I'm not going to reveal my sources to a sniper on a message board :hehe:

There may be some people who post on this MB who have through the horrors of conflict, have witnessed horrific scenes first-hand, and may chime in on this, but -
I'm pretty sure that if you fire a pistol into a person multiple times at close range there is a hell of a mess.
When they hit the floor, they twitch about for a long time.
Blood spatters abound, and blood seeps rapidly from the body.

What was it that we 'saw'?

It would be interesting to see the whole video to find out what that second microphone was used for, besides capturing the shooters rant.

Not sure what purpose there would be to murdering him.

Turkey and Russia have both put out statements.

The man who killed him recited sections from a poem used by al nusra of syria, so says Al Monitor.

Unless it was an american attempt to drive a wedge between russia and turkey by killing a chubby ambassador!.

It could also be a move by Russia to counteract US propaganda, though I've no idea to be honest.

Really? If you know, perhaps explain?

What kind of pistol projectile make no mess after multiple shots at very close range, but can dispatch a large man instantly - like in the footage?
This was concluded apparently without head-shot, but also apparently the man is dead in an instant but with no twitching and no bloodiness.

Hollow points - or the like - would make a heck of a mess.
Smaller calibre/pointed would mean that the man would not be instantly killed and instead be writhing and spurting blood .

I don't want to witness gore and death, but surely this 'killing' appears rather 'Hollywood U-rated' ?

Was anybody in attendance - the other side of the ambassador - hurt by any stray bullets?
What a skillful man that apparent crazed gunman must be.

I'm not taking any stance here. I just think we are fed incessant bulsh1t and this appears to be more of it - possibly.

As I said to gluey, we have all seen the Saigon execution, if he really wanted to get his message across he could have just walked over and blew his brains out, why couldn't they save him I wonder? you would think being hit so low down he would have a higher chance of survival wouldn't you?
