    “targeted attack”? Why don’t the media use their less assumptuous wording like they do with Palestine? AFAIK “possibly a stray bullet found its way into a subject”

    So one way or another I’m happy CEO dude is dead and I want to stress that I am completely unqualified to make any sort of criminal assessment or profile of this situation. That said, if I’m right I want to say I called it so:

    Looking at the footage I’ve seen I can’t shake the growing feeling that as much as I’d love this to be someone doing an adventurism it actually kinda reads like a professional hit job. Most footage I’ve seen of political assassinations done for personal reasons (political or otherwise) don’t seem like they’re so cleanly executed (he fucking double taped) and they don’t seem to get away so cleanly if they even try to run in the first place.

    I could be totally off base but all I’m saying is: if this guy was an Amateur doing Adventurism…hot damn he made it look good. Mad props.

      I am completely unqualified to make any sort of criminal assessment or profile of this situation.

      No one on Hexbear, including myself, has ever considered that an obstacle.

      kinda reads like a professional hit job

      I guess medical bills in USA got so high it’s cheaper to hire a hitman instead

      It doesn’t read like a professional hit to me, more like a vendetta by someone with a background in the military, intelligence, or organized crime.

      A professional hitman wouldn’t use subsonic 9mm on an unmodified glock. They’d pick a .45 and mod the gun to cycle properly on -P ammo.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
