As we mentioned earlier this week, Rand Paul sustained life-threatening injuries after being attacked by his batsh*t neighbor.
It later turned out that this may have happened over a LANDSCAPING DISPUTE.
Two Kentuckians tell me Rand’s neighborhood fracas stemmed from a dispute over some sort of planting or flora issue around the properties

Um. WHAT?
While the attacker is a registered Democrat, many are saying the attack was NOT politically motivated, and in fact just some sort of gardening brawl…
You know how Kentucky is. (I kid, I kid!)
Anyway, the PSYCHOS over at GQ think Rand totally had it coming because he sucks.
It turns out that Rand Paul is a bit of an asshole about his yard https://t.co/7YAMVZ0cvo

According to the article:
So, according to interviews conducted by the New York Times, it seems as though the root of the dispute between the two men is landscaping. Yep. Of all the possible causes for these two to dislike each other, it’s the oldest neighborly issue in the book: “I don’t like the way you take care of your lawn.” Now, you might be wondering how that has anything to do with politics? Well, it turns out that Rand Paul is a bit of an asshole about his yard. …
Being an a-hole about your yard now warrants life-threatening injuries?
Does GQ have antifa rejects writing for them now?
So, let’s read between the lines a bit here. Rand Paul is an asshole neighbor. He bought a house in a neighborhood that has certain rules with regard to lawns, and he decided that he doesn’t need to follow those rules because of his belief in “property rights” that don’t actually exist. This is, at its core, the problem with libertarianism. Libertarians don’t want to follow the rules that we as a society have agreed upon, because they feel those rules step on their freedoms. And sometimes they might even be right, but that doesn’t mean that they are above those rules and can do whatever they want.
So then some guy got SO WORKED UP about Rand Paul’s yard that he beat him, breaking five ribs.
GQ totally gets it.
