Sen. Paul was likely in violation of the HOA rules. I hate HOAs, but if you join one, you should follow the rules.
Come again?? Regardless if Rand violated HOA rules or not, that does not give is neighbor the right to attack him! He attacked a sitting Senator and inflicted serious injuries to him; at the very least he should have been charged with a felony.
IF his neighbor's attorney is using the fact that Rand may have violated HOA rules, he's a crap lawyer. Rand could have broken every single HOA rule and still does not excuse his neighbor's behavior. The neighbor attacked and injured another human being. That's assault and battery which is against the law and punishable.
