It was Whittington's fault...according to the "news". nt

1. Well of course it was!

We can't have the leader of the free world...er...the vice leader of the free world looking like a careless dope can we?

I'm sure they got to the victim and found a "witness" as fast as they could. It was all the victims fault.

On to the next lie/cover up/f*ck up.

3. I read that, what does it say of responsibility?

That those who pull the trigger are not held responsible?

OTOH, I figure that people who go shooting voluntarily accept some risk. If one goes skydiving, there's a chance the secondary parachute won't open if the first malfunctions, and a death is likely. Boxing has resulted in deaths, as well as the Ali syndrome. As with most any sport, hunting has an inherent lethal danger for the participants.

It still doesn't excuse the delay in reporting the accident. Whether hunting accidents are required to be reported, or not, one would hope that an accident involving an elected official would be promptly reported; that it isn't tells us a lot about how much control some have over the media, and it doesn't inspire much confidence in media coverage.
