did Dick cheney shot the man on accident or on purpose?

he is a demicrate so he shot the man on purpose.

That's a hard one... I suppose it would be Dick cuz he shot someone in the face though. The biggest crook of them all  would be Karl Rove.

He never died! He was wise enough to take on a new identity, and just make it "LOOK" as if he died.\n\nI'll bet Dick Cheney knows all about where he is, what his new name is and how to contact him. But you'd be better off asking a car salesman than asking Cheney, although they all go to the same school for learning deception.

He got shot because his gun jammed and he couldn't shoot the guy (I want to say it was a bank robbery) but Horatio shot the guy (not in time to save speedle).  It came to light that speedle had failed to clean his gun properly which they covered up.

I can tell you exactly what that smell is....Vice President Cheney took another guy hunting!\nHe didn't shoot him but got close,\nthe smell is the guys underwear.

No no no...the correct answer is:\n\nONE...he accidentally smashed it when he and his 4 buddies were actually trying to beat up the innocent black dude lying on the ground trying to defend himself...but the one cop's baton bounced off the black guy's head and hit the headlight instead...

I'm not sure about the state laws there, but here in Oregon, Cheney would have been charged with reckless endangerment with a firearm.\n\nI like how double standards apply to regular citizens, politicians, & highly-paid pro athletes.

YES.  A gentleman would never do those things.  \n\nThey should have said "The man shot 4 people...."  Oh, and of course nowadays we have to add the word "allegedly"....<rolleyes>

All that and more: the stop lights on my way to work were mistimed, so I missed them both. But I think that was Cheney's fault.\nIf only liberals could take a joke... one that's not named Clinton or Kennedy, that is.

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.

He should not get jailed for acciedently shooting someone, but he should get fined for not having the proper lisence for the type of bird he was hunting. Just because he is the Vice President of the United States, he is not above the law.

this is one of those times you need to just throw your political feelings out the window and keep an open mind.  add to it the fact that the story is not yet finished and it's hard to predict what will happen to mr. cheney, and (more importantly) harry whittington.  \n\ni don't know if there is any legal precedent for having a sitting vice president be removed from office for an offense like this.  mr. cheney is very unpopular with many people (including me) because of his political views, but i have to feel a little bit for the guy because it was, after all, an 'accident'.  i don't agree with the fact cheney hasn't addressed the issue... but saying 'impeach him' because of this incident is a knee-jerk reaction by those who didn't like him last week either.  i'm gonna read up more and see where this story leads before continuing...\n\nps::: well i see where mr. whittington was released from the hospital, so thankfully your scenario won't play out.  i am very curious though about the 'holes' in cheney's story.  \n\npps::: it's funny, at first i felt sorry for the vice-president, but now that whittington is ok, my feeling has turned more toward disgust with cheney.  i wonder why this is?

Yeah... Wow! That was a hard and lucky shot.\nBut it would be cool if he actually planned it. He could never tell anyone anyways that way he can do it again in another fight.\n\nI think he was hurt though and just happend to aim right.

No, that's not why he did it... It's because Cheney kept breaking them.\n\nGlass shards are dangerous, you know.

One way to look at it is to contrast something Bush did about 6 years ago. He was hunting with Karen Hughes (no he didn't pepper her with bird shot, unfortunately) and they killed some protected species od dear.\n\nThe first thing they did was go out and tell people, apologize and then thats the end of that.\n\nCheney didn't do that, nor would he talk to the Sheriff until the next day. They were drinking there, and Cheney is on various heart medications (although all the details are hidden too) which don't mix with alcohol.\n\nSo was he impared? Probably not, but we'll never know now.

No, they are good friends.\n\nThe guy who got shot by Cheney donates big time to the Republican Party.\n\nJust a few superficial gunshots won't change that.\n\nThese are diehards!

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).
