Foo - Cheney shoots man.

Duplicate thread, theres already one in the P&R forum, but sense it went silly, maybe its a good idea to go over it again. To repeat what I said before:

Too bad he won't be held responsible for his actions. Dick has one of the biggest collections of legal machine guns, which to make a very long story short have become very expensive because of legislation which he could help change but never has, probably because he's so rich he doesn't give a damn. He also has a huge collection of regular guns, and the fact that he shot his freind is a clear demonstration of stupidity. Anybody who owns a gun, (or in dicks case thousands of them,) needs to be more responsible than that, or he/she should do time and loose his/her gun rights.

well.. what else would you expect someone dumbass as him to do?

Hard to believe he missed the one guy you would think he would shoot.

In Michigan, they allow blind people to hunt.

As a teenager, I accidentally shot a hole in the ceiling. I was unloading my 410 shotgun and thought I had pumped the action enough to remove all three shells but "Boom!" I missed the last one. I was pointing it towards the ceiling and not at somebody, though.

I keep the magazine of my Ruger .22 loaded but in a separate location from the rifle. Keeps fools from shooting themselves but if I ever need it, I have it almost ready to go.

"The shooting is unlikely one of a dispute over politics as Burka said Whittington has strong Republican credentials. However, he is also known as an exemplary individual"

so... cheney didn't shoot him because of politics... he shot him cus he's a good two shoes... :lol:

Cheney shot a lawyer didn't he? That's the one thing he's done I agree with.

This is what happens when criminals get guns

:roflmao:

I can see this thread getting deleted or moved to P&R in the very near future.

Guns don't shoot people in the face, Cheney shoots people in the face. Basic gun safety rule #1: Never point your gun at someone's face and pull trigger. Dick!!!

lol, this will be blown way out of proportion. Sure theres no excuse for shooting someone in the face, but with a .410 at a distance? haha

Perhaps youd like to help do a re-creation? Getting shot is getting shot, no matter what the guage or distance. Like getting analy violated, because it was a chinaman w/ a small penis. does that make it any less real than if it were a blackman with a huge rope of a schlong?

Appologists!

If someone is unwantedly digging up in your chute,i am sure you would rather prefer that tiny root doing the digging.

Where do you get off telling me what I'd prefer? **** is ****

Are you perhaps projecting?

You publicly dropped your pants on that one, so swallow the seed.
I don't care what YOU prefer you could get your stomach stabbed in for all i care :rolleyes:
**** might be **** but if it DOES happen ,one would prefer a tubing cleaner than a roto rooter(Unless YOU are into that kind of thing)
Just like being shot a .22 shot is much less severe than a .44 HP in most instances.
You don't have a CHOICE ,so let that go.

You continue to make no sense.

You continue to make no sense.
It might just be your intellectual fortitude.
Head in the clouds feet on the ground

intertwining your "Analy violated" comment in a shooting thread is a bit odd.
That Shows YOUR perceptual level.

Whatever! :rolleyes:

Whatever! :rolleyes:
No stretching,digging & surely no packing! :)

Yeah right, you got all figured out

Appologists!Best post ever!
:D

No, not everything as of yet.
TY for the compliment though.

Dick = Gangster.

:)

Not mine ,he runs alone.Yet always leads me in the right direction :)

Oh brother. Is it possible to have a serious discussion on this matter?

As far as I am concerned it is criminally negligent. But I guarantee you nothing will come of it. Read some of the articles in the advocacy forums about text messaging drivers hitting cyclists. The average opinion there is that these people should be held accountable analogous to someone who accidentally shoots some one. Well here you have it. Who’s accountable for this one?

The spin is already out about how he was “just peppered’ rather then SHOT! And that he did not announce his self so know one was to know he was there. Typical Republican bent, never admit wrong and instantly blame the other guy. The most important thing to know when discharging a firearm is what your target is. What a Dick, Cheney is.

Best post ever!
:D
Thanks :D

Just peppered? He is in intensive care.

I heard a gteat song on the radio this mornig. Chainey's got a gun...

Dick = Gangster.

:)
No, no. It's Dick=GangSTA. Poppin' a cap in homeboy's ass. Word.

lol, this will be blown way out of proportion. Sure theres no excuse for shooting someone in the face, but with a .410 at a distance? haha


Just thought you might like to know... it was a 28 guage, not a .410.

Still want to help with the re-creation? :p

No, no. It's Dick=GangSTA. Poppin' a cap in homeboy's ass. Word.

Sorry.

I meant "Gangsta".

Peace out. :p

Update on this story... Heard on NPR this morning that Cheney did not have the requisite permit to be hunting (I'm assuming it was a tag specifically for quail, but not sure).

He's going to send in the $7 for the permit after the fact.

That sounds to me like some negligence. Makes me wonder that if he ignores such easy little things like getting a permit like the rest of the Law Abiding Hunters out there, what other laws is he willing to ignore?

Oh yeah... it's Cheney.... I forgot that the Constitution doesn't apply to him....

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Update to the update. The victim didn't have the required stamp either. The stamp has only been instituted in the last 5 months, and the game department has been issuing tons of warnings because most hunters aren't aware of it. Cheney isn't being treated ANY different on that matter than any other hunter that doesn't have or know about the stamp.

For the "criminally negligent" crowd...get a clue. Learn about quail hunting before you drop in your "sounds to me" comments. You are not experts or apparently even vaguely knowlegable. Would you defend a cyclist that got hit while he was riding the wrong side of the road at night without lights or reflectors? Obviously it is the motorist's (hunter's) responsibility to be in control of the vehicle (gun) but it is also the cyclist's (fellow hunter's) responsibility to ride (approach the hunting party) as if they had some common sense, and it is also their responsibility to know and follow the rules of the road (hunt). On this matter too, Cheney is being treated no differently than any other hunter that has one of these accidents. Remember Lemond? Well there is one difference, Cheney is getting roasted over it. In the other 40+ hunting accidents that happen each year in Texas they rarely make the local news.

Go USA!

Whittington jumped "the line" and got shot. Walking in front of a line of bird hunters is the cycling equivalent of taking yourself out by driving your front wheel into the rear wheel of the guy in front of you.

Cheney will bear the brunt, but Whittington was the Fred.

That makes Cheney the Barney.

I thought the victim was behind the Vice-President, who turned and shot him. Perhaps the VP was walking backwards in order to fool The Quayle (not too difficult!) into thinking that he (the VP) had finished hunting for the day, and was heading home…

- Wil

It isn't rocket science. The sequence is supposed to be:

1. make sure you aren't going to hit someone or something that you shouldn't
2. acquire target
3. shoot

Obviously, Cheney didn't mean to shoot the guy, but nonetheless, he managed to get to 2 and 3, bypassing 1. If he can screw that up, imagine how he can fare with stuff that requires actual thinking. :p

Careful Twahl. Logic and reason often gets a poster in trouble on this board.

The news is reporting that the lawyer in this incident has now suffered a mild heart attack.

Maybe Cheney will be a sport and let him have his pacemaker. :D

On Monday night one of the [Daily] show's correspondents, Rob Corddry, introduced as a "vice-presidential firearms mishap analyst," said that "according to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush," and "everyone believed there were quail in the brush," and "while the quail turned out to be a 78-year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he would still have shot Mr. Whittington in the face."

Especially tortured logic - which seems especially appropriate here. :D

Update on the victim. The dude was supposed to be released today but suffered a mild heart attack from one of the pellets.

Ok, so what you're all telling me, is that the current vice-president tried to shoot the current president's father's vice president, and instead ended up hitting a lawyer. This sounds complicated...

It seems to me, there is a very important question no one is asking here: did he get the quail? If so, what's the fuss? Don't politicians generally justify things by the end rather than the means? :p

Ok, I'm done with the jokes now. I've heard a couple different stories of what went on, so I think my best bet right now is to only believe the details that are common between all of them. That leaves us pretty much with: Cheney shot a lawyer.

To speculate on the other details that have been discussed and contradicted in various reports, it sounds like the lawyer-dude went to retrieve a bird without notifiying his partners. Another bird was flushed and Cheney tracked it laterally and shot at it without having a good idea where his partners were. Both of them made mistakes, although Cheney made the bigger one, and can probably be charged with negligence. Even if a case is raised against him though, who will witness against him? The best bet is the friend whom he shot, but the reports don't sound likely. The property owner is apparently another friend. There were some medical guys there, but their paycheck probably comes from Cheney. Doesn't sound like this is going anywhere legally.

BTW, I'm a conservative and I hunt, but I see no reason to defend him on this one.

Especially tortured logic - which seems especially appropriate here. :D

Yeah, it's really tortured logic. When hunting, don't walk into the likely path of another hunter's targeting track without letting them know you are there. What a difficult concept. *******.

Whittington jumped "the line" and got shot. Walking in front of a line of bird hunters is the cycling equivalent of taking yourself out by driving your front wheel into the rear wheel of the guy in front of you.

Cheney will bear the brunt, but Whittington was the Fred.

It's more like the equivilant of pulling your car into traffic and getting hit. Before you leave the stop sign it is your responsibility to make sure the roadway is clear. Same with shooting. Never pull the trigger until you verify that there is nothing in the line of fire that shouldn't be.

Learned that in Hunter's safety when i was 9. That was thirty years ago, and i haven't shot anyone yet.
