The neighbor who attacked Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, breaking six of his ribs, was sentenced to 30 days in prison by a federal court on Friday.
It was a November day in the city of Bowling Green when Rene Boucher, a physician, says he lost his temper over debris that had piled up near the property line between his home and Paul's. When he saw the Republican senator outside, he tackled him —resulting in broken ribs and bouts of pneumonia.
Boucher was released on a $7,500 bond after spending nearly a day at the county jail,NPR's Bill Chappell reported. In March, he pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress.

Not much time for what he put the neighbor through. No punishment at all. Put him out front and give other neighbors a shot at him or sucker punish him like he did Sen. Rand Paul. Eye for eye?
ReplyDeleteHe should have gotten more time than this...who's to say he won't try to do this or something worse in the future.
ReplyDeleteRand spent a lot more time than that recovering from his injuries. The neighbor should serve 10x that.
ReplyDeleteThat sentence is insane
