Police: Rand Paul assaulted in Bowling Green

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

The weird thing is that Rand apparently had four ribs broken but the police only charged the guy with a minor misdemeanour. There's a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

Unless he used a weapon or caused a serious, life-threatening or long-term injury, misdemeanor assault is the correct charge.

Every have broken ribs?  I'd be insisting on felony charges.

I thought you wouldn't hide behind the cops like a wimp?

This attacker was white, white boy.

So if he was black you'd just shoot him, got it.

I thought that's what the cops were for?

Correct.
