- Cheney lied, and got his buddies to lie for him.
- Cheney had to have been either crazy or impaired to manage to shoot a person, in the daylight (it was still well before sunset when they claim the incident took place""if it was actually later, then that's another lie), at the range necessary to inflict these wounds with that gun.
Mr. Whittington's injuries are extensive enough that multiple pieces of birdshot are now lodged in his heart, and have caused him to suffer a "silent" heart attack. He is currently in intensive care at a hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Closer to my own heart (as an animal rights advocate), there is an additional issue in this case to discuss. Dick Cheney has previously been on "canned" hunts, where cage-raised birds are let loose to be slaughtered by "hunters" like Cheney and his rich, elitist pals. These birds have no sense of instinct to escape humans, no sense of danger being around humans with shotguns. These aristocratic quail "hunts" are done from automobiles as well, which is about as ridiculous as you can get.
"Hunters" like Cheney and his pals are useless excuses for human beings. They kill for the joy of the slaughter, with no challenge, and no ethical code.
So, basically, we've got ourselves a Vice President, a guy with his finger on the button, who kills merely for the joy of killing God's creatures. We've got a VP who broke the law, evaded law enforcement officials, enjoyed his dinner while his companion had birdshot lodged in his heart, committed a felony in the state of Texas and is not being held accountable, and hasn't even bothered to offer a public apology to his victim and his victim's family""not even a few words of well wishing.
Best wishes to Mr. Harry Whittington for a full and speedy recovery.
