<div class="IPBDescription">Now with video...</div> Lesson 1: Cameras, and You

<a href='http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,101855,00.html' target='_blank'>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,101855,00.html</a>

I wake up and I see this on the news, an attorney getting shot several times point blank outside a courthouse. Amazingly he actually seemed just fine, and was able to dodge a few shots. The guy who shot him tried to walk away, problem was about <b>a dozen camera crews had been watching this</b>, and one cameraman was actually walking next to him pointing at him as the shooter. Shooter gets tackled, attorney goes to hospital, madness. Watch the video, I have no idea how the attorney lived through this.

Lesson 2: The Secret Service, and You

<a href='http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,101929,00.html' target='_blank'>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,101929,00.html</a>

Some nutty lady drives her car into the same building the President was speaking in. Not only that, but she had 3 kids in the car with her and was fighting the police. Shes lucky as hell the Secret Service didn't decide to shoot her (which they would have had plenty of reason to).

Conclusion:

What can we learn from this kids? Don't try killing somone...

1. If they are infront of a camera crew...
2. If they are being protected by the Secret Service and local police force...

The only surprising part about all this is that it didn't happen in Florida.

    I hope you guys are trying to pretend ignorant when you joke about Fox News credibility...

    I saw this video earlier, I think it might have been on CNN, I don't remember, I usually skip around between Fox News and CNN.

    I was impressed to see how the attorney just got behind the tree and started circling around it trying to stay on the opposite side. Quite odd how the man calmly put away the gun and slowly walked away as people literally <i>watched</i> him shoot the man.

    CWAG and Vulgar do you know anything about the news stations ... ?

    ...

    Fox News... not their entertainment channel Fox. It is it's own channel. Have you seen it ? Have you seen the website ?

    Do you watch the news.. ?

    Yeah that attorney shooting was funny as hell. I'd feel bad for the guy except... he's an attorney...


    BTW: It was just a lousy .22, easilly survivable. Not to mention the guy was a lousy shot...

    Ok, we've established you don't watch the major news stations alright..

    First of all, this is Foxnews website...

    <a href='http://www.foxnews.com/' target='_blank'>Fox News.</a>

    You should search for their cable news network also.

    This is Fox's entertainment channel.

    <a href='http://fox.com/home.htm' target='_blank'>See the difference ?</a>

    <a href='http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/West/10/31/lawyer.shot/index.html' target='_blank'>CNN News Article</a>

    I can't give you the CNN video, because they charge you to watch them.

    I casually watch CNN, I do not watch for an extended period and I had trouble believing that gun was even REAL. he would have gotten better results stabbing him with a wood chip.

    A person can easily take shots in the arm and such with a low caliber weapon from close range, especially if they have poor aim..

    People don't die from being shot in the arms and legs instantly like video games teach you...

    Its amusing.
    Post ANYTHING related to Fox News and you're automatically an ignorant tool.

    Does anyone actually watch Fox News? Have they seen the reporting? Its pretty fair and balanced. I won't deny it has a conservative slant, but CNN has a liberal slant (and no when blows a load whenever CNN is quoted...).

    That just didn't look real.

    The guy got shot in the face and "several times in the upper body" yet he didn't even seem to be knocked backwards, is that a BB gun or something??

    I'm not saying it wasn't real, i'm just saying it didn't LOOK real.

    Also, whoever made the comment about it being a .22, i'm not gun expert, but surely pretty much any gun would usually kill someone with a shot to the head?

    Fox News is biased. CNN is biased. Of course, you just hate Fox News because <b>godforbid</b> there be another opionion on the subject. Sucks that we all arent forced to depend on CNN for coverage, and people now have a choice of where they want to get their news from dosent it?

    On the matter of the attorney surviving, dosen't matter what caliber gun you use, if you get shot in the head your chance of survival is very very very low. And watching the video again, there were several times that the gunman was pointing directly at his head. I don't think the attorney actually realized he was shot for awhile either as he just walks away after looking confused (likely in shock though).

    Everyone knows that grown men can take twenty, possibly even thirty, rounds from a machine gun before they drop.

    But seriously, i watched the clip, and while this would normally be completely horriffic, it was actually quite comedy to watch.

    I'm going to hell.

    It was a .22 most likely. They don't pack much punch. Every place said 'multiple chest wounds'. They said he was BLEEDING from the face, but that could've been from a graze... not to mention there's plenty of places in your face you can get shot and survive easilly. A .22 fires soft bullets. They could hit his skull and just ricochet off.
