why did the vice prez shot that guy in the face?

Because he was drunk. The Secret Service refused to allow local police to interview him until several hours after the incident.

There was illegal activities in the club. If they made 1 more bust they would be able to have closed down the club. That's why the undercover cop was there.\n  I don't thionk it was a racist shooting, but 50 rounds is alot. I suppose when your in a neighborhood that has a high crime rate and who's residents hate the cops, you might have an itchy trigger finger.\n  As for Al Sharpton, he will do anything for publicity, even though this time there may be some merit to it

Well, our vice president shot someone a few weeks ago.  There was no investigation.

Yes except for the part about hitting him in the face.

Hey, if you're telling the truth, you need a lawyer, man, and a good one at that!!  I don't know about Maine, but I'm sure there must be some fellas up there who are willing to take on a case like this ... I don't know how police can shoot someone in the head twice and not have an investigation into the shooting ... I would've thought they were responsible for accounting for every bullet fired ... as I said, get a lawyer, and get him quick!!

He doesn't have good form.  I think he's a little self-conscious about it.  He looks like he tries to aim it in, rather than just be loose and shoot it.

I think if it hadn't been for Cheney the V.P, he would have sued the **** out of the person who shot him.  The fact that he didn't sue Cheney doesn't necessarily mean that he's an incompetent lawyer.  Probably he was paid off on the side...or given some lifelong benefit that discouraged the lawyer from sueing.

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.

I wouldn't go anywhere near Dick if he had a gun. I just read an article about how he doesn't really hunt he goes to a private game farm where they release farm-raised birds for you. During the 2004 election campaign, Dick and some other rich guys killed 417 of 500 birds let loose for them.\nDick killed 70 of the 417 there were nine other rich dudes in his group of "hunters".\nAlso I want to add it is not your fault if you get shot unless you shoot yourself. When you pick up a gun you need to look before you shoot. Not shoot then look. Duh.

Well... Even though I think this was just posted by another uber-lib trying to take any crack at the administration that they can....\n\nWe know of at least 2 besides this recent accidental "shooting"... Aaron Burr, VP to Jefferson (The famous duel between Burr and Hamilton)... and Teddy Roosevelt (Not during his time as VP, but during his service time in military units)\n\nhard to get information on many of the older VP's on something like this. But we can probably assume more since the times in the earlier parts of US history had more people carrying around weaponry in places like the west. As well as others who may have served during the American Revolution etc....

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.

Cheney's friend did not die, the same can not be said for Mary Joe Kapekne.  Before you go and say that was so long ago do not forget the rape case in the Kennedy coumpound in West Palm Beach, and just recently another Kennedy was popped driving under the influence and was given the same preferential treatment as good old Teddy. Let's not forget Jefferson who accepted a $100,000 bribe then gets upset because the FBI searched his office as part of the investigation. What Clinton did (&^%*# an intern) would have gotten any CEO of a US company fired, but nothing was done for that (remember the empeachment was for lying to the Grand Jury under oath). Another Dem smacks a security guard because he asked her for I.D... Let's face it ALL politicians get preferential treatment. That's the problem, if you want to say the other side gets more preferential treatment I could go on. If I really have to go on, there is just no sense of doing so.

My understanding is that it is not illegal to accidentally shoot someone while hunting.  If that is correct, then the answer is never.\n\nAccording to CNN, Cheney has been officially cleared and the shooting was ruled a hunting accident.

I'm sure he was sober, just real old. Besides, people get shot birdhunting all the time.. its nothing new, it just becomes a big deal when the vice-president shoots someone. Maybe we shouldn't let vice-presidents hunt birds.

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

Good point! I've seen much worse damage on somebody's face who got shot with a pellet gun!
