And wouldn’t this tip off the cops or something. Kind of like the Wisconsion shooter posted? Where she was going to carry out an attack?

    Any person that offers to do that sort of thing is an undercover.
    Or they’re about to go to jail real soon.

    The internet is full of shit. I’d say there is a 100% chance you’re either getting trolled. Or someone will rip you off and then not be a hitman after all. It’s super easy to prey on people who are at rock bottom, or trying to do something illegal where you have to pay up-front.

      He’s good now. Well somewhat. He has to be in the hospital over Xmas. So we are going to bring him a fully cooked ham and all the fixins. I had to well lets just say make a donation to the hospital so he could get off the psych ward floor and his own room. My mom an ex PRN for the hospital asked them to do a full checkup so we would be able to bring him non hospital food. He checked out fine. So even though we get to spend it in a hospital we are together.

        Good to hear things are working out as best they can.

        I broke my scapula once ~December 21st. So I know what kind of fiasco it can be at the hospital and getting specialist treatment this time of year. By the time someone could schedule surgery, I was so far recovered that I opted out of operating. I had like 40% of the shoulder socket part of the scapula floating too.

        Stay positive, and Happy holidays!

    I wouldn’t be surprised if there were no active hit men at all. Maybe there are, idk, but there being none isn’t impossible.

    I remember reading once that like 99% of hitmen hired to do a job take the money and just go to the police to snitch on the person paying them. The average payment was also only like $3-5000. Which is small potatoes.

    Very much not like the movies. But then again, if they took the money and ran that means they got paid in advance and who does that? Even in the movies, the hitman takes payment after the job is done!
