A man has been arrested in California for allegedly threatening to chop up Sen. Rand Paul and his family with an ax, according to media reports.
Paul told the Rotary Club Grayson County on Monday that he has become increasingly concerned for the safety of his family, according to WBKO.
He also mentioned a recent threat he received, the Courier-Journal reported.
"Capitol Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man who threatened to kill me and chop up my family with an ax," Paul said. "It's just horrendous that we have to deal with things like this."

it doesn't really say, it was politically motivated. It probably was though.
True - It's a new story - I'm sure more specifics will come out on it
On the other item - Seems his neighbor's ridiculous 30 day sentence for attacking and injuring him is being appealed by federal prosecution (same article)

Is that when Senator Paul had six ribs broken?
yes ... As I recall, he blindsided Rand in Rand's own yard

And the sentence for such a violent crime was thirty days.
ac_wot
yes - One cannot help being suspicious of the judge's mind
Rarely does the prosecution appeal sentence, so they must feel very strong that it was not justice

It was definitely not justice.
Justice has long since abandoned the criminal court system.
It has been replaced by ideological imperative.
yeah ridiculously light sentence for breaking 6 ribs. I imagine Rand Paul was in extreme pain for months. 30 days is not even close to adequate. probably a prog judge.
Now I've read of several of these credible nasty threats on republicans and on trump. Yet the media is playing what I call the unassailable victim game-

--they can attack Trump all they want, but Trump can't say anything bad about them, because it might inspire someone to hurt them. Double standard again.

Progs are not held to account at all for the beating on Rand Paul or shooting at GOP congressmen. Dividing the US into a sane side and a prog side is looking like a good idea.
