The guy used a silencer and when his gun jammed he cleared the jam and got off a couple more shots.
that’s something you could do with about five minutes of training. if he was a “professional”, he probably would’ve used a nielson device, or, if he just had some shitty turkish oil filter, a non-tilting barrel design, like a hi-point, so the suppressor doesn’t induce malfunctions. he also probably would’ve waited a little bit further down the guy’s path. he pulled off his hit in broad view of a camera which was directly behind him, and he stopped for starbucks and a couple protein bars down the street, and left his garbage on site. none of these things matter too much since the police are pretty bad at their job, but if the feds get involved, things might take a different turn, and little mistakes like those add up. if his gun had jammed more severely, he might not have been successful at all. no, this speaks to me as a kind of amateur endeavor.
now, it’s still somewhat unlikely, but it is, I suppose, possible, that he was still hired. actual hitmen would probably tend to be so professional that you will basically never see them, like the guy that probably killed the boeing whistleblower, or part of some obviously state sanctioned special forces unit. They can also be unprofessional schmucks that are willing to just eat the sentence for an organized crime syndicate, and in less high profile cases, they can just be random people down on their luck who are willing to kill for a couple thousand dollars and know someone who’s willing to pay that fee, which never really works out too well.
I think that many American gravy seals grossly overestimate what a regular person can do with “five minutes of training” during an actual shooting situating. Look at Uvalde. Did those hundreds of cops who choked and let those children be murdered have “five minutes of training”? Murder fantasies are one thing but actually being in the street with a gun in your hand shooting someone and trying to get away without some other asshole with murder fantasies pulling out a gun and blasting away with no consideration for any innocent unintentional backstop is a whole different ball of wax. Look at those traitorous asshole in the speakers lobby. They planned to murder Mike Pence and other Members if Congress right up until a bullet ripped through Ashli Babbitt’s chest and they realized, “Holy shit, they’re shooting white people out here.” My shooting buddy who did three tours of duty as an infantryman in Norther Ireland during the troubles, two as a combat medic in Bosnia, and many years as a street cop says of weekend warriors in ill-fitting, mismatched, surplus store body armor with consumer grade military lookalike guns and collective murder fantasies, “It all changes when you’re on a two way range.”
Your analysis was funny, though. Thanks for the morning laugh.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little removed? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Cool story, bro.
In case you’re unaware, it’s the Navy Seals copypasta.
I was unaware but didn’t care. I assumed that OC was joking.
