Innocent? Really? Well, pay up then.

Well, when people realize he got hit they're going to run away. You run with them. Also if he's in open air, like he's giving a speech, they can't get metal detectors out unless they block off the entire area.
1. Hard as hell to do.
2. It'll cause even more of a panic when he gets nailed.

I have adopted a philosophy as of late, despite all my pacifist tendancies.

Ignorance merits death.

 

Ok, great suggestion Matt, C-4 is so easy to obtain compared to a pistol.

Anyway, can we please stop implicating me in this conversation speculating on methods of political assasination? This is uickly turning into a very scary thread.

<edit> This fact isn't helped by the fact that I've just watched Taxi Driver for about the 12th time. Great movie...

 

Hmm...not really disturbing just another fool looking for another excuse to squander your hard-earned dollars, euros, shiny conch shells, etc.

Are you talking about?
<edit> seriously, please explain it, it made no sense to me.

 

Other good assassination techniques:

Poisoning: It's frighteningly easy to slip sodium iodine or something nastier into someone's food and/or drink. And it's hard to trace.

Accidental: Anything similar to pushing someone off a cliff, into a marsh, or a den full of wild dogs. Basically, killing someone to make it look like an accident.

The Hunting Accident: Unique enough to have it's own category. This one is where a group of buddies go out hunting, and one doesn't come back. That one is later found in the forest with a bullet in the back. Either he was in the wrong place and shot as a deer, or it was simply a missed shot that carried too far. Or not. In the old days they used arrows. When I remember some of the specific Medieval examples I'll post them.

Hit and Run: Can sometimes fit into the Accidental category, but is harder to disguise. The benefit is a near-sure kill or at least maiming, and few people remember the liscence plate of the car that just killed the person they are looking at. Speaking of accidents, read The Crowd by Ray Bradbury. It's a short and disquieting tale.

Italian Rope Trick: The main benefit of strangulation is that it's quiet and hard to trace. And you can say you just did an Italian Rope Trick on someone, in a husky New Jersey accent. That is, if the job was in any way more fancy than simply garroting the mark from behind.

The Pillow Treatment: Smothering the sleeping victim with a pillow. Great, because it's silent, utterly untraceable (as long as gloves are worn, but what good criminal doesn't wear gloves), and can be easily mistaken for natural death, especially if the mark is elderly.

 

Fuck the strangulation technique of the Italian Rope Trick, get yourself a nice length of wire, handles on the end, give it a twist so you get a loop, drop over someone's head, and yank the handles hard as you can. Voila, instant death. Quicker than strangling someone as well I'd say.

 

If you're going to be that unrealistic, why not just sneak in as a butler and unzip your fly and nuke him with your heat seeking crotch missiles?

Good luck finding a wire thats gonna cut through his bones, using only the force your scrawny fore arms can provide.

 

you don't have to sever someone's head to kill them... as long as the wire slices through flesh, it will neatly garrote your victim, spewing blood in lovely arcs from his throat... and the head will still be attached, so no need to go find it when it rolls away.

 

The idea of the weapon is to slice the carothid artery if possible. I still think having him experience an Underark Centipede Muff Dive® would be the best way to kill him.

 

Actually yeah, why the fuck would you bother with a wire from behind, when a knife from behind is much easier. Both methods are obviously murder, and knifing is over much faster. Bloodier though. Ah well, better out than in.
