Hitchhiking Shooting ‘Victim’ Admits He Shot Himself

You may recall that last week, the Blaze reported on a hitchhiker who was shot while writing his memoirs under the heavily ironic title, “Kindness in America.” At the time, the Blaze’s Madeleine Morgenstern wrote:
The Billings Gazette reported 39-year-old Raymond Dolin of West Virginia was sitting on the side of a highway waiting for a ride when a man drove up in a maroon pickup, shot him and drove away.
Roy Dolin
Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier told the newspaper Dolin is working on a book titled “The Kindness of America.”[...]
Authorities began a manhunt for the driver of the pickup, ultimately arresting 52-year-old Charles Lloyd Danielson III in connection with the shooting.
Charles Lloyd Danielson
Well, in a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan, it turns out the whole thing was a lie. Gawker reported today that Dolin has come out with the admission that he actually shot himself and then made up the story about the drive-by shooting:
The 39-year-old West Virginian man who was reportedly injured in a random drive-by while hitchhiking in Montana confessed to police that he actually shot himself.
The case is still being investigated by the Valley County Sheriff’s Office, and charges could still be brought against Ray Dolin.
No motive for the lie has been given, One wonders what variety of “kindness” is involved in making up stories that get complete strangers arrested. Guess we’ll just have to wait for the memoir to come out to find out.

Report Post »There is kindness plenty of kindness in America. Americans are the most generous people in the world. This idiot couldn’t find enough rudeness so in order to sell his book, he shot himself and then in an act of complete rudeness let an innocent man be arrested. Needless to say that if this book does get published I won’t be reading it.

Posted on June 16, 2012 at 8:14amOR, What If: This A-Hole just figured his “book” (if he was actually going to write one) wouldn’t sell that good without some free advertising?
I feel the driver of the pickup ought to sue for everything he can get from this idiot, which probably won’t be much, for slander, defamation of character and whatever else he can figure out. There’s got to be some pain and suffering in there somewhere too. The guy might even get a new Ford pickup out of the deal. Yes I said Ford. Why would anyone buy any other brand?

Posted on June 16, 2012 at 1:10amOnly way he had a gun hitch hiking to use shooting himself was one he carried concealed. In Montana not a problem you can conceal a handgun without a permit as long as you are not in any city limits. Would have to be in the open in a city such as Billings. As a former Mt resident for 7 years this I know. Yet I wonder how many states he carried it through concealed while hitch hiking where it was against the law. More importantly I wonder how many picked him up not knowing they were in grave danger since clearly the guy is whacked in the head and armed.

Posted on June 16, 2012 at 12:55amQuestion…. Since false info got Danielson arrested, if Danielson resisted AFTER being accused of the shooting would those charges be dropped? Because when it got to the point of being arrested and they said what the charges were, I would’ve freaked even more since I would assume it was some vendetta type attack and that once you are in cuffs of people like that you never know what may happen next to you and maybe it is better to remain free by any means necessary!!

Hi, my name is Jacka$$ Q. Sicboy, and I go around the Internet looking for any story about someone doing something stupid and labeling them as a liberal. It doesn’t matter that I have nothing to back up such a claim, because as we all know, facts are a Communist creation of the Left.

Posted on June 15, 2012 at 11:45pmBeing involved in numerous shooting investigations, it has been my experience that usually the ones that are done by the “victim”, they turn out to be accidental, or done to gain attention by someone mentally impaired.
