Remember that according to the FBI more than half of murderers know their victims personally, and about a quarter are family relations.
I think the police really need to drop this whole "assassination" false flag and investigate the more probable angles. Could be that he was closeted and killed by a jilted lover, or the husband of the secretary he was banging, or a hitman hired by the estranged wife. No sense in harassing every man with a green jacket over this.
It looked too amateurish to be a hit, although I suppose it could have been a budget hitman.
You think? An amateur would not have had that level of composure when the gun jammed. At a minimum they understood the limitations of their tools beforehand and was not surprised when it happened.
I don't think it jammed, some kind of silencer issue where you have to manual reload. I don't know guns just repeating talk I've heard. So the gunman would have known to manually reload like that...
He likely had an unregistered suppressor, which would lack a part that prevents jams. I've seen people saying he was probably accounting for the possibility of a jam
Yes I was dumbing it down but you're both right. My point is that they new it would happen and was prepared for it, ensuring smooth operation regardless of the limitation.
