    Maybe in Kentucky people beat up Senators all the time so it's not seen as a big deal. Sort of a local folkway, I guess.

        Yeah, it sounds like there might have been something personal involved - something kept out of the reports.

        Pretty sure it's the guy next door who keeps letting his lawn service blow leaves into your pool that th average Kentucky millionaire wants to beat senseless, vs his status as a US Senator, that was the cause of $7500 bail

        No -- I'm expressing bafflement that Paul was seriously beaten and we don't have a good explanation yet as to what happened.

        I bet that it all started with a tree on the property line. I can see that argument ending in broken ribs.

        I read there's been an ongoing dispute as to the exact location of the property line.
