NEW YORK-It was bound to happen sooner or later, and in what newspapers in Kentucky are calling a first, one American has killed another in a dispute over the Iraq war.
It happened at Floyd County flea market on Thursday, when two friends, who were firearms vendors there, drew guns after quarreling about the war. Douglas Moore, 65, of Martin, who supports the war, shot and killed Harold Wayne Smith, 56, of Manchester, who opposed it, according to investigators.
Moore was released without being charged after he convinced police he had acted in self-defense.

This quickly escalated into an argument, then to a scuffle, and finally both men drew pistols outside a snack shed. The dead man was just a little slower. Witnesses said he stood for about five seconds before falling on the paved walkway.
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

I doubt that the occupation of firearms dealer draws very many hippie-types; could he have been an isolationist conservative? Figures that the presstitutes would have a field day with it, though...

" Douglas Moore, 65, of Martin, who supports the war, shot and killed Harold Wayne Smith, 56, of Manchester, who opposed it,..." All's well that ends well.

The shooter is not being charged with a crime. The article doesn't provide much detail, but it looks like it was supposed to be a liberal killing a supporter of the war, but he messed with the wrong guy.

I wonder what the DU bunch thinks about this story. It depends on what story your talking about. They probably love the NY version that left out a lot of facts. They probably hate the full version that has the leftist drawing first.

I went to Newspapers for Floyd County. Underneath the photo, it said that the police had investigated and decided from all the evidence that it was self defense. I refused to register to read the full story.

The article said they were both gun vendors. In I think, the second sentence.

"Right always triumphs over wrong" Right. Perhaps not always immediately, but in the end...
