Cheney said that he thought the guy was a deer.\n\n\nLOL\n\nI think he was itching to shoot someone at that time.\n\nPhD guy doesn't sound smart to me. If he was smart he wouldn't be posting his picture for everyone to see. But hey, I could put PhD on my name too! lol

i want to clarify something about somethingsharper's response.  \n\nthere is nothing in the law that stipulates that a victim of a crime gets to decide whether to press charges.  criminal law exists in order to protect the entire society against acts that are deemed detrimental to the entire society.  as such, the only person who decides whether or not to press charges is the people's representative, the district attorney under whose jurisidiction the crime took place.\n\nhowever, quite often the district attorney will ask the victim of a crime if they wish to press charges, as a matter of expediency and to make the system a little more human.  for civil cases, on the other hand, these can be initiated by anyone at all, and they have total freedom in deciding whether to drop the case or not.\n\nHOWEVER there is no requirement that a district attorney not send a case to criminal court.  since district attorneys often move on to politics, and because an involuntary manslaughter charge against a standing vice president has enormous political ramifications, such a thing is not outside the realm of possibility.\n\nthat said, i think it's very VERY unlikely that any DA is going to press charges without the victim's consent here.  if that happens i think it's clearly an open-and-shut case in terms of the criminal court, but with such a powerful defendant i would be surprised if anything went by the book.  \n\naltogether i think the chances of cheney ending up in prison are extraordinarily low.

Yeah...if you're a private citizen, then killing someone is Murder. If you're a member of the armed forces, then killing someone is a way to get an education and do what you honestly believe is your duty. If you're a politician, killing many many people is just another day in the office.\n\nAnyone notice that the further you get from the consequences of your actions, the easier it becomes to act in an inhumane way? Gee...wonder if I should write to my Prime Minister and your President about that...

Stop listening to politicians promising to "get tough on crimes."   They get elected, then enact mandatory minimums, which take away the power from the judges to rule on individual cases.   If you get caught with a joint in some states, you get five years.   You lose your wife, kids, house, car, job.   And the taxpayers get to support that person.   Drug laws are the worst in this country.   Check out the November Coalition's web site to see thousands of people busted for stupid drug laws, thousands we support, thousands of lives wasted.\nThere will soon be legislation to release elderly prisoners (non-violent), as they are the most expensive to house because of their medical problems.   I hope that people will support this.\n\nMy 65 year old husband was screwed over by the parole board four years ago, and we are still trying to get it straightened out.   Meanwhile, your tax dollars have paid for his shoulder surgery, knee replacements and dental.    I know of many other older prisoners who just want to go home and chill.   They are worn out and are no threat to anyone.      Most of them got into trouble for crimes back in the 1970's, which is nothing compared to the gangbanger drive-by street punks today.    They just want some peace and quiet and fresh air, and to die where someone cares about them.  \n\nIf these older guys were released, it would help the financial burden immensely.    The families would then be responsible, but trust me, we don't mind.

Well, the first two lessons you learn in hunting safety class is that the gun is to ALWAYS assume the gun is loaded and ALWAYS know exactly what you are shooting at.  When shooting game birds, often you are tracking the bird across an arc before firing, so it's not quite the same as just pointing and shooting at a target.  I can easily see how this sort of incident can happen in a careless moment, especially since his buddy didn't follow the standard etiquette when he approached the rest of the party by announcing his return.  Nevertheless, it's always the shooter's responsibility to know what his weapon is pointed at when the trigger is pulled.\n\nI am not a fan of Cheney at all.  In fact, I really can't stand the guy.  However I think this is an incident that could happen to anyone in a careless moment.  It doesn't necessarily mean he is a bad hunter, just that he had a momentary lapse with serious consequences.

Obviously Cheney shouldn't go.  He didn't kill the guy.  What good would he be?  Come on, think of it.  Now if you want somebody on the front line it should be Teddy Kennedy in a car on a bridge.  All you have to do is get all the terrorists on the bridge......I didn't say it was gonna be easy.

If it was an assassination attempt, then I would presume that Dick Cheney would assume the role of president, and more importantly, Commander-in-chief, under the 25th amendment.  \n\nImmediately afterwards, Dick and the joint chiefs and NSA/CIA/Homeland Security and others will try to figure out who is responsible for the hit.  Then I would assume that a bunch of missiles and bombs will start to drop on whoever was responsible.\n\nThat would be the scenario if it was a faction or a terrorist group.  If it was a sole gunman in, say, Germany, who just sniped the president, then that is a little more complicated, since I doubt they will bomb Germany for that.  (They might if he was in Pakistan, see the disparity).  If the secret service didn't kill the sniper/gunman then, there would be an allout search for him.  If they ever found him, he'd be extradited to the US, tried in the most publicized trial ever, and if convicted, he'd be executed.\n\nIn any case, if the president died, the VP is president, and they'd have to nominate someone to be the VP (probably a senator).

They probably were hunting at a game ranch which doesn't allow dogs.  Cheney has a history of going to these ranches and so he can elsely shoot birds.  Other than that, the dogs were a casualty of previous hunts.

Depends on the weapon, the trajectory, the type of ammunition, etc. But if you shot someone straight up the rectum with something like a .45, they won't have to worry about kissing their arse goodbye, because death will most probably come very quickly.

I believe that Presidents like to shoot their cannons rather than be shot out of a cannon.  Bill was quite adept at it till that anti-American Linda Tripp exposed him.
