Sen. Paul lives in [[Bowling Green, Kentucky]]. In November of 2017, he was the victim of a cowardly attack by an irate [[Democrat]] neighbor, Rene Boucher, who trespassed on Sen. Paul's yard, snuck up behind him, and violently broke five of his ribs. The shameful attack caused lung contusions which required removal of part of his lungs, and also facial injuries. He was peacefully mowing his lawn at the time of the attack. Police initially charged the perpetrator, who reportedly admitted to attacking Paul, with merely fourth-degree assault despite the seriousness of the injuries<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/11/more-on-the-democrats-assault-on-rand-paul.php|title=More on the Democrat’s Assault on Rand Paul|author=John Hinderacker|publisher=Powerlineblog.com|accessdate=November 5, 2017}}</ref>. A federal charge was then filed against the assailant, who pled guilty, but was then sentenced to merely 30 days in jail, which is far below sentencing guidelines and which the [[Department of Justice]] has appealed for being too lenient.
