Rand Pauls assault

Since Sunday, I have thought that the assault by the neighbor on Rand Paul and probably meant that he was a spectacularly bad neighbor. Today we find out that it was over lawn clippings. However, I think that this only bears out that he was one.

Would any of you care to pitcg your movie concept about “the bad neighbor”?

it maybe lawn clippings or leaves.?
His attacker is one of those Nazi lawn peeps I bet. Sucker punch type dude too Rand had headphones on when attacked
5 ribs busted wtf
yeah felony assault charge and civil case

“Competing explanations of the origins of the drama cited stray yard clippings, newly planted saplings and unraked leaves,” the New York Times reported. In any event, the Republican senator broke five ribs Friday, and his neighbor may face felony assault charges.

"stray yard clippings" were probably the straw that broke the camels' back. I think I could have just had a conversation about the unraked leaves though.

Now, excuse me while I go outside and pee on my compost pile.

but mister prissy pants would have a ball busting coniption if he lived next to me. Neat but sustainable is my train of thought. Let the birds, butterflys and bees have their place.

I can see you are a friend of the earth.
