You are focused on a bird that is flying across the sun and trying to make the shot. You pull the trigger with your intentions of shooting a quail and not another person. You think you should be cuffed and stuffed for that huh? Amazing. Accidents happen. No one needs to be jailed for a minor hunting accident where a guy got hit by some birdshot. This whole thing is being over dramatized. Its a ridiculous display.

Haha nice imaginary situation.. First off , i would never be stupid enough to shoot my friend so the "hypothetical" situation would never happen. 100% impossible.. ( but then again i have taken gun safety )
Secondly i never said anything about cuffing and arresting someone over a reported accident.. I was referring to the fact that the shooter never spoke to police until the next day even though there was AMPLE opportunity to do so. So to answer your question , yes if i shot my friend because i'm an idiot who doesnt understand how to use a gun , then i turned away police when they came to interview me .. umm yes i would expect to be cuffed and arrested .
Your right about one thing.. the whole thing was/is overblown.. It WAS a mistake theres no question about that so the only problem here is abuse of power.. If we cant get our own leaders to report simple accidents how are we supposed to trust them to tell us the truth.
You can try hypothetical situation after hypothetical situation , but the plain and simple fact is nobody in america would have been able to shoot someone then make an appointment to talk to police , just doesnt happen..
Not sure if your a hunter or not , but getting hit in the neck face and arms with 50+ pellets isnt " getting hit with some pellets " its called " getting shot with a shotgun "
