I watched it and now I’m chilling
Rode off on a citibike too
There was a biking bank robber that was quite successful for a while, apparently riding a bike makes you pretty much invisible in a city.
saw some fucking nerd claiming he tracked the citibike, hope he’s next
Based on how well executed this seems to be, I doubt the shooter used any traceable payments or anything, but time will tell.
Not only that but the shooting was at what like 6:45 am est? Dudes obviously not on the bike anymore and if they were confident enough with the metadata associated with the citibike they would have released his full name by now.
well executed
shit you got more on that? I always wondered whether a bicycle would make a good getaway vehicle on accounts of cops are too carbrained to understand how it can move or how to even tell them apart.
An e bike that can hit 15-20 mph with in a few pedals is probably the best escape vehicle in a city.
Fast, silent, and can move places cars can’t.
No license plate, don’t need to register it with the government, can buy used ones easily with cash.

eventually got caught though
What I’m learning here is if you don’t do it on a bright orange custom frame with a 50 units / year production line you could basically do this forever
Indeed, with the rise of cheap and decent e-bikes, it seems pretty feasible with a bit of opsec and planning.
notes: do not conduct heists on a rare pinarello race bike
Pinarellos definitely aren’t 50 units / year rare so I say DO conduct heists on a pinarello race bike so that after the cops cleared the first hurdle (understanding what a bicycle is) they’re gonna look for dentists only
The Flying Pigeon PA-02 stays winning.
Maybe lower the amount of banks too.
and some people said the hitman didnt have a reason
What the fuck is your function as insurance if you’re denying 1/3 of all claims you fucking pieces of shit.
You’re paying them to take your money
Yeah it was rhetorical
the function of insurance is to take as much money as possible
Making money
Wow!
I fucking love this site
I hope to celebrate more CEO assassinations with you all
a stronger connection than I have with most of my IRL friends
Best news in a long time. Hopefully more of these parasite killers get offed
Here’s to the copycats.o7
Hopefully more of these parasite killers get offed
the parasite killer is still alive tho?
you’re either clever/based or deeply unserious
Lol good point. Guess a better term for the ceos would be parasitic killers.
The dude was a profesional, 100% its was a hit on him
Either a pro or the dude was a vet, like a vet who saw actual combat. He’s def used a gun before, I don’t think some disgruntled rando could walk off that calmly after shooting a guy three times.
If it’s a hitman I’m dying to know what for. This story has the potential to be soooo juicy. Please please please blow the lid off some major racketing shit ceos are in on.
Here’s hoping it’s a rival CEO who shorted the stock before it jumped 一箭雙鵰

cleared that jam like a pro for sure
I think he was using a slide lock pistol, with a silencer that’s the closest you can get to a quiet gun.
Depends on caliber and propellant. The most quiet gun is a .22 slide lock with a silencer and subsonic ammo. Sounds almost like like a hammer punching through drywall.
:chigurh:
petition for this face as an emoji
“If the law you followed to maximize shareholder value brought you to this point, then of what use was the law?”
Ah that makes sense; I was wondering why he had to rack the slide after every shot like a springer airsoft gun
So, I don't think its a 'slide lock' pistol, and here's why:
I’m pretty sure they don’t exist.
Perhaps you or someone else is aware of modern, magazine fed pistols which intentionally fire to a slide lock state with each shot, but afaik, that only ever happens with a faulty, malfunctioning semi-automatic handgun.
Usually you have to intentionally draw the slide back and then engage a slide lock, for all but the final round in the magazine.
A handgun that is designed, intentionally, to slide lock on each shot, despite having a magazine, seems very silly to me.
It would functionally be a single action, non semi-auto weapon, akin to a single action revolver that requires you to pull the hammer back before each shot.
Only benefit I can think of is that you control when spent casings are ejected… but this guy doesn’t grab his brass, so he’s not making use of that.
Further, having the slide lock to an open position does not make the gunshot any quieter.
How could it?
The gasses and spent casing would eject from the ejection port as the slide moves to the locked back position.
???
Not sure where you got this idea.
What I think is happening actually happening is that he’s using subsonic ammunition in a normal semi-auto handgun, with a threaded barrel and supressor.
Subsonic ammo exists for many common firearm calibers, it usually has a significantly lower grain (less gunpowder).
Benefit of this is that the gunshot is much quieter…
Downside is, depending on your weapon/ammo combination, this may not provide enough actual explosive force in the chamber to actually cycle a semi-auto action, so you have to work the action (in this case, the slide) yourself each time.
(That and your effective range, accuracy and velocity are reduced, but thats usually not a problem for point blank situations like this.)
After watching the extremely low quality video several times, I think this is actually what is occuring.
The slide does not appear to stay locked back after firing, for any of the shots.
For every shot, he has to fully cycle the slide, often multiple times, reaching down toward a pistol whose slide does not appear to be extended.
This behavior is quite commonplace when using subsonic rounds in a modern handgun.
From the size of the gun, it’s so small that it might not even be 9mm.
It could be .38, maybe even .22?
Fair enough, I guess I should have qualified with ‘commonly available, off the shelf, manufacturer standard, non custom built’ handguns, but I felt the Autism/detail level was extremely high in my post already.
I felt the Autism/detail level was extremely high in my post already.
Follow your heart of course, but I can pretty confidently say that the user base of this site is here for pretty much any amount of autism/detail level on a thread about an event like this
(not sure if this is the right usage for this emoji but I’m trying to agree with you)
It’s also possible it’s some Shinzo Abe assassin style home-made boondoggle. The footage is pretty blurry, so it’d be hard to tell
I mean technically you’re not wrong, its possible, but pretty unlikely.
Guns are not hard to get in America.
In Japan, they are extremely heavily regulated, extremely unavailable to civillians.
Entirely true, yeah.
if it was homemade, it would be printed, and printed frames aren’t significantly worse than factory ones. you’re allowed to buy everything other than the frame off the shelf with no regulation at all. aside from how easy it is to get a gun legally, an improvised gun in america will be way better than an improvised gun in japan.

Good points, though I did see in another thread someone linked to a purchase of a slide-lock pistol, they do exist. I have no opinion on whether or not he used one, but they do seem to be a thing.
He racks the slide immediately after the first shot so it does appear he’s running a manual action set up (either a manual action gun or just a standard semi auto and working the slide each time).
After the second shot he appears to have some trouble but he calmly fixes it and I can’t tell if he shoots a third time or is satisfied the guy is allready dead.
looks like hes collecting the casings to the bullets
Must have missed some because the news is reporting 9mm casings recovered at the scene
let’s hope they can’t get a print off of those, or that he’s so pro that he dropped decoy casings
Decoy is best scenario (and brilliant), but it’s NYC so they may just be covering ass and lying too. Which would be hilarious.
Prob a pro bono.
I doubt it. A professional wouldn’t have been that off on the first shok. The slide rack was just indicative of someone who knows their weapon. I think this was a vengeance kill.
I don’t know if it was a hit, he had written Deny, Defend and Depose on the shellcasings https://abcnews.go.com/US/man-shot-chest-midtown-manhattan-masked-gunman-large/story?id=116446382
this goes to show that you shouldn’t do adventurism unless you are a professional
If this guy somehow becomes the catalyst for Medicare for All, I will officially change my stance on
Otherwise though, it’s cool, let’s chill and enjoy vibes, but remember that we should not start doing adventurisms. Violence must be attached to a political movement.
Ever read “Radicalized” by Cory Doctorow?
spoiler
That’s exactly what happens in the story. Amazingly, it took a Canadian to point that very obvious notion out.
at that point it’s not adventurism, it’s orienteering
This motherfucker is questing
this goes to show that adventures are based because there are thousands of other people who got pork’d because they attended a protest, or just y’know, existed
Elaborate? I’m confused at what you’re trying to say.
my point is that it’s better to get suspended from school for attacking the bully than to get suspended for being the victim

I watched the video. I didn’t see the murder, I saw self-defence.
the CEO is chilling too
No he burning.
Some depictions of hell make it icy-cold, as a consequence of being so distant from the light and warmth of god.
You right… So I’ll say
thank you agent 47
*brass swell* Excellent work 47. Now, make your way to the nearest citibike for extraction
where is the footage? i can’t find it
Can’t make this shit up

Needs more Barry theme song
Man, that looks like something out of Metal Gear Solid with the way he fires that gun.
One must appreciate the calmness, discipline, and presence of mind it takes to manage that in a crowded city with a witness right there, even with the gun jamming.
you can tell that that witness was a new yorker the way she just calmly bailed

None of your fucking business 😂
Coward
What did they say?
Oh they were all up and down this thread talking about “Oh you Americans how you love your bloodshed you’re all just fash/tankies/Trump voters blah blah blah” and when asked what country they come from they refused to say. Which is why I called them a coward
It’s so funny you pretend you haven’t ever been happy about the news of any person receiving violence ever. The funniest thing is you probably believe it, your programming is so strong you can’t recall it in this very moment. Cognitive dissonance and the like.

That Rothschild guy on LinkedIn is clearly selling some bullshit health insurance product and is just mad that he can’t cold call Thompson to do a pitch. In other words, the way Thompson set up his account is working as intended rofl
Chuds have a real problem with them, even though they’re practically irrelevant these days. I think it’s anti-Semitism of some kind?
The real Rothschilds still have abit of money but chuds are dumb enough to think anyone with the same surname is connected to them lol
