Thread Name: BS: Shotgun Cheney
Subject: RE: BS: Shotgun Cheney
Dewey asked - "Is your desire for a manslaughter conviction, because you do not like Mr. Cheney as a person? and/or the Republican Leadership specifically?"

I don't know Mr. Cheney so how can I judge him as a person? I judge his actions because he is the 2nd in command of the U.S.A. Whether or not he's Republican, has nothing to do with the fact.

He shot a man accidently and should be tried. In Canada its called bodily harm due to criminal negligence. I thought manslaughter would be more fitting because he is responsible for the slaughter of thousands. I am not surprised that he is trigger happy and anyone who supports a 'hunter' who shoots first and asks questions later is not someone who should be allowed to carry a gun of any kind.

How can you possibly mistake a man for a bird? Gimme a break, Cheney and his companion were just plain careless. What kind of a sport shoots before seeing his prey?

I do not hope for anyone's death. I'm just chuckling about the karma.

Cheney says this was the worst day of his life. I'm sure! He tried to cover the entire situation by transporting the victim to a small, out of the way, hospital. He got caught. I'm sure it was embarassing and he knew it would make him look like the fool he is. Does he feel remorse? I doubt it. If he had an ounce of empathy, he would not be supporting and profitting from the invasion of Iraq.

Cheney is hardly impotent. He is a danger to society.
