New Hampshire Democrat Admits Mowing Down Group Of Ducks With BMW

[Capt. Obvious]

New Hampshire state Rep. David Campbell (D) said in an interview published Sunday that he was the driver of a BMW that ran over a group of ducks that "didn't move" out of his way outside a hotel last week in Nashua, N.H.

The Nashua Telegraph newspaper reported that a witness said "as many as six" ducks were hit on Dec. 23 outside the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

"I hit some ducks," Campbell told the newspaper. "Some people were feeding ducks on the driveway in front of the Crowne Plaza at 10 o’clock at night … and they didn’t move, and I hit some ducks."

....

The newspaper reported that Murphy believed "as many as six ducks were killed" and multiple other ducks left the scene with "apparent injuries." Murphy said he photographed Campbell's license plate, which caused the politician to exclaim something along the lines of, "The ducks should have moved.”

Asshole

68. reminds me of another duck A$$

[treestar]

2. Doesn't sound like he did it on purpose

Birds usually do fly away as soon as something gets anywhere near them.

But it does sound kind of funny his assigning liability to the ducks.

[Ranchemp.]

6. He could have stopped his car, gotten out and shooed them away,

instead he kept going and ran them over, sounds like he didn't give a shit if he hit them or not.
What an asshole he is.

[redqueen]

58. Exactly. nt

[Xipe Totec]

31. Would you mind explaining that snarky remark?

Are you saying we give politicians a pass if they're Democrats?

Based on your extensive experience at DU?

[Ranchemp.]

32. Judging by the replies on this thread,

we don't give someone a pass just because they happen to have a D behind their name, and I'm with you, I would like to see an explaination of that remark also.

[Ranchemp.]

34. You were alluding that the poster was excusing the deed

because he was a Dem, which was in no way the case.

BTW, welcome to DU.

[Ranchemp.]

37. "By the way, I was echoing YOUR sentiments"

No, you weren't, in no way did I suggest that the poster was excusing the driver because he is a Dem.

With an attitude like yours, well, enjoy your stay here.

[Ranchemp.]

42. You practically accused him of minimizing it

because it was a Dem, which in no way did that occur, YOU made the ASSUMPTION without fact.

As I said, enjoy your stay here.

45. Getting nasty early.

[Ranchemp.]

48. Awww.

MIRT took the trash out early.

[hrmjustin]

51. Yes we did.

[Ranchemp.]

54. Good job hrmjustin.

[hrmjustin]

57. The team says your welcome.

[Ranchemp.]

47. Wow, you figured out that I'm not a liberal all in the space of 2 1/2 hours.

Hmmmmmmm.

[William769]

50. Are your feathers ruffled?

Maybe you should have flown south for the winter.

I am sure you can go to the library & get a book on where to go in the south for the winter that is of course if your not already at the library.

[hrmjustin]

60. She sounds pissed.

[Xipe Totec]

35. Answer the question.

Do you think people get a pass here simply because they're Democrats?

Your time here has a lot to do with how well you know us.

[LordGlenconner]

19. Actually it makes him sound like kind of an asshole

This is the kind of things assholes do, after all.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

20. I don't think ducks are as nimble as, say, pigeons.

Pigeons - you couldn't hit those things if you tried. Ducks, not so much.

[narnian60]

28. Exactly. nt

[OwnedByCats]

41. I saw a pigeon in the UK get hit by a bus

I thought also that it would move. Unfortunately it didn't. Maybe the pigeons in the UK are less nimble.

[msanthrope]

62. I ran over a pigeon about two years ago. Was parking the car...thought the damn thing would move.

It didn't. I felt terrible.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

63. Probably suicide. don't feel bad

[treestar]

65. My neighborhood has suicidal squirrels

They run across the street suddenly at the wrong time!

[Rex]

64. It sounds like he did it just to run over the ducks.

Funny how a story can sound completely different to people. All he had to do was go around the ducks, but no. Killing things is easier.

[snooper2]

3. I need to pay my dues and get my star back

The "League of Angels" ad showing animi chicks stripping to a hot shower is making me ROFLMAO

I'm trying to correlate that with the "duck" story LOL

[Scuba]

8. Gee, maybe I WON'T renew mine!

[Vashta Nerada]

12. If you're on Chrome or Firefox, an extension called AdBlock really works well.

[snooper2]

15. I don't do extensions, all natural baby!

[TwilightGardener]

4. What an asshole. Why do people assume animals will move out of the way?

Fucking jerk saw them and kept going anyway.

[Capt. Obvious]

5. Depending on the animal

I usually don't swerve as that seems to guarantee I hit the animal.

[warrior1]

7. karma's going to be a bitch for this murderer

[MADem]

9. What an idiot--the idea is to be mad at the DUCK DYNASTY assholes, not the DUCKS!!!

File that twit under "people unclear on the concept."

He's a state rep....they don't spend much time doing their political jobs. It's get in-vote-get out up there.

That said, doesn't the idiot understand that the idea is to MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS?????

[joeybee12]

10. Ignorant little asshole...

Let's hope he gets booted out of office.

[Drunken Irishman]

11. I've seen this Seinfeld episode!

WE HAD A DEAL!

[Zorra]

13. That's really cold. nt

[Auntie Bush]

14. I'm ashamed he's a Democrat.

I could never vote for him so glad he isn't in my state. This sounds more like something a ReThug would do! This man has no heart and is damn right cruel.

[Rex]

16. To be a big man, you must kill the things that get in your way.

Big man! So when does he run over some kittens next? You know, because they are in his way.

[MrScorpio]

17. He was driving a BMW...

A sure sign that he's an asshole

[LordGlenconner]

21. +1

[MrScorpio]

25. It's not an opinion either, it's scientific FACT!

[6000eliot]

23. Why can't we "like" posts on here?

[snooper2]

49. and intelligent, you can have more than one trait at a time FYI

[monmouth3]

22. I wonder if he were a repub the headline would read:

New Hampshire Republican Admits Mowing Down Group Of Ducks With BMW...

[Capt. Obvious]

26. Based on the source: Yes

24. "Live free or die"

Its how they roll.

[TheCowsCameHome]

27. What a jerk.

I hope he gets tossed out of office.

[marsis]

29. Ah, he was hunting,

so all's well.

[dhill926]

30. fuck this guy…..

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. Does the (D) after his name make him a "not as bad" asshole?

[RedCappedBandit]

40. Further proof that sociopaths rise to high stations in society. nt

[Rex]

55. +1

nt.

[OwnedByCats]

43. Jerk

As slow as he was going, there was no excuse to hit them.

[truth2power]

46. Arrogant SOB!!...

They may have been geese and not ducks. People sometimes equate the two in conversation. We have lots of Canada Geese around where I live. They saunter across the road and don't seem to be bothered by cars. I enjoy watching them.

I've gotten out of my car and shooed them across the road. OR, I JUST WAIT UNTIL THEY CROSS. Where, I ask, did that shithead have to be that he couldn't wait a few minutes until they got across the road, or take his lazy ass out of the car and shoo them across?? Ugh!

His actions and his comments show him to be a first-class jerk. Glad he's not my Rep.


> > >

ETA: Oh, and reading some of the comments here, I don't care if he's the Second Coming of Christ, he's still an asshole in my book!

[steve2470]

52. This guy needs to resign or be voted out of office

We Democrats should be above this sort of brazen animal cruelty.

[redqueen]

56. Asshole is right.

WTF is wrong with some people?

[alp227]

61. Flamebait title by TPM (not you)

What is going ON with TPM?

[Pretzel_Warrior]

67. Clicks, clicks, and more clicks

[Capt. Obvious]
