This just happened recently yesterday that vice president Cheney shot a man. It wasn't really his fault though.

Here's the news story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11312757/

What do you think was going on through Cheney's mind?

Cheney was using a 28-guage shotgun and that Whittington was about 30 yards away when he was hit in the cheek, neck and chest.

holy crap. that would hurt.

he is on drugs maybe or maybe he got mad at someone for talking shit about him like that kid buddy did to me and he took it to far and just shot him.

If you watch the video, he did not shoot him twice. He shot the gun, and the kind of ammunition that is used for quail hunting sprays. And what he got hit by was a spray of ammunition.

If he was going for the kill, he wouldn't hit the guy with buckshot. Seriously

Random luck. The guy was thirty yards away, how do you hit him in those spots on purpose?

I wasnt referring to you man. If i was referring to you i would have quoted you. I was referring to the thread. The thread-maker asked for our input and that was mine. I wasnt responding to your thread so there was no reason to neg me.

i never been to uk before so i have never done that. i respect them alot for how much crap they have to put up with and they still don't move. no one here in our rotc can even do that. i was just trying to act like them.

So they are quail hunting and the guy behind Cheney doesnt make the signal that he is there. They scream, "Bird!!!!" they turn and fire. His friend gets sprayed with a few BBs. Accidental and it was minimal injuries.

Buckshot?

Are you saying you don't know what buckshot is?

It's a spray of small pellets from a shotgun

The smile wasn't pride you moron. It was relief.

Unfortunately, hunting accidents do happen all the time. A large percentage of them are fatal. This is actually a situation that turned out for the better.

It said that the VP was using a 28 guage shotgun??? At thirty yards, I am surprised he hit that guy at all. 28 guage shells don't really hold that many shot. The shells are pretty small and the spread isn't very tight. Unless he was using a modified choke. But still, hitting him with more than one of the BBs is pretty impressive at 3o yards.

If it were a 12 or 20 guage, I could see it, but a 28 guage??? No wonder the guy wasn't really hurt that bad.

Haha O_S. Jeffery was answering the question, which distinctly had an ambiguous pronoun:

Q: What was going through his mind?

A: Buckshot?

I think it's obvious that Cheney was fighting terrorism. He simply felt that the usual venue of checks and procedures were too slow and would hinder his capability to stop the terrorists, so he therefore overstepped his boundaries and pursued the fight on terror unconstitutionally. It's a shame innocent people were hurt on Cheney's noble quest from God.

Maybe he had heart palpatations and that caused him to twitch.

Maybe his aim sucks.

Maybe it was subconscious.

I think it's funny they didn't tell anyone for a day. Must have been an issue of Nat'l security.

Except that based on the subject of the previous sentences, the "his" must have been Dick Cheney. And Cheney didn't get shot. Therefore, Jeffery needs to take a grammar class

:p

Those damned quails... can't stop to make sure there aren't any innocents in the way, because by the time you're done checking you're finished

Except that he did not ask "What was going through Cheney's mind?"
He said "his" mind, and since there were TWO men mentioned, i chose the one who got shot to be the one asked about.

He asked what was going ON through his mind?

The buckshot wasn't going on through his mind, it was simply going through his mind (and by the account, I think the skull stopped it either way)

And again, recognition of who pronouns represent is considered a basic skill of learning a language. English is no different ;)

Hey, if you don't want to argue English grammar at 12:30 AM, just say so (or maybe it's only 11:30 in Ohio).

No need to get rude about it

EDIT: You're right, I missed it until monkus pointed it out. What's your point?

Well, being the idiot that Cheny(sp?) is, he was probably really focussed on one of those quails. The other guy got in his shot and WHAM-O!, he got shot. Unfortunately he didn't die so there's no huge crime on Cheny.

Overheard at a Republican Fundraiser:

Republican Staffer: "Wow, thanks for the $100,000 donation to our campaign! As a reward, we'd like to invite you to go hunting with Vice President Cheney."
Donor: "Um...... If I donate another $100,000, can i skip the hunt?"
