?

Other neighbors said it that was like the Hatfields and McCoys when it came to this two men?

5. I know from experience how painful that is...I used to like to roughhouse a bit with my son...

he is a big kid...one time he just got me in the wrong place ...broken ribs and the lung thing which is so painful the doctor told me it has killed some people. It was horribly painful. My poor son was so upset, but it was an accident. It doesn't take much force if you hit the right place.
