Gay Anti-War Immigrant Shoots Friend of Vice President Dick Cheney

By Ion Zwitter, Avant News Editor
Armstrong, Texas, February 15, 2007

A gay immigrant anti-war activist hunting together with Vice President Dick Cheney reportedly shot and seriously wounded a member of their party earlier this week in what has been termed an "alleged hunting accident". The victim, 78-year-old attorney Harry Whittington, sustained major shotgun trauma to the face, neck and chest, and is currently in critical condition at a hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, battling potentially lethal heart complications brought on by his injuries.

According to Vice President Dick Cheney's eyewitness account, the shooter, Chauncey Thimbles of Providence, Rhode Island, failed to follow basic hunting procedure when he fired his "sissified 28-gauge Italian designer girly-gun" on what he claimed was a covey of quail, instead striking Mr. Whittington, who was approaching behind him and to the right, "full in the face from thirty yards away." Mr. Whittington, who had been hunting together with Vice President Dick Cheney and Mr. Thimbles at the 50,000 acre Armstrong ranch in Armstrong, Texas, was struck by between 100 and 200 lead pellets of the kind used in small game hunting.
