French Shootings.

Dur, haven't you seen Leon?! No women, no children. OK this guy broke the women rule, but thankfully left the kids alive.

Leon's real, right?

Do we have any actual specifics in order to be objective on whether it was a professional killing or not, the ampunt of rounds used and the survival of two children is not really conclusive either way.

Specifics no, but we do have an awful lot of internet commentators who have watched one too many hollywood outings.
 
I think they most likely saw/stumbled upon something they shouldn't have seen and this was sadly the tragic outcome :-(
I don't buy the Pro assassination theory as it makes no logical sense!
A professional would have waited to take out the target alone rather than kill an entire family and generate a huge amount of heat and police pressure! imho

Pro's kill women and children all the time without thinking about it.

I would imagine that this is in no doubt a professional job. But, if this particular job was done by a western agency. Eastern European, Middle east teams would have most certainly killed the children.

I said wrong to this job, not others.

[Edit] I include Mossed in the western side, well, for this particular job.

Look, if the children was killed as well, the interest in this incident would have jumped up 2000%.

Again depends on the circumstances, intentions and motivations of bith the killer and the person who hired them.....and just becasue there are survivors doesn't mean that the killings were not done by a hired gun.
 
Gun experts now claiming the weapon most likely used was a Skorpion machine pistol :eek:

Not really the sort of gun associated with professional hit-men / assassins ?!?!
More of a gangster/drug gangs kinda weapon, perhaps he had ripped off/double crossed some drug dealers/gangsters and this was payback?!?!

What ever the reason the police need to get their fingers out and catch whoever is responsible, they are seriously messed up and a massive danger to society!

To be fair the Israelis kill Palestinian women and children for the craic. But that's those ****s for you.



I think it's impossible to tell if this was a pro job, or just some well paid thugs who do this day in day out.

I'm sure there are some disgusting individuals in this world that would kill anyone/anything. Heck, they even shot that French father/family man, in cold blood - no revenge/retaliation there. That almost sickens me more than the actual shooting. How anyone could kill a child or even beat them to within an inch of their life is beyond me. Then again I'm not a mindless thug, and actually care about my fellow humans around me. We're on this earth such a short time, and so insignificant in the grand scheme of things - it seems daft to kill one another :/


This is all such a mystery - I just hope no more innocent people are killed/injured. I still cannot imagine what that poor French family are going through, having lost their husband/father/son... For what?! :(

That gun was partially designed for special forces.

How do we not know he was the intended target?
 
Well then that begs the question why kill an innocent family then? It's the same issue... I honestly doubt that there wasn't some innocent life not taken.
 
I think the fact the children were left alive was a simple oversight by the killers than anything else, the parents would have instinctively shielded the children and they would have instinctively remained still to avoid attracting attention, the fact that a french cyclist who happened to be passing and who was presumably a witness was shot dead shows how ruthless they were prepared to be, shooting dead a couple of children wouldn't have bothered them at all.

I think it has all the hallmarks of an assasination rather than a simple robbery, but as who is really responsible I doubt we'll ever find out.
 
A colleague of mine used to work with Saad al-hilli (about 2.5 years ago), and remembers there being a family property dispute at the time. He was a very nice guy apparently. Don't have any more nuggets though.
