Rand Paul is a Bad Neighbor.

[Lord Coke]

So Rand Paul's attacker has been sentenced. It sounds like this guy just snapped after months of Rand Paul leaving his crap around. I support Rand Paul politically but man he sounds like a bad neighbor

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A neighbor who tackled U.S. Sen. Rand Paul "lost his temper" over yard debris on the property line between their homes, a court filing in the federal case said.

The neighbor, Dr. Rene Boucher, is asking a judge to grant probation in the case. Prosecutors are seeking a 21-month prison sentence.

A sentencing memorandum filed Friday by Boucher's attorney said Paul repeatedly placed "unsightly" yard debris near the property line. On the day before the Nov. 3 attack, Boucher burned some debris left by Paul, according to the document obtained by the Daily News of Bowling Green. The next day, Paul placed more debris on the spot where the pile had been burned, it said.

Boucher, 60, has pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress and is scheduled to be sentenced Friday.

Boucher's attorney, Matt Baker, filed the 10-page document in U.S. District Court on Friday. A call to Baker's office was not returned Monday. The filing argued that putting Boucher in prison would serve no useful purpose.

"Other than the isolated incident that is in issue, Dr. Boucher has been a pillar of his community, a solid citizen, a family man and a devout Christian," Baker wrote in his memorandum.

It said the disagreement over yard debris dates back to September 2017, when Paul piled a 10-foot-wide stack of limbs onto a spot near Boucher's property. The pile sat until October, when Boucher picked it up and hauled it away in portable dumpsters.

"Even though this debris was not on Dr. Boucher's property, he viewed it as unsightly — as it was placed directly in his line of sight from his patio and the back door of his house," the court record said.

Two more piles of debris appeared in the same month, and Boucher burned the pile on Nov. 2. Boucher used gasoline and suffered second-degree burns that he needed treatment for, the memorandum said.

The next day, Paul used his lawnmower to blow leaves onto Boucher's yard and then made another branch pile in the same spot, it said.

"As Dr. Boucher has stated throughout, he lost his temper and tackled Rand Paul as Paul was carrying branches from another location on his property and placing them on the property line," the memorandum said.

Boucher also denied that the dispute was fueled by political differences with Paul, a Republican.

"Dr. Boucher has adamantly denied any such political motivations throughout, as even the suggestion of them is completely unfounded and simply not true," the memorandum said.

 

[luckyshot]

A libertarian not being cognizant of how his actions affect others?

I don't believe it.

 

[PolishHeadlock]

This story is so weird lol

Rand probably put the branches there on purpose to make a point that nobody can tell him what to do on his property

 

[abiG]

Fuck Rand Paul. To openly sell out the way he has after all the important work that his father has done is both disgusting, and also shameful.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

wait, Paul used his OWN lawnmower?

like he didn't have a gardener?

 

[all caps]

White people problems

One doctor is a whiny little bitch and the other is a passive aggressive little bitch.

Boucher burned the pile on Nov. 2. Boucher used gasoline and suffered second-degree burns

LOL that medical school education really paid off in the common sense department

 

[Not A Theist]

Trust the Libertarian to exercise his right to leave big unsightly piles of crap laying around where others can see them and not give a rat's arse about the effect it has on others' enjoyment...

 

[HunterSdVa29]

do they not have a HOA? was Rand thinking nature would just handle the debris?

there's so many weird little things here haha

You can pull off the Ron Paul shtick in the House where your single vote doesn't matter.

When you are the tie breaking vote in the Senate it isn't so easy to be the rebel.

That's what I would do. Fuck anyone trying to tell me what to do with my property.

"But its so unsightly!"

Then look away stupid cunt.

I hate Douchebag Christians like this guy.

This is the guy who has a problem with everything and lets it build up......100% Douche.

A Christian guy who judges everything, doesn't say shit, until he explodes...Nothing worse than a douche like that.

Idiot got second degree burns for burning shit...LMFAO, idiot....I bet he hold a grudge against Rand for that lol.


First world problems.....This guy probably see himself as a great human being lol.

Libertarianism is about not being compelled to do something, but central to that is the notion that you shouldn't be a dick to people just because you can. Rand Paul should have remembered that before he was a dick to his neighbor.

I'm interested to learn more. We need details.

Oddly, when you have pride in your place of residence and you work to maintain a certain aesthetic standard, as does most of your neighbourhood, it really sucks to have one twat who treats their place like a garbage dump and is an eyesore on an otherwise nice community. Most people who don't experience this personally can at least understand and sympathize with this. Others have a political bone to pick and would react to a certain figure shitting on another's lawn with "What, just one turd? That bastard" to make light of an obvious issue.

Reads like Dr. Doucher could have solved this problem with a polite request or conversation.

This was big on local news. Maybe this dispute can be made into an episode of Fear Thy Neighbor”
