Nobody would go to jail in a situation like this. It was a hunting accident, and the only people thinking Cheney should go to jail are people who hate Cheney already.
Hunting accidents are very common, and usually the shooter is a friend of the victim. This is part of why I don't go hunting.
Cheney isn't like Chi Vang, who clearly went people hunting.
Ambulance fugo said "Well if I was your friend you can rest assured that I wouldn't shoot you, accidentally or intentionally" While I believe you would never intent to accidentally shoot a friend while hunting, the word accident implies that events happened outside the intentions of the people involved. If accidents were absolutely preventable, they would be called on-purposes rather than accidents.
If you go hunting, you could accidentally shoot a friend, just like if you drive a friend somewhere, you could get into a crash, and see that friend suffer serious injuries or death.
I thought about this when I heard him on the radio.
ReplyDeleteIf one of my really good friends was to hurt me accidently and then took a bunch of heat over it, I'd defend them.
Wouldn't you?
Wow. Glad I'm not your friend.
