MONKMAN Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Why do the absolute zoomers (conspiracy theorists) never come up with any credible explanation, instead choosing the “you believe what you want, we know the truth” routine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. I got a load of shite about being a Daily Mail reader because I believe religious fundamentalists attacked New York because of American foreign policy in their region. What a sheep I am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Why do they never manage to shoot them and keep them alive. Agent Gibbs would not be happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American police have a similar issue. Apparently you aim for the torso because it’s the easiest target - shooting people in the leg to stop them and question them is just for films. Plus, in this instance, you don’t wanna keep someone with what looks like a bomb strapped to them alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim small hit big. Once you have decided you actually are shooting someone, I imagine your next priority becomes complete immobilisation as fast as possible. The plod will be under the assumption that detonation of the bomb they have just seen is only the flick of a switch away. No way you can stop that from happening by any means other than instantly killing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a CCTV of a shop burglar getting shot in the heart, still able to run out of the shop, died on the pavement. Couple of shots to the head advised too, if you ever end up in such a situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they have the dead man switch too which means shooting them anywhere still results in boom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin foil hatters will love this. ETA the video: I have couple of questions regarding this. “If” that is the dude who was shot. Why is the rest of the bridge empty? Surely the police wouldn’t shoot him and just go away? Why is the video clip only 12 seconds long, surely you would record the rest of it to see what he does next, where he goes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like all head shots are immediately fatal either. Then there's always the chance that a headshot could cause them to trigger the bomb, or that they're using a release trigger, which definitely would. If you're actually serious about blowing yourself up, I'd have thought you'd go for that option. So, in closing, we're all doomed.
