-- 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 --

-- 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. --

MODERATORS
Given how good the guy was at shooting an unarmed civilian I was kinda thinking it was a dirty cop which would indicate the hit theory.
However, with all this I am leaning more towards ex-military disgruntled type. I dunno. Cause you can get good at using a gun but getting good st shooting people feels like a diffrent skill to me.
I really think anyone who was big into firearms or a professional hitman probably would have tested their setup first and made sure the gun cycled with the ammo and suppressor
This seems like someone who read up on shit online and bought it but did not practice with it
One could also test their setup and understand that the gun needs to be cycled manually and be prepared to do that. Not a big deal if your target is unarmed.
The way he actioned the gun after the first shot seems very practiced, it's only between 2 and 3 he seems to have trouble. Even then he clears it quickly enough for the third shot.
I think he already knew the gun with silencer and subsonics wouldn't action automatically.
Probably is hard to find a range in NY to practice shooting a silenced gun. I still think the shooting a person and not freaking out after is hard work
there are plenty of wooded areas all over the state, wouldn't be too hard to find a secluded area to go shoot for a while
yeah I mean not saying it's easy
and if they stayed in a hostel they probably weren't from nyc?
50/50 if they weren't from NYC that really increases the ammount of work he had to do to prep. So the NSA could probably pinpoint them from search history Metadata. If they are a NYC resident staying at a hostel to create a fake trail is a good plan also
I'm so so on the fake trail thing, considering it leaked photos of their face for no reason, but depends how sophisticated they were, could be done in a way that really throws the feds off their scent or it could be just sloppiness
hopefully they're running to cuba or something as we speak but thats definitely cope lol
I am assuming the backpack had a change of clothes. If it were me I would have had two mismatched shoe lifts to throw off gait analysis, colored contacts, some cheap jewelry. Like a pendant for a religion that isn't mine and a high-school ring for a place I didn't go to.
