As some of you may know, I post frequently on ANOTHER WEBSITE that is mostly devoted to answering questions. On that website I have been asked, and I have answered, about two dozen or so questions about hitmen and hired killers. The site also allows comments to the answers, and many of them are clearly written by people who live in a fantasy world when it comes to the dangerous topic of paid murders.
First things first: I’m not a hitman, nor have I ever been one. I’m speaking from a position outside of the field, and while I have referenced sources at the bottom of this narrative to bolster what I am writing, I’m not “in the trade”. Unfortunately for most people (but fortunately for their intended victims) most people are not in there, either. The majority of their “knowledge” comes from bad films and worse television series, and they cannot see where they are almost certainly going to get caught if they attempt to hire a paid killer, much less if that person is successful in the endeavor.
Let’s review: Most people don’t know people who would kill for money. While they may know people who can fix cars, do taxes, paint houses (No…not like the movie) and even a few who may sell the occasional amount of drugs, they usually don’t hang around with people who are willing murder another human being for money. This seems to be the reason that some many of the ridiculous “murder for hire” attempts that are written about and reported on television are so bizarre as they consist of people attempting to hire a stranger to do something that they cannot find a family member or a trusted friend to do.
Many seem to believe that if they approach a person who they believe to be “tough”, that they can help them find a killer, or that the “tough” person will do that themselves. For some reason they forget that most people who present a rough exterior are often deeply insecure, and are just as likely to crack if/when questioned by the authorities. They seem to believe that their need to have someone killed surmounts decades of social and psychological dysfunction in another human being, even there are no objective reasons to believe that. That’s their first “mistake”.
Next, they believe media reports that “X” types of people or “X” locations are full of criminals and that you will be able find one there. While this is occasionally true, the majority of the time, the criminal would prefer to victimize the person who comes to them seeking a “hitman”, rather than getting themselves involved in a dangerous conspiracy with a complete stranger. It’s easier for them to scam the intended employer, and then perhaps blackmail them for further money as the criminal knows that they can’t go back to the police for help. If the person who is trying to hire killer sat down and thought about what they were attempting to do, they would realize that they are in more danger than their intended victim will likely ever be,
Additionally, the authorities almost always have a script for what they are going to do if/when they are approached with information about someone seeking a hired killer. Basically they create a scenario that’s straight out a terrible movie, and the prospective employer falls for it every time. They confess to the undercover law enforcement agent (bonus points if they use a tattooed biker type or a Black or Latino “gang member”) multiple times, while also laying out their plans to be recorded for later use at trial, or during their plea negotiations. Basically the majority of encounters with a “hitman” are actually someone confessing to a police officer or federal agent.
Finally, the person trying to find a killer nearly always forgets that few people hate someone enough to kill them. Even if they are able to land a hitman, who does the job, and who doesn’t rip them off, they still have to contend with the fact that they (the person who contracted the killing) are a major suspect, if not the sole one. The fact that they outsourced their crime wasn’t particularly useful because even with an ironclad alibi, they’ll be suspected in the killing and watched for months or even years until the authorities believe that they have sufficient evidence for an arrest. Even if they are never arrested, they may end up fighting the insurance companies for what money that they anticipated, as well as having the survivors view them with hate and suspicion which creates many problems of its own.
My advice: If you are thinking about hiring a killer, book time with a psychiatrist or a divorce lawyer, whichever one you believe will more helpful. You don’t know any killers, it’s not like movies or television, and you are likely to be the main suspect regardless of who else does the murder. Basically if you move forward with transforming your idea into a plan, you simply end up dividing your life into a “good times” period and a “Hell on Earth” one. And that’s if the “hitman” doesn’t just take your money and disappear or reports yu to the police.
Just. Say. No.
