Be sure of your target and what’s behind it
Some people don’t follow that rule so you should definitely not go stand in front of guns that are being fired: A FEMALE protester has been shot in the face on the opening day of the 2011 duck shooting season in western Victoria this morning.

Stupid should hurt. Lord help us if she procreates

Maybe Dick Cheney will invite her over once she is healed up.

Necro’ed article.
Over two years old.

Oops, sorry. You did mention that.

Two years ago, but still a good reminder. Good thing that this doesn’t happen more often. People are not as stupid with guns as often as the anti’s would wish. Of course, we’d all be dead if we f’d up with guns as often as they imagine. It seems that guns will never be the solution to the world’s overpopulation problem. They just keep the peace, and we’re going to have to get real on our own.

I hope he had a tag to fill, or the game warded would be all over him.
Besides, I think it might have been out of season hippy poaching.

Who thinks its a good idea to protest hunting by standing where hunter will shoot? While there is an case to be made that maybe the hunter should not have shot at a bird flying that low, it still takes a special type of stupid to going into a hunting grounds were you know people will be shoot firearms.

Given the age of the article, it would be interesting to know the outcome – did the hunter in question get harassed? Did the woman catch a clue? Enquiring minds want to know!
I did manage to find out that the hunter was a 14yo boy – and that the cops fined 17 of the protesters for going in the water that day (illegal, apparently) – but couldn’t find any later updates.
I wonder why that article put “FEMALE” in all caps – maybe they thought that would make the shooting sound more tragic?

For some reason this made me think of this scene in “The Enforcer”:

Obviously the wrong round for busy-bodies.

Or don’t be a moron and go what basically equates to “downrange”. That’s like the bicyclist being a complete idiot riding recklessly and just expecting every driver to avoid him “just because they should” it refuses to take into account human error which is potentially present regardless of the tool. Idiot put herself in needless danger and now that hunter has to deal with it forever.
