Stray bullet hits Lou Dobbs' home, he claims victimhood, and Bill O'Reilly buys it
Lou Dobbs claimed on his radio show this week that the evil people who have targeted him for removal from his CNN anchor's seat are now taking shots at him and his wife in their home:
"But I want to tell you, when you talk about what they've done - they've created an atmosphere and they've been unrelenting in their propaganda," Dobbs said. "Three weeks ago this morning, a shot was fired at my house where I live. My wife was standing out and that followed weeks and weeks of threatening phone calls."
Dobbs detailed the event, the notification of law enforcement and threatening phone calls he had received after the fact.
"And, as I told the state patrol, and by the way, the New Jersey State Patrol is absolutely terrific - they responded instantly. But this shot was fired with my wife not, I don't know, 15 feet away and we had threatening phone calls that I decided not to report because I get threatening phone calls," Dobbs continued. "I now - it's become a way of life - the anger, the hate, the vitriol, but it's taken a different tone where they've threatened my wife. They've now fired a shot at my house while my wife was standing next to the car. It's become something else."
The CNN host later took a shot at the "national liberal media," which he claims has taken a side on the immigration issue and has created this sort of reckless environment.
Naturally, not only did Newsbusters sucker for this story, but so did Bill O'Reilly on his Fox News show last night, tut-tutting the incident as "a very serious matter."
The only problem: It was almost certainly a stray shot from a hunter's rifle, as Andrea Nill at ThinkProgress reported yesterday, well before O'Reilly's broadcast:
While Dobbs and his anti-immigrant supporters were quick to jump to conclusions about the motive of the shooting, Sgt. Stephen Jones confirmed to ThinkProgress this morning that the New Jersey State Police are stilling “looking at all the possibilities” and that a hunting-related accident has not been ruled out.
Sgt. Jones, a spokesperson for the New Jersey State Police, confirmed that a bullet was found which struck the siding of Dobbs’ house. However, he pointed out that Dobbs’ residence is located in a “very rural” area. “With hunting season starting up,” such incidents are “not at all uncommon,” Jones told us.
"State Police Sgt. Steve Jones said Thursday that his department received a call from Dobbs' wife, who heard a shot and said a bullet hit her house. Jones said she had been outside her house with "an employee who worked with Dobbs" at 10:25 a.m. October 5.
Jones said a bullet struck the section of the house where the attic is but didn't penetrate the dwelling. He said the bullet fell to the ground and was recovered. Dobbs' wife saw damage to the siding, Jones said.
"The bullet was taken by our detectives and turned over to our ballistics unit for further analysis," Jones said. "At this point, all I can say is that it appears to be a long gun, not a handgun or shotgun."
..... Police aren't saying for now that the shot was fired at the house but only, as Jones said, that it struck the house. A stray shot from a long gun would not be a "totally uncommon occurrence because of the hunters and target shooters" in the region, Jones said.
Jones couldn't give his opinion on what kind of shooting this might be, and he said the incident is being investigated "further past a stray hunter's bullet" because of Dobbs' "public persona." Police have conducted interviews and patrolled the area, Jones said."
A shot fired deliberately to terrorize the Dobbses would have been fired from a distance close enough to penetrate the house siding. The fact that it fell off the siding tells you this shot was fired from very, very far away.
We take violence seriously, and any actual incident of anyone taking a shot at Dobbs, his wife, or even his home would be a terrible thing.
But crying wolf -- and especially trying to blame his critics for such an incident -- that's a whole 'nother ball game. One that invites nothing but contempt.
It's nice to know that a hunter, presumably pro-gun, an NRA member and of course, safe because you know... NRA hunters are safe, are launching bullets into people's homes.
Knowing Lou he probably did it himself just for the attention.

Too bad the bullet doesn't have the shooter's name on it. It really should. We have the technology. That would help keep they stray bullets in Lou's house to a minimum. Seriously.

I'm sure the bullet was signed by the President himself, this is the onlymeans he could think of to get Dobbs worried about his safety so he will move over to Faux where Billo and his ilk can put him under 24 hr. guard...
All other things aside for a moment, I sure as hell would hate to live where I might have to dodge hunter's bullets while in or outside my home. That sounds like hell to me.
Now, as to Lou's story. One, why did he wait three weeks to talk about it and why is he milking it so? Are his ratings anemic these days and they needed a little pick me up.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I recall a case in upstate new york, some twit using an assault rifle like an AK-47 to hunt deer with, so being far more powerful than a "deer rifle", it did penetrate a house and injure someone inside. Stoopid is as stoopid duz....
an AK-47 and other assault rifle cartridges are LESS powerful then most modern hunting rifles. The AK-47 round shoots a 125 gr. bullet at about 2300fps; the American 5.56mm military cartridge shoots a 75gr bullet at about 2800fps. A 243 Winchester, which is about the smallest of modern deer rifles, shoots a 100gr bullet at over 3000fps.
7.62x39 (basically a .30 calibur) is ballistically equivalent to a .30-30 Winchester round. If it is a hunting round, would be a softpoint bullet and, unless it flew through a window, unlikely 'penetrated a house'. The .30-30 and the 7.62x39 are not very flat shooting and not good past 150 yrds or so.
Not exactly -- the 7.62x39mm Russian is a *MUCH* less powerful round than the 7.62x51mm NATO, which is essentially the old .30 Winchester with a military designation.
My point was 7.62mm is roughly .30 caliber. I never said anything about NATO rounds in my post.
7.62x39 Russian MOST CERTAINLTY IS ballistically equivalent to .30-30 Winchester.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62x39mm : "Since approximately 1990, the 7.62x39mm cartridge has seen some use in hunting arms in the US for hunting game up to the size of whitetail deer, as it is approximately as powerful as the .30-30 Winchester round, and has a similar ballistic profile.[6]"
And btw, .30-30 Winchester is NOT equivalent to .308 Win (7.62x51 NATO). Both have similar diameter bullet and case length, but have different bullet lengths/weights, different case configurations, much different pressures generated, and are not interchangable. Trying to fire 7.62x51 in a rifle designed for .30-30 Winchester will end up severely injuring, if not killing the moron attempting to shoot it. .30-30 Win is NOT .308 Win!
Are you reading ALL of what the other commenters are saying???
The 30-30 is NOT a modern hunting cartridge being over 110 years old. I considered comparing the 7.62x39 to the 30-30 but since it's not as popular today as it was 40 years ago I didn't. The 7.62x39 actually isn't a bad deer cartridge as long as you're shooting under 100 yards as you point out. And as a matter of fact is the cartridge I used to shoot a deer quite some years ago when I had the time to hunt. I'm more into the 41 Swiss and similar cartridges these day for hunting though. Still limited to short range but the heavy slow lead has great knock-down power. But I'm a distinct minority in that.
For Dobbs to immediately jump to this conclusion is the height of irresponsibility and further proof that he is a right wing ideologue that seizes on any opportunity to blame the "Liberal Media" of which (apparently)his own network is a conspicuous member.

Evidence DOES make a difference you know.
ie) Sparkman wasn't killed accidentally and a bullet that doesn't even penetrate the siding is absolutely a stray bullet from a very great distance.
...to Dobbs house where no one was harmed. You're simply a professional shit stirrer Dennis...and you suck at it.
You call the Sparkman case a hate crime and the Dobbs case and apparent random shot, yet you have no evidence from either case to support either assertion.
The only thing you do have is that you hate Glenn Beck and Michelle Bachmann, so therefore the Sparkman case is a hate crime, and you hate Dobbs, so therefore the bullet that came close to his wife must therefore be stray.
From a looong ways away...

the State Police announcements in those cases doesn't mean anything to good old troll dennis.
So how tall is Dobbs wife that a bullet that hits the top of the house close to her anyway?
Dennis IF you were able to read English you'd be aware that the NJ state police made clear that the Dobbs bullet was almost certainly a stray giving it's location and velocity at impact. And you'd be aware that Federal law enforcements description of the Sparkman murder fit the profile of hate crimes. PLEASE take a basic English comprehension course!!

Oh, I get it. The "atmosphere" created by Lewd Obbs' critics, created by their "propaganda," is responsible for this.
When the violence is directed towards the wingnuts (although I buy the stray bullet theory), the concept of words being the cause is suddenly very easy to swallow. Right, Mr. "Tiller the baby killer" O'Liely.
All I can say is LOL. Otherwise I may violate the rules.
To avoid penetrating wood, without even getting stuck, it is pretty much required to have been either a small calibre, say a .22 from a couple hundred yards or more, or a lot more, possibly up to two miles for an actual hunting rifle.
Sounds far more like an irresponsible hunter than an actual aim for his house.
And yes, I do hunt, and yes, I own rifles, and sometimes train people to use them.
Dobbs is a p*ssy b*tch who couldn't figure out the business end of any firearm, despite all his bluster.
"Parachutes are allowed in checked or carry-on baggage, but may not be worn in flight."

What catches me is the wife hearing a shot. If there's hunting in the area, they probably hear shots often...why does this one register? As you say Norse, we're talking two miles and that's not much of a report.
This just isn't adding up. If they figure out 30.06 or 30-30 or whatever, they can roughly figure the position of the shooter (in miles) and the story can be resolved. Unless the dumbass doesn't want it resolved.

It's interesting that when they imagine violence towards right wingnuts they have no problem drawing a connection between rhetoric and action while when the target is not a winger, they pooh-pooh any possible connections. The inconsistency is even worse when you consider the intensity of the what is being said by the right vs. the left (e.g., Faux footage of the Nuremberg rally, talk of federal concentration camps, etc.). Faux News and the top right-wing propogandists claim to be making rational arguments but are not.
The cops are chuckling at Dobbs now saying gun complaints rise during hunting season and where Dobbs lives it's an open area where people do hunt. The bullet also hit towards the apex of the houses roof to far to be aimed at a person. Dobbs sent an email saying it wasn't hunting season but the fish and wildlife commission says that at the time of the complaint it was/is hunting season. Dobbs also never filed any complaints about threatening emails.
Basically, Dobbs is lying to become a victim of the mean old hispanics.

And when you have a tribe that worships a man whose 11th Commandment was essentially "Put tribe before country", there's no telling how far these nitwits will go in starting a Second Civil War.
The only upside in there being a 2nd Civil War would be that, in a time of war, it's legal to shoot hillbillies and rednecks daid!

and since the angle of incidence is nearly equal to the angle of reflection,.... that would mean the shot came in at a high angle, regardless of whether it was a lateral or vertical ricochet, which means no one was shooting at Mrs. Dobbs.

So, the story goes that a rifle bullet large enough to find in the Dobbs' yard struck their house (attic) and fell to the ground. This is the sign of a far distant hunter who missed the deer he was aiming at, not as a real threat to the life and limb of a victim-hood obsessed xenophobic publicity hound Reich-winger.
Any NJ hunter that is hunting with a rifle (illegal) is also not hunting with a game license, hence a poacher. Considering the trying times in which we currently find ourselves, I predict that many more such instances of people trying to put food on their tables will only get worse.
OTOH, any self-respecting nut-job assassin that was really going after the Dobbs's would either use a large enough caliber rifle from a reasonable distance to get the job done in one shot, or up close and personal with a handgun, like a Mob hit.
Move back folks, away from the yellow crime tape - nothing to see here. Political theater.

hunter shoots up, towards deer, misses.
bullet continues trajectory towards roof of nutjobs house.
A properly trained hunter is always aware of his surroundings, as well as down-range hazards. Rolling hills might put a hunter at a lower elevation than his prey. The silhouette of a whitetail buck nearer the top of a ridge-line might be an enticing shot, except if he misses. While a hunting rifle might have an effective range of 250 to 300 yards, a missed shot might well carry the bullet for 1-1/2 miles or more.
The rifle bullet that allegedly struck the Dobbs' residence did not penetrate the side of the house, but bounced off and fell into their yard. This readily reinforces the claim that it was a stray shot fired from a considerable distance. Since there was no kinetic energy left in the bullet, it was near the extreme range of its trajectory when it struck the dwelling. Simple physics.

Why Does Lou Dobbs hate red blooded American hunters?
Almost four score comments and nobody has conjectured a militia man and a minuteman in a Meadowlands mixup?
"I didn't know he was loaded, Trooper."
"Well son, you will have to toe tag that teabagger. Maybe Ms. Palin's sister has an extry permit."

Some dreams do come true. Levi Johnson will be having his Johnson photographed sans his Levis the same day that Sarah will be on Oprah's show.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Poetic justice?
poetry.

They sound like poetry after you have smoked the evil weed. I haven't done that in a long time, but back when we did we would read them and almost laugh ourselves to death. I still have two big books of limericks.

I'll state the obvious. ANY caliber of rifle fired intentionally toward a given target, meaning that the target was within eyesight and target-able, would have penetrated the siding of that house. The fact that the projectile bounced off the house and onto the ground is slam-dunk evidence of an unintentional hit.
Dobbs is idiot and a hypocrite for using this situation to decry the dangerous 'atmosphere' that suddenly has him so concerned, considering the tone of his rhetoric.
...I can't help but recall how the great world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali paraphrased the bible: "The truth is beautiful! The truth is sweet! As a man sows, so shall he reap!"
Burma Shave, Lou....
the cartel may be after Lou.
If La Familia or any other gang was after Lou Dobbs, we would have already seen his obituary in the paper.
If he continues to engage in this political theater, though, he might just get what's coming to him, but from a far less likely source - like Lou's Hispanic wife. What's worth more, a fading media whore's income, or his life insurance policy?

I think that Dobbs' wife finally had enough of his racist rants, positioned herself outside and took a shot at him.

Not that that is news to anyone. My parents live in rural PA and have had stray bullets hit their home on multiple occasions. My folks called the police the first time it happened but apparently you only have to be something like 100 yards away from a home to hunt. My mother has taken to scaring the deer away just to keep the hunters from shooting up the place.
Sorry Lou,
You haven't made the short list yet. This wasn't anything to worry about.
Anyway, no point in wasting a bullet when you (and most of your audience) already have one foot in the grave.
If unable to dance I will crawl cross it...
Most liberals, progressives and Democrats abhor the use of guns and probably don't even own one.

It's always bitch, whine, and squeal with this Dobbs guy. What a sad sack, wet blanket, stuffed suit, blow hard, bigot, birther.

Now, that's CNN snooze...The kid,( not in the balloon), fired at Lou Dobbs house and Dobbs waited a little bit to get to the news station to declare his victimhood. Boy them "hoax's" just keep mounting, don't they. You can figure Dobbs for this. He just looks sneaky....Remember: There was no kid in the balloon. And, there were no shots fired at Dobbs.
It was obvious to a moron that the balloon was too small to carry away a boy, but this fact wasn't ever picked up in "the situation room". I couldn't believe the stupidity... national television hosts...

It bounced -- bounced? -- off the house? That'd mean it either came from a hell of a long way off, or Lou's house is sheathed in bulletproof plastic or something like it. Either one makes sense to me. Paranoia strikes deep.
Drive by's in very rural areas are so common.
dobbs is a liar and an asshat.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
Invite Dick Cheney over. no problem.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
So they've created an atmosphere eh O'Reilly? Kind of like the one that you created that lead to the murder of Dr. Tiller? Oh, but I forgot, you're demonization of the man had nothing to do with his murder. I'm sure that's totally different from this case.
These morons are so unhinged and desperate to make up anything, that if somebody did an unsignalled lane change a hundred yards ahead on a 30mph city street, they'd claim it was a "librul trying to run me off the road!"
I actually thought when I first heard this that it was along the lines of an actual drive-by and that someone had done something desperate and stupid. Instead, the accidental nature of the shooting furthers my theory that those who shoot at progressives are politically motivated and those who shoot at the reichwing aren't.
