Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has been rapped on the knuckles before about spreading fake news stories.
It didn't do much good.
Miller posted a story to his campaign's Facebook page about three hunters attacked by Mexican immigrants while camping near Candelaria earlier this month. It had all the elements of a sensational piece, especially for someone who backs hard-core immigration laws.
The hunters, New Mexico hunting guide Walker Daugherty, 26, Florida chiropractor Dr. Edwin Roberts and Michael Bryant, each suffered gunshot wounds and told a tale of being attacked in an attempt to steal the RV the group was using.
But, the Presidio County Sheriff Office reached the conclusion on Friday that the three hunters shot each other.

(37,449 posts)an officer in the the town over called for an assist....after a guy report shooting a large bear, in a corn field. Upon arriving and searching the area he found the victim, a human with a two gunshot wounds. Turns out the victim was the hunting partner of the victim. Neither were wearing the hunter orange then.The officer asked why he shot and then shot again. The shooter thought he was a bear (unseen) and shot he second time because the bear made a loud groaning and growling sounds. Luckily he survived.

(35 posts)Side Miller also believed that "Jesus Shots" (whatever the hell that means, probably some forms of pray the pain away) for his back pain (& his trip up to Oklahoma to get them) would be an approved treatment the taxpayers of Texas should pay for for him. Whoever gets their news from his Facebook page probably agrees with him.
