[MyOwnPeace]

[red dog 1]

34. That's hilarious!

[Honeycombe8]

40. I wonder if she wired his microwave, too. nt

[NastyRiffraff]

49. That was my first thought

reading the headline.

I'm sorry he got assaulted and I'm glad he's okay, but now that he is, it really is funny.

[Maxheader]

3. If mr bousher

got any of rands blood on him, he better get
checked out for rabies.

[truthisfreedom]

4. Sounds like maybe a neighbor dispute?

Maybe Rand was blowing leaves into his yard.

[DavidDvorkin]

5. I eagerly await the details

I hope they're juicy and scandalous.

[SummerSnow]

8. There is a Rene Boucher - Dr. Rene Boucher - an Anesthesiologist in Bowling Green.

14. I'm pretty sure that's the correct Rene Boucher, except it incorrectly uses female pronouns.

I found an old article from 2005 about him. http://www.bgdailynews.com/news/vest-a-relief-for-pain/article_e98ef11a-1689-5309-b762-da4c0ed29eeb.html

[underpants]

18. Yeah (see my post below with pic) they seemed to have assumed female

Looks like he's from the next gated community over from Rand.

[Rhiannon12866]

41. If Renee is female, it's spelled with 2 e's

That's my middle name.

[underpants]

11. Nope wait. WE HAVE A PICTURE. White guy from a gated community.

"Senator Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault," Cooper said in an email. "The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police.”

The KSP news release said troopers were called to the Paul residence at 3:21 p.m. Friday. According to the release, Boucher was arrested by Trooper Bartley Weaver and charged with assaulting Paul, a Republican who has been Kentucky's junior senator since 2011.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Usually the only thing that gets gated community folks upset

is taxes or sleeping with their wife

Can't be about leaf raking

[left-of-center2012]

24. "taxes or sleeping with their wife'

Sleeping with my ex wife was very taxing.

[Mr. Evil]

29. I feel your pain there!

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. He's an anesthesiologist

13. Pic

[Laffy Kat]

54. That Rene is as she and Paul's attacker is a he. nt

[jmowreader]

59. There are only 65,234 residents of Bowling Green

I know there were at least three times that many before the Bowling Green Massacre, but now there are only 65,234.

The likelihood of two people with a name that unusual living in a city that small, is not that great.

[Leghorn21]

10. From Bowling Green Daily News:

"The Warren County property valuation administrator's website lists an address for a Rene Boucher on Rivergreen Lane, which is in the gated neighborhood just east of Bowling Green where Paul resides."

This site says he's a married white, Republican...tho I'm not sure
what this site is, actually:

https://www.mylife.com/rene-boucher/drrealbo

[bigworld]

22. That site says he belongs to the American Independence Party

... it's an offshoot of the Constitutional Party

far-right, obv

[7962]

61. Bord of Elections says he's a registered Democrat

And apparently his Facebook page has a lot of Occupy & anti-orange stuff on it

[Onyrleft]

12. Why didn't he call private police?

The socialist big government police couldn't possibly have been the best option. Could they?

[C Moon]

30. :D

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Ha

ain't that the truth! Libertarian relying on public servants ... i thought the state was going to melt away and they would rely on litigation or guns to solve disputes!

[Jopin Klobe]

15. Ah-HA! ,,,

... sooooooo ... no Bowling Green Massacre, eh? ...

... welllllllll ... call Kellyanne! ...

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Rand disappoints

libertarian preppers stand their ground better than that

[SummerSnow]

17. I bet this assault stemmed from some professional drama, they are both doctors.

[groundloop]

43. Well, Rand CLAIMS he's board-certified....HOWEVER

the board that certified him was formed by.......... (drum roll)
.
.
.
.
.
Rand Paul.

[bagelsforbreakfast]

20. Great, now next to "Remember the Maine and Remember the Alamo we'll have

Remember the Bowling Green Massacre!"

[Cryptoad]

21. That will teach him to vote against O Yellar and the boz!

[spiderpig]

23. I haven't heard of osteopathy since the Dr. Sam Shepard murder case.

I guess it's still an accredited form of medical treatment?

[marybourg]

35. Here in AZ, they practice alongside

MDs in many of the leading medical practices. I always liked osteopaths. I find them more practical and empirical.

[Laffy Kat]

55. It's equivalent to an M.D.

Some medical schools give out M.D.s and some give out D.O.s. Somewhat different philosophy but interchangeable as far as practice.

[SweetieD]

25. Weird. What was the motive.

[Dopers_Greed]

26. Sen. Paul probably stole from him

He needed the other guy's Rug Doctor to do some hair maintenance, and neglected to return it

[Mike Nelson]

28. I hope Rand is okay...

...maybe it's only a lovers' quarrel.

[Kleveland]

32. It was suggested to me by SWIM.....

That he was "involved" with RP.

Not that I even care.... but it could demonstrate some sort of hypocrisy.

[DesertRat]

33. Louisville news reporter says Paul and Boucher had an ongoing feud

Link to tweet

Link to tweet

[cspanlovr]

37. He lives in a gated community and mows his own lawn? He's a senator and he mows is own lawn?

Really?

[DesertRat]

38. That was really surprising to me too. nt

[elehhhhna]

51. Riding mower

[7962]

62. I live in one and mow mine. And thats ALL I do to it too!!

The neighbors spend hundreds or thousands of dollars doing all kinds of stupid, IMO, shit to their GRASS, including paying someone else to mow it. when I was growing up, kids mowed the yards and now we've got guys pulling trailers with huge mowers and such.
I won't waste any money on grass, especially when most of what people do makes you have to mow it even MORE!!!!

[jpak]

42. I hear banjos...

It's Kentucky

It's a FEUD!

nothing to see here - lol

[DesertRat]

45. A feud between an optometrist and an anesthesiologist in a gated community

doesn't sound very exciting. lol

[jpak]

47. Wet noodles at 10 paces!

[truthisfreedom]

50. Maybe he didn't use a bag on his mower and was blowing grass over the property line.

Obviously it's a personal problem.

[red dog 1]

36. Kick for exposure!

(That'll teach Rand Paul not to mow his own lawn)

[milestogo]

39. Libertarians call the police when they're assaulted?

[Paladin]

44. Yeah! How come the infallible free market wasn't used to solve the problem?

At the very least, Rand Paul should have used a hardback copy of Atlas Shrugged as a defensive weapon.....

[jmowreader]

58. Rand can't LIFT a hardback copy of Atlas Shrugged!

Ayn Rand fucked up when she wrote that book: It's all about railroads; it should be all about forklifts because you need one to move her book.

[DesertRat]

46. good one!

[YOHABLO]

48. "No further information is available for release at this time."

Well gee, that was worth reading.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

52. Oh NO00000000 another attack on Bowling Green !

[exboyfil]

53. One thing we are sure about

It is Hillary's fault.

[Rollo]

56. How quickly everyone forgets...

... everything bad is Obama's fault ...

[FSogol]

57. Hey, it is too soon to politicize this tragic attack.
