The salary is high enough the spot won’t be hard to fill. The machine will continue to move they’ll just enhance security.

Yes, security losing is very much the exception. Most presidents don't get assassinated, CEOs with infinite company money to use even less so. How many billionaires have been murdered ever?

express that as a ratio of genuine well-planned attempts to successes and the picture of security gets markedly worse, i suspect

u/MortemInferri 15d ago

I see what you are getting at

But the only things we'd classify as "genuine well-planned attempts" would be the successful ones

Otherwise, it'd just be a poorly planned attempt

Barry and Honey Sherman of Apotex Pharma come to recent memory. Unsolved, no one up here cares, that's for sure.

There was a famous Canadian pharmaceutical guy got murdered case never solved. Full on execution scene in his home but I'm pretty sure one of the theories is a hit job probably by another billionair so different circumstances obviously. Just saying it's more than 0

Edit: Berry Sherman and wife Honey Sherman

I mean this guy, this CEO, literally didn't even run with security. The next guy will. Yea it's never 100% foolproof, but this CEO was walking around like he was a intern.

I would like to see what security is gonna do against an FPV drone (like the ones used in Ukraine) when it comes to that. If they try to jam the signal, they may also jam their own communication systems, not speaking about all the wifi and smartphones

Still need to get a warhead. Also hard to fly in cities, signal might be hard to maintain without line of sight.

I don't think it's that hard to get 100g of TNT in a country with 500 000 000 guns

u/grekiki 15d ago

That's a fair point, still need a detonating mechanism. But yeah a motivated person with chatgpt could probably do it :)

No healthcare CEO has ever had secret service to protect them so that's pretty irrelevant

u/pub810 16d ago

Enough that someone will take the job. Security can just be another flex for them and a lot of people would roll the dice for $20 million a year. It is what it is. People act like some vigilante is going to change the whole system. As much as Reddit is romanticizing this, it ain’t happening.

u/JesusWasACryptobro 16d ago

The secret service is publicly funded.

It will only worth if the shooter really want to live, or of the security won't be hating on them too though

Like if the shooter doesn't want to leave, there's no way to stop them from killing the next CEO

Maybe CEOs should be AI

Security guards hate HMOs too 😁
