Ever since Senator Rand Paul was attacked in his own yard by a neighbor, there have been dozens of speculations on why it happened. The Senator was blindsided in a full body tackle and left seriously injured. There was a lot of pain and suffering that was related to the public in the news.

Two more piles of debris appeared in the same month, and Boucher burned the pile on Nov. 2. Boucher used gasoline and suffered second-degree burns that he needed treatment for, the memorandum said. 

 

The next day, Paul used his lawnmower to blow leaves onto Boucher’s yard …..
