SECONDRATE: Even Rand Paul's neighbors want to kill him

---

Quote:

---

On the afternoon of November 3, Paul was mowing his lawn in the well-to-do gated community where he's lived for 17 years. It's an enclave dotted with swimming pools, an artificial lake, and at least one private tennis court—a place where the Greek revival homes feature grand columns out front that support porticos and little balconies. Actually, the columns on Paul's house are rather modest by the standards of the neighborhood—a fact that doesn't escape notice. "They pick on Rand because he has the smallest one [PORTICO WITH COLUMNS] out there," one local confided in me.

According to The New York Times, he had just stepped off of his riding lawnmower when Boucher tackled him from behind. The senator apparently never heard Boucher coming because he was wearing "sound-muting earmuffs." Describing the alleged attack, Paul's spokesman, Sergio Gor, said his boss was "blindsided."

Jim Skaggs, who lives nearby (and is also one of the developers of the Rivergreen community), said that he thinks that Boucher charged at Paul from the street. From that direction, Paul's yard slopes steeply downward, toward the lake at the rear of his property. Barreling downward about 30 degrees, this imagined path would increase the force of a running tackle, perhaps explaining how a man of Boucher's diminutive stature—an acquaintance of the two men estimates that they both stand five-foot-six and weigh about 140 pounds—could do so much damage.

... Paul finally tweeted that he in fact had broken six ribs and suffered a "pleural effusion," an accumulation of excess liquid in his chest.

According to Tim Pritts, director of surgery at the University of Cincinnati medical school and an expert in trauma, the liquid in question was probably blood.

But even if you grant Boucher the momentum of a downhill charge, the injuries Paul suffered are extreme, according to Pritts (who hasn't treated Paul). An unarmed assault rarely results in more than a broken rib or two. The injuries Paul suffered sound to him more consistent with a car accident, or a fall down a flight of stairs—or even from the top of a building. "I've seen a few from people getting kicked by horses," added Pritts, who speculated that Paul's injuries may indicate he was stomped on while lying on the ground.

For Boucher, 59, an arrest of this sort is an unlikely claim to fame. His allegedly inflicting on his state's junior senator the type of damage more commonly associated with a horse surprised plenty of those who know him. The son of a New England gym teacher, Boucher had served as a doctor in the Army before embarking on a lucrative career in Kentucky, where he raised two bright, successful children.

But there have been setbacks for Boucher in recent years. In 2005, a bicycle accident left him with a badly injured back. He had already been tinkering with an idea for an invention to relieve pain: a vest filled with rice that could be heated in the microwave. Following his accident, he turned misery into good fortune, perfecting the vest and convincing the home-shopping network QVC to begin selling it.

Goodwin, who described Boucher as fiercely principled, said part of the motivation for inventing the vest was to reduce patients' reliance on painkiller medication. He added that Boucher once stopped working with a particular pain clinic after concluding that it was too loose in prescribing opioids, and that his own friendship with Boucher became strained for a time because of an acquaintance that Boucher was apparently convinced had occasionally smoked marijuana.

"His father taught him the old way, but he [BOUCHER] lives in a new world," Goodwin said, describing a man apparently at odds, on occasion, with those around him.

... In 2008, Boucher's wife, Lisa, filed for divorce. After that, Boucher was ready to move out of the Rivergreen community, and he put his home on the market. In April 2012, a couple agreed to buy the place but then backed out at the last minute, alleging problems with the house's air-conditioning units and prompting Boucher to sue them for breach of contract. He ended up getting the $10,000 deposit the couple had put in escrow, which they had offered to forfeit from the outset anyway. According to the Daily Mail, Boucher may have been angered by Paul's decision to plant trees that now block the view of the lake once enjoyed from Boucher's house, lowering the property value. If Boucher had been a luckier man, he might be living now in happy obscurity in Florida, where his son practices law, which, according to Skaggs, had been his intention.

Instead, he's stayed put and poured a good deal of attention into his yard. A Bowling Green resident who said she's known Boucher and his ex-wife for close to a decade but asked that her name be withheld said Boucher has "some OCD issues." Others corroborate this description.

"He's kind of a neatnik in his yard," said Skaggs, the co-developer who built Rivergreen 20 years ago. "You'd see all the little clippings sitting in little plastic bags waiting for pickup every week." Indeed, on a recent afternoon, a black garbage bag filled with yard clippings still sat in Boucher's driveway in front of his three-car garage. Planters flanking the front steps and the back of the house were all neatly stacked with the same seasonal ornament: a greenish-black-and-white gourd on top of a solid white gourd on top of an orange pumpkin.

Like most everyone else in the Rivergreen development, Goodwin told me, Boucher pays in the ballpark of $150 a month for professional landscaping, while Paul insists on maintaining his yard himself. Goodwin said that part of what nagged at Boucher was the difference in grass length between his lawn and that of his libertarian neighbor's. "He had his yard sitting at a beautiful two-and-a-half, three inches thick, where Rand cuts it to the nub," Goodwin said.

Also at issue, according to Goodwin, is Paul's tendency to mow outward at the edge of his property, spraying his clippings into Boucher's yard. Boucher, he said, has asked Paul to instead mow inward when near the boundary line, and even sought help from the Rivergreen Homeowners Association but has gotten no relief.

Goodwin recalled picking up Boucher, a devout Catholic, at his home after church one Sunday afternoon several years ago. Boucher had confronted Paul about his yard-maintenance practices a few minutes before Goodwin's arrival, to no avail, and Goodwin saw Boucher grow agitated as they both watched Paul blow grass onto his lawn. "I've asked him and I've asked him and I've asked him," Goodwin recalls Boucher fuming. "How long can you sit there taking someone plucking a hair out of your nose?" Goodwin asked. "How long could you take that before losing your temper?"

Those close to Paul don't recognize the description of a man who flouts his neighbors' wishes. "[Rand] was loved by his patients and is loved by his neighborhood," said Jennifer Wentworth, Paul's partner for 10 years in a shared ophthalmology practice and a neighbor of both men. "I do not know the details of what transpired between he and Rene Boucher, but I do know he did not deserve to be assaulted in his own yard."

REALLY?

I didn't know about it!
What has he lied about?
When has he been obnoxious?

LINKS PLEASE, OR YOU'RE JUST BLOWING SMOKE, AGAIN.

PLEASE NOTE: I'm not defending Rand Paul's political views. Like I do with many libertarians, I strongly agree with some, and strongly disagree with others.

I'm just here pointing out that SECONDRATE's endless font of hate is causing him to lie... again... about those he hates: Republicans.

Just to give you an idea how stupid these US/Fag/Senators are:

Paul: "I'm actually the author of a law to try and get rid of no knock raids."



Does he really think the people he has screwed over are following his senate record? No one knows.



Did you know about that "achievement?" If you say yes it's another SIGGYFUVKING lie.

Hey, Paul! Maybe you shouldn't have left town without figuring out how these people will live before you returned and started crying about how your privilege is not being respected enough! What a f*cking out of touch POS. Just like SIGGY.

"I truly believe this with every fiber of my being, had they gotten at us they would have gotten us to the ground, we might not have been killed, might just have been injured by being kicked in the head, or kicked in the stomach until we were senseless," he explained.

Hey, DUMBASS! *Maybe* the question you should ask yourself is: "why do they want to pull my an@s out and set it on fire?" Answer that 4 years ago and maybe you could walk home today and enjoy the night instead of sh*ttying your pants.

Thx SIGGY!

Eh - no. Thanks to the intervening car, you can't tell who started it. But by the time Kyle came out of far right field to throw some punches, it was pretty obvious he wasn't in it at the start, and was just coming in to an ongoing fight, NOT in self defense.



And btw I fully expect you to go all trollish just because a female stated an opinion that was different from yours, and said you were wrong. But that's your problem. I'm not going to ask permission to post my opinions or apologize for them, just because you have issues with women.

All these white boys look alike to me.


I think he's the one with the red/white/blue shorts.

So, Kyle is walking away. The girl on the rose pants starts hitting his friend, and he comes back in to hit her.

Yep, she started it.

They don't think. Their worldview is false and based on emotion, hate and murder.

There are a lot more, but you should get the idea by now.

Yanno, it's a source of constant wonderment that you post all kinds of "facts" but you never, ever look up the simplest things to see if they're true. So all you wind up with ANOTHER narrative down the drain, and a lot of egg on your face!
