Rand Paul testifies he thought he might die during neighbor’s attack
‘The thought crossed my mind that I may never get up from this lawn again,’ Kentucky Republican says

Sen. Rand Paul thought he might die when he found himself face-down on his lawn in November 2017, moments after his neighbor charged at him, tackled him from behind, and landed on top of him.

The blindside tackle, executed as he was standing up after hopping off his lawn mower to pick up a stick, sent Paul and the neighbor tumbling through the air roughly five to 10 feet down a slope, the Kentucky Republican testified Monday in a civil trial against his assailant, 60-year-old Rene Boucher.

Multiple outlets, including The Associated Press and the Bowling Green Daily News, reported from the trial.

The force of the landing with his neighbor on top of him broke six of Paul's ribs and punctured one of his lungs.

The injuries left Paul breathless. Another blow to his back, and he might die, Paul thought.

Anytime you are attacked and knocked senseless it is up to the attacker if you die. Paul was right, he could of been killed by this liberal brute of a neighbor. I carry a gun on me most all the time, but there is no way to be constantly aware of our situation.

There are millions of leftist nuts out there right on the edge like that screwball Hodgkinson who shot Rep Scalise and wanted to kill a bunch of Republicans.
The latest blowup with numerous liberals wanting to execute a young Republican for smiling at an Indian nutjob proves how perilous the situation is now.

I thought that this had already been settled.  The nutjob attacked a sitting Senator, he should get the maximum penalty.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The attacker should lose his medical license. Who would want to be treated by such a nutbar?
Principles matter. Words matter.

Getting 5 of your ribs broken could lead most people to the impression they were going to be killed.
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.
