Ok so you've clearly got 0 experience with firearms if you think someone who needs a wheelchair on a bad day, and crutches or a cane on a good day...
... is of comparable fitness and capability to wield a firearm, you know, with the intent to surivive the encounter, as an able bodied person.
Uh lets see here, specifics;
Ok I also don't believe in a codified death penalty.
But I believe its the only solution for the people who the system will never touch, because they are its prime operators.
A well done firing squad execution is probably actually more humane than death by lethal injection or gas chamber, guess you don't know much about how that actually works either.
Your blathering about me being of disingenuous motivation is completely pointless... I am crippled. No amount of me selling things would make me capable of the task.
It is infact possible to survive and even escape an assasination. Luigi survived his. Others in the past have escaped totally.
You seem to just think it is impossible to do this. Extremely difficult? Yes. Impossible? No.
I own several guns and there's guys in wheelchairs at the range that shoot better than I do. Convenient excuse, though.
I know they aim for center mass and not the face. I apparently know more about it than you do.
Then why bring up your finances in the first place?
And he's probably going to spend the rest of his life in prison. Sounds awesome, who doesn't want that for themselves?
If you call being hunted forever "escaping"
I don't think it's impossible. I think you asked why somebody doesn't do it and I gave you a myriad of reasons why they don't.
