NYT: CHENEY FACES GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION IF MAN DIES... In Texas, Carlos Valdez, the district attorney in Kleberg County, said a fatality would immediately spur a new report from the local sheriff and, most likely, a grand jury investigation... MORE...
Yes.
If someone jumped in front of a car moving at 65 mph in a 60 mph zone and that person dies, does the driver of the car face manslaughter charges?
It's all government control and regulation. The difference between us is that I'm consistent - I don't want the government regulating to the extent that it does. You, apparently, don't mind as long as it's regulation you desire:
There are good reasons to slow down game taking in a world where city-slicker hunters outnumber the sustainable population and lakes must be stocked manually. For no other reason, it gives metrics on how many hunters/fishers there are so as to estimate the impact on the critters.
As far as squirrel, my grandmother's only recipe for squirrel was boiling it ... I never developed a liking for it.
Depends on his political affiliation and position.
I'm not a hunter so please forgive my ignorance.
Do you need to have a hunting license to hunt on private property?
Yes. Licensing, permitting and seasons all apply on public or private land. It varies widely from state to state, but I believe every state requires some sort of license to hunt, regardless of public or private property.
I absolutely agree with you. I would put nothing past these evil liberals.
Are you kidding me? I certainly hope that you never accidentally kill someone. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. MURDER is intentional. Manslaughter is clear and compelling negligence. This was an accident.
This is the same dumbing down that has occurred with blurring the lines between lying and being mistaken. I am so stunned by that statement that I don't quite know how to react.
my thoughts exactly. The commie dems would love for him to die.
you are all too correct!! I would hate to be trying to 'get well' if I were he!
It's happened. I know someone who was DRUNK and ran across a busy street and got killed and the driver was up on charges. I know a man who was driving his wife somewhere and got into an accident. His wife was killed. He faced manslaughter charges. Is it right? No. It DOES happen though. My main concern was that Cheney not having a lisence but the smoking gun put that rumor to rest.

The more I hear about this story, the crazier I think it is that this is such a big deal. The latest were Hillary's comments. I find it comical that Hillary could point the finger at ANYONE who is under an investigation with all the stuff she is involved in.
And since when does the NYT make up the laws????
Oh yes, please forgive me, I forgot, they make up everything....
I felt kinda stupid after you answered my question yesterday, saying that they probably kept count as they removed them. I thought, "Oh, okay, the article did not say they were still embedded." Now I read this today:
"Hospital officials said they were not concerned about the six to 200 other pieces of birdshot that might still be lodged in Whittington's body."
I was just wondering how they can say this. Are there not visible points of entry on the skin? Either six or 200? That's quite a range. I don't know anything about pellets. That's why I'm curious.
I've seen that 6 - 200 quote many places. My guess is a doctor probably said it, pretty much to indicate he really doesn't know, and numb-above-the-neck reporters have repeated it verbatim.
Get over yourself. Either argue with me about my posts, or broadcast your pre-prepared complaints to "All."
You aren't discussing this issue with me, you're just spouting your plattitudes with me as a target because I countered your opinion of wild game laws.
If you were interested in understanding what "I mind," you'd clearly have read what I wrote as a pro-State's Rights line. My posts have in no way indicated that I want an auto-archichal state where I get to set the rules that I like. I like some state laws, and I dislike some just like you. I like ALL OF THEM that were set by due process as the Constitution requires. I abhorr all of them the the FedGov has unjustly usurped, or that the Judicial branch as decreed by fiat.
Again, if you want to discuss this, I'm more than willing, FRiend. If you're just going to keep deriding me as a toady for laws, then you needn't waste any more of my time, thankyouverymuch!
Please..I mean NO harm..it is opinion.
I mean, In the context of " the noraml man on the street" This may be how it presents. I do not think the VP should be held LESS accountable than anyone else. The law IS the law. If you or I were in the same scenario, The law should apply. I feel very bad for what Mr. Cheney is feeling, right now.
But constructive theory should always be heard.
