A federal agent who shot a Chicago woman multiple times after he said she struck his vehicle with her own bragged about his shooting skills in text messages with other agents, according to records presented Wednesday at a hearing in the case against the woman.
Records presented at the hearing showed that in a group Signal chat with other agents, which Exum described as a support group, he wrote in part: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.”
In a message to another recipient, Exum sent a news article about the event followed by the message: "Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes."

Not to mention she lived. So.. he's a.. good shot I guess?

Is the "5 shots, 7 holes" supposed to be some kind of attempted sexual innuendo? Or is it literal, like only two of the bullets had exit wounds?
Carmakazi@piefed.social · 32 pts · 294d
One or two bullets may have exited the torso then into an arm or vice-versa, it happens. He is most likely being literal. "I shot her so good I got more hits than I fired shots."

If they were defensive wounds it would likely have been vice-versa.

I thought reading it as anything other than sexual innuendo is a stretch. How would he know how many exited. I also imagine the same kind of person who would shoot someone unarmed 7 times and brag about it is also the kind of psychopath who would try to make an ill-attempted sexual innuendo about it.
I just wouldn’t rule it out and I don’t think he deserves the benefit of the doubt here.

It doesnt make sense as an innuendo even if it sounds like one. On a technical basis a person normally has 7-8 holes in them depending on physiology. Even if you simplify that to the ones normally considered sexual (not to kink shame the nostril lovers), thats three holes, not two.
So it really makes no sense as a sexual innuendo. Either way the guy is obviously insane

Multiple 'agents' fired, only 7 bullets struck target; this guy is claiming 5/7 were his bullets so everyone else can't aim.

we can play that game too

Ok. Are you going to get in the game soon, or..? Because, from the other side of the pond, it looks like people are doing nothing but film their fellow countrymen and women while they're being kidnapped by fat men in non-official cameo clothes. We don't see much of anyone stepping in and play by the rules that, by now, is very much like some bad old western movie. We only see mothers and children being draged by insecure men that hides their faces, while no one does anything. Let me know when you've entered the game, though, I'm eager to see it happen.

We need to work in many different directions. Soap box and ballot box are working hard right now.

I deleted my comment because I realize it was aggressive. But since you've responded: Fuck your liberal centrist privilege. Youre the kind of bitch who is fine with state violence as long as you can keep shopping at target. You are part of what got us here.

What do you suggest they do?
Eta: Always be super careful when people sitting on the shitter tell you that you should go out into the world and commit real life violence. Nobody who does these behaviors is out here on the internet flagging it for the world to see. They could be lazy internet-dwellers, they could be edgy teens, they could be feds, but don't let them influence you. And if you're going to do what they suggest, for God's sake don't talk about it.

The implication seems pretty clear to me. Nobody likes that solution, but it's becoming increasingly inevitable the longer this goes on.

Meanwhile, weapons and spyware continue to coalesce into the wrong hands.
lennybird@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 294d
Well said. So tired of these boisterous bullshitters always running their mouths off conveniently from somewhere else. If they're so concerned and would do the right thing, they can simply buy a plane ticket.

seriously, the only way that shit is effective is if your a lone wolf (or working in a very tight team). lone wolfs especially are basically unstoppable, unless they're stupid enough to tell people their plan online

I am not suggesting anything; your 2nd amendment, however, does. Against something called "tyranny". If you do not believe that that definition is already fulfilled by your pedophile in charge, I'll, rightfully so, take a step back. Until then.

Ah, nothing like stochastic edging from someone conveniently from the other side of the pond, huh.
Alas, who are you but yet another neighbor, bystander, witness to this tragedy? Why don't you buy youself a plane ticket, good samaritan? Simply so you can clearly show us how it's done, whatever it is that you're referring to of course!

For what it's worth, the news coming out of the US are HEAVILY censored. Every major news org is owned by a billionaire nazi.
I live in Canada now but I'm originally a NYer, and despite living so close, news about the resistance movement doesn't always make it here. I only find out through talking with my friends back home.
comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu · 2 pts · 294d
Yeah, I understand that. It's horrible. US is in deeply troubled spot now, but some time the will need to act, in whatever way necessary, if they want to save their democracy. And the longer that act is taking to enforce; the more uncomfortable it will be to perform. My fear is that they won't act before it's too late (if it isn't already, but I want to believe that it isn't), if the worlds biggest democracy completely falls; that sends a message to all conservative movements on the globe that their undemocratic ways is a winning strategy. The heat is on US, for now, there are many in the works elsewhere (very much including my country, our next biggest party is a MAGA/NAZI party; we have our much similar battles here, too, not yet as extreme, but very concerning either way).

Please, by all means, show us the way and lead by example, instead of being a second rate arm-chair general behind the keyboard.

Put this fuck in a deep, dark hole. Then walk away and forget about him.

Put him in a dark hole and let the victim fire 5 shots back. I'm certain she'll be able to best his "7 hole" record, the subhuman that he is.
