Well that was anticlimactic.

When I heard they were next door neighbors I immediately thought "this is some lily white rich suburbian HOA bull**** isn't it." I was pretty close.

All I know is that as of now I'm keeping my lawn trim AF.

I think in honor of Rand's ideology, we should let the market decide.

without knowing more about this, it seems pretty strange. five broken ribs aren't a minor injury at all, and the charges seem fairly light, especially for blindside tackling a member of congress. i wonder WTF is going on here.

Could be Paul doesn't want to make a big deal. Very fishy indeed.

They are calling it a "flora incident". :lamo :lamo

I can make so many jokes about that, but this thing reeks of conspiracy. Maybe they both agreed to do this for a bit of publicity for Rand. He's definitely enough of a hack to do something like this. Then his neighbor might have went too far....

Or it could have been about a different type of flower (yes that's one of the jokes I was talking about before.)

i wondered about that. however, when you blindside a dude and bust his ribs, it doesn't seem like it would require his permission to charge the other guy with something more serious than fourth degree assault. i suppose that it's a different legal system when money and influence meet up for tea, though.
 

Loved the axiom quip, I gotta hope I don't say that kinda crap to my neighbors

This happened to my wife with our child as well. Baby I think moved around on her elbows while on her chest, and pop! She was in some serious pain, hard to breath without pain, coughing, sneezing were traumatic. She always rubs it in my face that I was all like "how did the baby break your ribs? Must just be sore!", but the xray said otherwise.

I don't understand why the police needed to be involved at all. This is government overreach, they should have just let the clearly visible fists of the free market sort things out.

OK, that is funny as hell.

Perhaps they should sort it out over a doobie.
 
Is this the bowling green massacre they were talking about?
