Sorry, that’s hunting accident, not hunging.

Hearing some people say that you do not have to report hunging accidents in Texas unless there is a falality.

That’s “somewhat” misleading….if someone ends up in the hospital, the hospital is required to notify law enforcement who is supposed to begin an investigation IMMEDIATELY.

If there is a fatality, then private citizens must notify Police, presumably because the body might not be taken to the hospital. Law enforcement is then supposed to begin an IMMEDIATE investigation.

In sum, if there is a fatality or a hospitalization, investigation is supposed to begin IMMEDIATELY.

I think we need to look at the facts here and not be ignorant – First off – Whittington is not a small man (the size of whatever they were hunting) So in this world I dont think any normal being could make such a mistake as shooting a human assuming it was a bird – That to me does not make sense. 2nd – why did he not visit the man he shot at the hospital the same day instead of wait until the next day? People – think about that – unless he had something to hide. 3) He admits having 1 drink at lunch? Come on – we are talking about Dick – that makes that point.

Anyway – Bottom line is he was drunk when he should his friend!! Pretty sad!!

I think that since Cheney is such a dead-eye, he should go to Iraq and hunt down the insurgents!!!!!

Hey, if you don’t have anything to hide, you shouldn’t complain about taking a face full of buckshot from a drunken VP.

To error is human to be drinking and shooting is stupid?Has A crime been committed, by accident or not? while drinking and shooting in texas. Do the Qails give A hoot if V/Pres. Cheney was drinking? I bet Mr. Wittington does.It goes to the heart of the matter.

YOU WOULD BE GULLIBLE TO NOT BELIEVE DICK THE PUPPET MASTER WAS NOT CARRYING A FLASK FILLED WITH THE BEST BOOZE MONEY COULD BUY.WHY AVOID THE SHERIFF IF YOU WERE COVERING UP THE FACT OF EXCESS DRINKING OF ALCHOL.WHY DO THEY RELEASE THE PHESANTS FROM THE CAGES IN PA.FOR DICK? WHY NOT LET HIM SHOOT ALL 70 IN THIER CAGES,IT WOULD BE JUST AS SPORTING AND MUCH SAFER FOR THE PUBLIC.OR JUST LET HIM DROWN THEM IN THE CAGES,SAME SPORTSMANSHIP AND SAVE AMMO….

What size beer? What was the alcohol content of that beer? Some beers are like having a 6 pack.

I would like to nail Cheney’s ass to the wall, but we can’t say for sure if Cheney was drunk. Simply no evidence right now to support that. Now If evidence shows that Cheney was drunk, this opens up a whole new can of worms, but as of right now, we can’t make that assumption. 1 beer does not constitute “being drunk”.

Here is comes! Open the floodgates, Cheney is going to get hammered on the fact he was drinking.

Honestly, I think we can all assume he was probably under the influence. I have to think he was just by the fact that the police officer(s) were not allowed to enter that evening to talk to him.
