A federal agent who shot a Chicago woman multiple times after he said she struck his vehicle with her own bragged about his shooting skills in text messages with other agents, according to records presented Wednesday at a hearing in the case against the woman.

Records presented at the hearing showed that in a group Signal chat with other agents, which Exum described as a support group, he wrote in part: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.”

In a message to another recipient, Exum sent a news article about the event followed by the message: "Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes."

What do you suggest they do?

Eta: Always be super careful when people sitting on the shitter tell you that you should go out into the world and commit real life violence. Nobody who does these behaviors is out here on the internet flagging it for the world to see. They could be lazy internet-dwellers, they could be edgy teens, they could be feds, but don't let them influence you. And if you're going to do what they suggest, for God's sake don't talk about it.

seriously, the only way that shit is effective is if your a lone wolf (or working in a very tight team). lone wolfs especially are basically unstoppable, unless they're stupid enough to tell people their plan online

The implication seems pretty clear to me. Nobody likes that solution, but it's becoming increasingly inevitable the longer this goes on.

Meanwhile, weapons and spyware continue to coalesce into the wrong hands.

Well said. So tired of these boisterous bullshitters always running their mouths off conveniently from somewhere else. If they're so concerned and would do the right thing, they can simply buy a plane ticket.

they could be feds, ~~but don't let them influence you.~~ And if you're going to do what they suggest, for God's sake don't talk about it.

I am not suggesting anything; your 2nd amendment, however, does. Against something called "tyranny". If you do not believe that that definition is already fulfilled by your pedophile in charge, I'll, rightfully so, take a step back. Until then.
