I need to apologize to you, Dan. I was referring to the comment you made in #41. Having read it again I see now that you were putting forth a hypothetical scenario at the White House. I read it too quickly the first and thought you'd said the shooting wasn't important enough for the White House's attention. Again, I'm sorry. GayPatriotWest, #61. I need to apologize to you, Dan.

Perhaps, Mr. Whittington was making fun of him and he went crazy and shot back in his face. You and I will never know…

Note that saying the victim moved and stepped in front of the gun at an unlucky moment is not attacking him. In the context of hunting, it's entirely possible. P.S.
