Why don't you just wait for a police report before condemning an entire group of people for the actions of one.
Poor logic.
Doug Stafford, a senior adviser to Paul, told the Associated Press Sunday Paul was in considerable pain and has difficulty getting around, including flying. Stafford said Paul has five broken ribs, including three displaced fractures, which can lead to life-threatening injuries. The pain can last for weeks or months.

Boucher is a registered Democrat, according to Kentucky State Board of Elections records. However, a motive for the attack on Paul remains unclear.

Rand will be alright, despite the pain as the source mentions.

Overall, other sources, etc, allude to and it seems so it may be a neighbor dispute rather than political. Political wise, guess the neighbor probably feels that his politician neighbor can get away with more things than him/ have more leeway in the neighborhood(HOA?).
"The stories of a 'landscaping dispute' or a dispute of any sort between Rand Paul and Rene Boucher are erroneous and unfounded," a Paul neighbor named Travis Creed told the Washington Examiner. "The reason for Mr. Boucher's bizarre attack is known only to him. Statements to the contrary are irresponsible and unnecessary."
In a new statement to CNN's Drew Griffin, Paul's attorney Doug Stafford called the incident "a serious criminal matter involving serious injury." He said both local and federal authorities are looking into it and added the two men had not spoken for years beforehand. "This was not a 'fight,' it was a blindside, violent attack by a disturbed person. Anyone claiming otherwise is either uninformed or seeking media attention."
