Absolutely correct.
I think, though, that the concerns expressed by several members, and I have to question myself, is not so much that it happened (Hey, shit happens), but rather the secrecy involved afterword.
Did the VeeP suck down one too many Wild Turkey's before taking to the field? Was he under the influence? Well...maybe. We'll never know, now. But, if he
wasn't, I would think that he'd want that fact to be made very clear, from the onset. Why was the sheriff's deputies turned away? That's not really an option available to "two locals". Now, perhaps he doesn't necessarily need to spend the night as a "guest" of the county, like Cletus or Jethro, but to postpone
any investigation? No...it smells like last weeks tuna cassarole, to me.
Yes. Accidents
do happen, and it sucks when they do. There does, however, need to be accountability, if not a reckoning. I think that's pretty basic.
