1. Was that Cheney, perhaps? Seriously, though, this is bad news.

Thankfully no one was injured.

7. Probably George, all jealous that Unca Dick got to do it. nt.

2. Where's Cheney today?

Sick joke, I know. Sorry.

I'd bet the farm that it's a GI that just got stop lossed again, or a Full Metal Jacket type situation.

3. I wonder if its an Iraqi vet with PTSD

Some of them are having trouble coping when they get back. My friend's ex-lover killed himself shortly after he returned from his second deployment.

5. CHENEY!

Once a shooter hits a target, there's no stopping them!

8. At least they kill the alligators

around here after they've attacked a human or even a dog. Maybe they should do the same thing with humans who attack other humans? Accident or not, once a man like him gets the taste of human blood, they always want more.

Glad no one was hurt. Hope they catch the bastards.
