That wasn't a one pump chump or a two hit wonder; that was one two buckle my shoe, three four out the door or more.

Based. Gunned down in the street like a dog.

Edit: I see now it's a single shot pistol so disregard the part about cleaning/oiling.

Are CEOs going to hire bodyguards now?

Now is the time to invest in private security firms, clearly.

I've always wondered how easy it is to destroy a company as CEO ...

A while back I worked for a mid size company where the (actually OK) CEO was ousted. He’d created the company from the ground up and was a decent bloke - I used to know his secretary, never a bad word said about him, suspect secretly based due to a few things I heard.
Anyway, he ‘leaves to spend more time with the family’ and company gets a new MBA type flown in and immediately goes full DEI but in such bizarre ways. They started putting policies in place that were cartoonishly bad for us and people started leaving. Share price just tanked, and ended up about a sixth of the high. They started firing everyone good high up and then I realised they were just reducing the age bill so it looks cheaper on paper and running it into the floor to be bought up cheap. I got offered a new job elsewhere and took it, and two weeks (lol) later they got bought out by some private consortium. They paid about 20% of what the company had previously been worth. Shareholders got fucked completely, they got pennies on the dollar for their shares in the buyout.

I remain convinced that the entire thing was a deliberate ploy to drive the wage bill and the worth right down so it could be bought cheap. it was a very interesting thing to witness from inside. I have absolutely no doubt that it was a controlled demolition and that this kind of thing happens quite a bit

Rookie assassin. He went for the Ruger instead of the Beretta. Suboptimal.

True artists will the Klobb into being to show that it's not about the tool, it's about the hand that wields it.

You too, can make a difference!

Faggot walz (didn’t even win his home district during the election) had to be quoted and complain about losing another vote and mega donor

I bet the fucker bled green like the heartless alien reptile he is.

 

[Damocles_Sword]

Two things about that vid.

Was it a pistol that just didnt like the suppressor or was it something like a welrod? Glowies blowing the dust off an old playbook?
The SUV center screen turned its lights on right before the target walked by, was it a signal?

 

[RodgerDodger]

Shooter is a white, 5’10’’ male. He used a suppressor, wore easily switched clothing, and had a backpack.

Well duh! You can tell just from the video the shooter wasn't black. He wasn't holding the gun sideways. And he actually hit what he was shooting at.

Stock price is up for the day. Never went negative, even at the moment the news broke.

lol

 

[hog cranking frog]

Ruger Mk IV is not single shot gun. It's semi auto. I'm looking right at one.

Assassin used the wrong ammo and had the gun setup incorrectly for a suppressor. Handguns have a number of considerations to make when suppressing.

It‘s not like his death is going to stop the company being profitable, they might just have to deny more claims to pay for an escort or two.

If they wanna fly their corporate flag at half-staff, that's fine, but flying the American flag at half-staff for this guy is fucking insulting. I thought we only did that upon a Presidential proclamation (and yes, I know the Flag Code really isn't enforceable).

 

[Not A Cat Person]

It's a Ruger Mark IV. They're single shot by design.

Oh, they're fine. Be nice. I'm also not convinced that's a Ruger Mk. IV. It's too grainy to make out. Did the police say it was a .22 or something?

It would be a real shame if someone fedposted the building.

Shooter must have been rolling a crit build if he was using anything in .22, but he got a bonus from the Sneak Attack and against an unarmored target, so...

The shot was safe and effective. Another W for the 2nd amendment.

Hey America, this is what you were supposed to be doing to these shitheaps the whole time.

I was wrong. Mark IV is semi, it's the Welrod that's the single shot.

It looks like the suppressor is almost the whole barrel length which is why I thought Mark IV.

Although he could just be using subsonic ammo with it which requires you to manually cycle it like that.
