Anti-government Sen. Rand Paul files civil suit against his neighbor

[RandySF]

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Bowling Green has filed a lawsuit against the neighbor who admitted to assaulting him in front of his house.

In the civil complaint, filed Friday in Warren Circuit Court, the Republican senator seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages from Rene Boucher for "physical pain and mental suffering" resulting from Boucher's tackle of Paul as the senator was mowing his yard Nov. 3 in the Rivergreen subdivision in Bowling Green.

Paul sustained multiple rib fractures and dealt with recurrent pneumonia in the aftermath of the incident.

Boucher was arrested Nov. 3 by Kentucky State Police on a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree assault.

He was later charged in federal court with assaulting a member of Congress, pleaded guilty to the felony offense and was sentenced this month to 30 days' incarceration and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.

1. Rand Paul is not anti-government

He's for limited government. As in one that only serves rich white men.

There is no inconsistency.

5. A non-wealthy, non-white man who did this would currently be cleaning the asphalt with his nose ...

And spitting out gravel stuck between his teeth ... as he dangled, suspended from high above ... by his sack ...

6. I'm pretty sure the courts can resolve this without my help

I think Rand is an a-hole. I also think tackling a-holes is usually unacceptable. I wasn't there so don't know what happened
