Lawyer for Rand Paul’s attacker: Fight was about ‘trivial’ matter, not politically motivated

The lawyer for the man who attacked Sen. Rand Paul over the weekend said Monday that the two men got into a fight over a “trivial” issue, and not politics.

“The unfortunate occurrence of November 3rd has absolutely nothing to do with either’s politics or political agenda. It was a very regrettable dispute between two neighbors over a matter that most people would regard as trivial,” attorney Matthew Baker said, according to a tweet.

Baker represents Rene Boucher, Paul’s neighbor of 17 years. Baker said he hopes the two men can “get back to being neighbors as quickly as possible.”

    “Baker said he hopes the two men can “get back to being neighbors as quickly as possible.”

    The guy broke 5 ribs. I highly doubt the Paul’s will be inviting them over for BBQ anytime soon. There is nothing about this event that is “trivial”.

    ABC said it was a dispute over “landscaping.” LOL

    No, actually, I guess it’s not all that funny. Could have involved guns, knives or some other weapon. Why is it that nowadays people can’t settle their differences in a civilized manner and not resort to violence? Talk to your neighbor, reason with him, maybe try to work out a compromise. If not, take the matter to the proper authorities. But there is no need to engage in fisticuffs.
