Fox was just reporting that the victim was "at fault" in the accident. He came up from behind of the VP and didn;t signal. The VP didn't see him.

Even if that is true somehow I doubt that's how the media will cover it.

Does birdshot spray? So you don't have to be directly in front of it to get hit?

According to Mrs. Armstrong, who owns the ranch and was a witness, the victim came from behind and didn't signal. She said the injury is one that wasn't serious but because Cheney has a huge medical contingent with him at all times, including an ambulance, they took over his care immediately.
Mrs. Armstrong is also quoted that this type of accident happens frequently and that she herself has been hit a few times.

A shooting victim is "at-fault" for getting shot?!?!?
I guess RHIP after all.
I'd hate to get rear-ended by the Cheney motorcade while I was stopped at a red light. I'd not only get hospitalized, but I'd get ticketed too, for "causing the accident!
Anybody wanna lay odds on the chance of any "normal"-class citizen managing to pull off an "it was the other guy's fault" (that you shot him) defense -- and getting away with it?
(My guess is that not only would you lose, but you'd also get sanctioned eleven ways to Sunday for insulting the Court's intelligence and wasting its time with that "novel approach to a shooting defense.")
