Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

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 --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- 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. --

I'm imagining that scene in spiderman 2 where he becomes unmasked on the train but everyone agrees to pretend they didn't see him

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

The person who did this has been chilling at my place for the last 12 hours binging Arcane with me. Couldn't have been them.

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

For sure. Someone in another thread said the same except the Jack Reacher version.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

"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"

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

Billionaire found dead after he walked into bullet.

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

[–] knightly@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.
