You know the type. High security, weeks or months of stakeout, sniper three blocks away...

The hitman sorta things I recall from the news are either planned and executed by national intelligence agents or some savage gunning and running from hired brutes, but never the variant with sophistication and private sector.

To address the questions you’re really asking;

  • Yes
  • Starts at €10k
  • I don’t work on weekends
[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

10k!? This is what letting in all these immigrants does. Hows a fella supposed to make a cush living when its just being given away.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It starts at $10k. That means that you'll never actually be spending that little. That's probably the price for a sick toddler and you have to supply the tools yourself. These hitmen nickel and dime you just like any other service.

Yeah but until Nov 22 you get 40% off any order over $35k

Fun fact, Joe exotic from tiger king is in prison for paying 3000 for a hit on Carole baskins

You get what you pay for, I guess.

Oh bummer. I was hoping you could take me out with a spectacular long range headshot this weekend, disappear without any trace or explanation, and leave everybody baffled and speculating for years to come.
