Dick "Death Blossom" Cheney. I just read that term this morning--death blossom. It apparently refers to the tendency of Iraqi soldiers in combat to simply begin simultaneously shooting in every direction--friends, enemies, bystanders, nobody, anybody--simply shooting non-discriminately in every direction at once. Ol Death Blossom Dick! Someone ought to make up a Western wanted poster. Anyway, I believe the general consensus here is that the shooter is ultimately responsible. After all, someone could shoot you and claim you stepped in their line of sight. Their has to be an assumption of guilt on the part of the shooter. Otherwise no tellin what some yay hoo might do if'n he feelin ornery.
