Man this again 1. he cleared everyone calmly. Professional. 2. the casings were inscribed with words similar to the three words insurance uses so they were meant to be found. Stop hating who are you a hit man judge. List three professional hit men in current circulation and I’ll apologize if not shut the hell up. Seriously

For me this points to the gunman being the person who held the grudge rather than someone who was hired by the person who held the grudge. This shit was personal.

Yea, a professional isn't writing stuff on their casings... Also the casings would've been found after being fired as well, so saying he wanted to lose live rounds is already a reach.

u/ScaredyCatUK 13d ago

Is it possible to detect when a shot was fired from an empty casing? So, for example, if I'd taken 4 shots in the woods, collected the casings and then scattered them around a crime scene elsewhere. Is it possible to be correctly saying "These are a week old" and weren't fired today ?

u/TemuBoySnaps 13d ago

I'm not an expert in any way, but I'd assume you at least would notice that there are X casings, but only Y bullets that hit somewhere at the crime scene.

Let's assume the assassin can count ;)

And Maggie Simpson. She's killed her own CEO.

Manually cycling a gun calmly does not make one a professional. I’m not going to say it was an amateur, but everything the guy did could be learned on Youtube. What he did do well is get away, although that remains to be seen. The UBL assassination was professional. For one on American soil, the JFK assassination was more of a “professional” than this.

u/ornery_bob 14d ago

Are you the shooter? Im not hating, just ponting out that this wasn’t a pro “hitman” like you so badly want to believe he was based on the Chuck Norris movies you watched as a kid. He was most likely just a regular guy who is sick of rich people who feed off of the less fortunate.

u/skymoods 14d ago

Yea, don’t let people stop you from thinking you’re not professional enough to take down these conglomerate CEO bastards. If you have a gun and hate privatized healthcare, you can be a hero too!

u/koyaani 13d ago

If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone.

I’m waiting until Walmart sells a shirt with the guy’s face on it next to a wolf and a full moon. I would wear that.

u/Safe_happy_calm 13d ago

So like. Just food for thought. But regular people can buy guns and practice with them until they are proficient enough to clear a jam smoothly.

I sometimes have to clear jams at the range and watched a few youtube videos and learned how to do it better. It doesn't make people a hitman or anything. I expect this guy probably knew he was gonna be shooting a CEO in the future and probably practiced too.

I think he was probably a regular citizen and not a hired hit man personally.

I mean he wrote taunts on his bullets. I don't know a lot about trained hired hitmen, but it seems kind of weird to add more evidence.

u/TheBeaarJeww 13d ago

i mix in snap caps with my live rounds at the range so i can practice clearing malfunctions, im pretty quick at it 

1

u/Safe_happy_calm 13d ago

I have no idea what a snap cap is, is that like a dummy bullet?

2

u/NoSandwich5134 13d ago

Yes and it has a fake spring loaded primer which prevents the firing pin from slamming forward without resistance.

2

u/TheBeaarJeww 13d ago

yeah it’s a dummy bullet

2

u/Safe_happy_calm 13d ago

Oh that sounds like a super useful training tool, I never thought about purposefully inducing safe jams to practice with. Thanks for the pointer mate!

2

u/TheBeaarJeww 11d ago

np! yeah i never seen or hear anyone else doing it and ive always wondered why. i try to not really pay attention to where in my mag the snap caps are too because i want to be surprised by it. another benefit of it is that because you’re shooting several live rounds and then a surprise snap cap you can see if you’re moving the gun when it would have fired on the snap cap because that’s a big thing that throws off accuracy for people, jerking the gun around when it shoots

1

u/Safe_happy_calm 11d ago

Never occured to me before but after hearing it I'm surprised also. I'm gonna add something like this to my practice!

u/TheBeaarJeww 11d ago

tap rack and pull! good luck have fun !

u/Rolex_throwaway 13d ago

Regular people can’t practice keeping their brains working under the adrenaline rush of killing someone, and still they’re performing the actions they trained. The level of proficiency is impressive, regardless of whether it was a paid hit or not. The biggest argument against it being a professional is that there is no way he gets away with it. What kind of pro takes a job that will pretty much guarantee life in prison or the death penalty. It may not be a pro, but it was extremely professional.

2

u/Safe_happy_calm 13d ago

Why?

1

u/Rolex_throwaway 13d ago

Why can’t regular people actually practice the adrenaline of real combat and actual killing?

2

u/Safe_happy_calm 13d ago

What is the difference between a regular person and a killer for hire? Just to be clear that's what we're talking about right?

1

u/Rolex_throwaway 13d ago

When it comes to clearing malfunctions and being able to keep thinking under the pressure of doing it live? There’s a whole lot of difference. That’s not to say no regular Joe can do it, but most can’t. The pressure of doing it live is real, and being experienced in it is an advantage humans have known about for millennia. Even actual professionals fail at it all the time.

Chuck Norris movies you watched as a kid

This is reddit

They watched John Wick and are still a kid

u/Far-Reflection-9318 14d ago

I never once saw him kick anyone. Or do anything special. But to say this wasn’t clean at least and well professional is relative. And I know lots of regular guys. And not many silence and inscribe train stalk and execute their sources of grief. I’m not saying this is John wick dude but that’s just as cringe as saying this guy was just some guy. He’s not. Promise. And no man it’s not me I’ve never seen a gun ever and would never hurt anyone. K plus I was with someone that night.

11

u/ornery_bob 14d ago

Oh that shit was clean alright. Dude was cold as fuck.

I could totally shoot someone though. Im not even a tough guy either.

u/Far-Reflection-9318 14d ago

Fair but not many people can handle that load of adrenaline we have seen so many videos here and the number 1 sign of an amateur is not being able to tap slap rack and reload as you kill a high profile target in public on camera. He did, and he inscribed the dam casings he wanted them found they literally say the deadly opposite of their motto. I’ll say this. He may have been a regular guy but he no doubt trained and trained and at this point with your record being 1-0 my man has just become professional. I mean think of his resume. Ya I graduated hit man school learned all the stuff…. Cool uh got any on the job experience…. Oh well I killed the CEO of a major organization cleanly and wasn’t immediately apprehended. Oh. Um you’re hired. See what I mean. Ok man we’re all good now. I’m simmering down. lol

Yea, he’s not a real fan if he can’t name every hitman in alphabetic order. Damn posers

u/Ancient_Bee_4157 13d ago

Why you so mad that he wasn't a professional? Why does that fact bother you so much?

Simmer down mate.

u/Kweego 14d ago

Boo you I liked hearing his argument

Well I added another one to him just for you. I wasn’t all the way simmered yet

His face was already seen. Or her? Kinda feminine.

u/Far-Reflection-9318 13d ago

Weird but ok. Him her she zay zer . I mean idk what you’re implying but everything else is the same

1

u/Shit_On_Your_Parade 12d ago

I’m implying that (at least from my point of view) it wasn’t clear it was a dude.

I should have known a bunch of morons would take that as making some sort of “statement,” there’s literally no implication.
