No Alcohol Involved?

[deesy58]

CNN is reporting that the Sheriff's Department has stated that no alcohol was involved in the Cheney accidental shooting. But it has also been reported that the Sheriff was not able to interview Cheney until the morning of the day following the shooting. How, then, does he know that alcohol was not involved? Because Cheney said so? If this is the new basis for our laws, there will be no more DUI's anywhere, will there?

1. I was under the impression that the sheriff's office

Was prohibited from examining this chump. So, how did they come up with this conclusion? Apparently, it's a example of the Frist methodology.

4. Secret Service

MSNBC reported that the Secret Service turned away two deputies on Saturday evening, but that the Sheriff interviewed Cheney on Sunday morning.

6. But they were not allowed to interview him right

on the heels of the incident. Tell me, if your relative was the one who was "accidently" shot by someone and you were to find out that because of his wealth and prestige, he was given what can only be termed a break, how would you feel? Taking into consideration that any other person would have a dfferent course of protocol than your family would have been given if the shoe were on the other foot?:eyes:

2. Good posting. . .welcome to DU

Without a source, this will end up in the GD forum.

Please locate a source to keep this in the LBN.

3. The bloodwork on the victim is a better clue

If he's been in two hospitals, I wanna see the report from the first one.

I'm betting they were all drinking.

BTW, I've read that some folks get sexual kicks via killing. Could this "hunt" have merely been the first part of some strange sexual foreplay? A hot evening of unbridled (or bridled, if you prefer) sexual delight?

7. Michael Savage says the whole story is a farce

Yes, they probably all sobered up while trying to formulate a credible story. Remember the Secret Service was there the whole time.

8. Entirely possible, look at his wife. eom

5. I can believe Cheney's just a pop-gun asshole, even sober.

He's just the personality. Egomaniac, all bluster and no substance. He's the kind of guy no one wants to go hunting with.

But who knows? the sheriff probably doesn't know, but without evidence, he probably had to mark it negative.
