I just heard he had a small heart attack due to some bird shot moving within his body and becoming lodged in his heart. If this continues to happen and he eventually dies from it, should Cheney be prosecuted?
penguinfan said:without being politically motivated I would say no, it wan an accident and should be treated as such. If Joe Nobody did the same thing I imagine it would be treated as accidental and thus no reason to prosecute.
I'm obviously not a lawyer, but I would think at worst a civil suit would be the most servere outcome.

penguinfan said:The civil suit idea was if Joe Nobody was involved, I understand Whittington has a ton of cash already and has no need to sue the VP.
I think if nothing comes of it then people will cry it's preferential treatment even when it's really not.
Heyward said:Impossible to say since nobody on this board actually knows what happened (and maybe never will). It may be that Whittington himself is the one at fault here. No way to know unless you were there, but I can't imagine that he would be prosecuted unless a witness steps forward to say Cheney was drunk or something.
wareagle said:the saddest part of this story is that the (((lefties))) are seemingly GLAD this happened, as it provides yet another opportunity to bash the current administration
worse yet, i feel there are probably a significant number of people who WANT the man to die so it would be worse on the VP
the focus on bashing has gone too far..
it no longer matters what is best, the only important thing is to make the administration look bad
a man is hurt and in pain due to a terrible accident due to the negligence of both the VP and the injured man....
just hope that he has a speedy recovery
