NEW YORK Showing the value of its nearly round-the-clock coverage, the Lone Star Iconoclast, a weekly in Crawford, Texas, reported this morning from the scene that shots had been fired near the Cindy Sheehan antiwar encampment near the Bush ranch, which has drawn national attention.
Apparently they were fired by a local landowner none too pleased with the protest in his neighborhood.

Interviewed afterward, protest leader Cindy Sheehan said it was okay if the man fired his gun on his own property, so long as the bullets remained on his property as well.
Aha, I see Cindy has a lawyer in her camp somewhere. I assumed the farmer fired into the air, and I don't have a good reason for the assumption. He could have easily fired into his own ground and stayed well within his legal rights.

Hmmm! Someone must be trying for the big time on that local paper. There is a big difference between firing shots "AT" something, and firing shots "NEAR" something...
