No doubt everyone has heard by now about the Cheney incident last weekend where he accidentally shot someone while hunting.
But wait, now they are saying that the shooting was the fault of the 78-year-old victim because he didn’t “notify anyone he was there”, thereby breaking hunting protocol.
????? That is so lame.
To top things off, the victim is reported to have had a mild heart attack. Cheney is “standing by, ready to assist” if needed.
The word is out now that Cheney was hunting illegally and may be charged with violating Texas game laws. Cheney had not paid the required fee to engage in hunting activities. He attempted to cover this up by paying the fee after the fact, but that may not cut it.
Common Dreams has several pieces about this incident:
