Reminder what terrible people many in the media are:
The only “dispute” existed solely in the attacker’s troubled mind, until, on a beautiful autumn day, he ran down the hill on our property and slammed his body into Rand’s lower back as he stood facing away, wearing noise canceling headphones to protect his ears from the lawnmower.
This was not a “scuffle,” a “fight” or an “altercation,” as many in the media falsely describe it. It was a deliberate, blindside attack. The impact left Rand with six broken ribs, three displaced, pleural effusion and now pneumonia. This has been a terrible experience; made worse by the media’s gleeful attempts to blame Rand for it, ridiculing him for everything from mowing his own lawn to composting.
This Thanksgiving weekend, instead of playing golf with his sons or enjoying our annual touch football game with family and neighbors, Rand will be in pain. But we will still be grateful for the love of our large and supportive family, and for the encouragement and prayers of hundreds of kind and thoughtful people during these last weeks.
And no one remembers the name of the Bernie supporter who tried to murder the Republican congressmen on that baseball field.

Which is why it is important that every time a lefty gets a little violent we say they have Hodgkinson’s disease.
There is a tried and true solution that is not allowed in this country. Public shaming. We used to do it with stocks in the public square and some countries still do it with caning. It works.
Spare the rod and spoil the child. Some of these children being more advanced in age.
Public shaming? Isn’t that what Twitter and Facebook are all about?
I don’t get it. Was he running on Rand’s property? He shouldn’t even have been there in the first place.
Some of the comments over there are particularly vicious. Makes me realize just how easy it would be to find plenty of brown shirts to keep the “wrong” kinds of people in line. Sadly, there are always bullies available to do the dirty work. When a society loses its moral compass to the point that fellow citizens actually applaud this behavior I fear for the future.
I’m pretty sure there are a number of Republican lawyers who will be making life difficult for the bastard with a civil suit. I am a bit surprised that the jerk’s life hasn’t been fully exposed by the establishment right media, but I guess that’s something else they don’t do cause “Muh principles”.
Rand was one of those congressmen out on the software field who was attacked in the initial episode.
