11. thank you I read the report..the weather was clear and sunny yet the

visibility was FAIR...LOL What was cheney drinking? visibility was fair or the booze made his eyes hazy.

[muntrv]

2. He apparently

did NOT have a license to hunt.

[Jacobin]

Had the basic license but not the upland game stamp

[JuniperLea]

3. I'm betting he can slither out of the "game bird stamp"

These were birds raised for the express purpose of being shot by guests at the ranch. It could hardly be called hunting.


Time will tell...

[Sparkly]

4. Okay, what's P&W Code 43.652?

That's the cited for "Game law violated."... :shrug:

[rodeodance]

12. why is there no date of filing of this? or did I miss it?

[Renew Deal]

18. It was filed today,

Check the bottom of page 2. That might not be abnormal. The Game Warden's office probably doesn't work on weekends.

19. Look at the police report!

This guy is lucky to be alive (bird shot or not). That's a very tight pattern. No way that was 30 yards from the shooter.

[Jacobin]

23. I agree completely

I shoot shotguns a fair amount and there is NO WAY IN HELL he was thirty yards away.

He was within 20 yards and probably more like 15.

Cheney is an irresponsible idiot, but then we already knew that

[chelsea0011]

10. So alcohol wasn't an issue. Did they check the VP for sobriety?

[rodeodance]

16. Gregory said that Sec. Service not allow police to talk to cheney till

the next day. so we do know.

[rodeodance]

17. he said this on Tweety tonight.

[cyberpj]

20. an "investigation reveals that there was no alcohol..." (the day after) .

What investigation? Asking him the day after it happened? Yeah, you can believe him too.

[Neil Lisst]

22. A man shot another man, fled the scene, refused to talk to police.

Then he didn't say anything about it to the press, and his fellow hunters did likewise.

What can we conclude?

1. Gunshot - the presumption would normally be that the shooter had committed a crime, his flight suggesting so.

2. Conspiracy - to deprive police the opportunity to investigate

3. Flight to avoid prosecution - by leaving the jurisdiction

4. Hunting without proper licensure

5. Hunting under the influence, and had to sleep it off

But, once again, law doesn't apply to Darth Cheney or the Bush administration, and their Secret Service operates more like a palace guard than law enforcement.

As Daffy Duck would say DES-SPIC-ABLE!!
