You guys are all hilarious.
If a secret service had wanted Hastings dead they would have had some hoods break into his house, simulate a robbery/ransacking, stab him and run off.
Extra credit when they ensure the hoods are later arrested and brought on trial, only to have the case thrown out because evidence about the murder weapon gets thrown out because an investigating officer "accidentally" broke chain of custody.
- wavefunction 13y agoMaybe the methods would be tailored to the specifics of the person targeted. That makes a lot more sense than some sort of generic "send in the goon squad."
- mpyne 13y agoYes, but people are saying that "someone" specifically tailored an unusually violent car wreck and fire to kill this guy. The key word is "unusual", which is what you would not see if the pros actually wanted him dead.
