Yesterday morning, around 7:30 am, 24-year-old M. P. da S. A. was shot when he was planning to shop at a convenience store in Brazil.

He was surprised by 2 elements on a bike. One element walked towards him and shoots him in the back before the gun jammed. After fixing the gun he continues to shoot him multiple times in the head before fleeing the scene.

The victim worked at a marble company.

Don't these fucking idiots check their weapons before they commit the act, fuck sakes know your weapon.

I've owned Brazilian made guns (Taurus). Some of them don't work well when new. When you look at the close up photos of crime used guns in Brazil on this website, its a wonder they function at all. Worn by sand and sweat, encrusted with toe and BUTT JAM and belly button lint. I saw pictures of the FAL rifles used by the Argentines in the Falkland War, they were pretty beat up and didn't look well maintained. When you go south of the USA border, or even south of the Mason Dixon line in some places, things are aren't very well maintained.

He wear no shoeshine
He got TOE JAM football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me

With cuts in the budget, they had to downsize to one guy on a bike rather than the typical two guys on a bike

I was told by someone once that you should never use an automatic unless you have shot it before, and know that it works. They recommended a revolver, because they always work. (Don't know if that is true, never having been in a gunfight, and with no desire to ever be in one, but this guy was a pistol guru.)

Thank you!

I'm English so don't come into contact with guns, but yea a revolver is pretty much the safest bet where reliability is concerned.

The guy in the background is walking around and watching, all calm as if shootings are a daily occurrence. (Judging from the posts here in DR, they are).

Ah, just need to maintain your weapon. Clean that shit, keep it properly oiled. If you're terrible at keeping your gun maintained. Buy a Glock. They usually will shoot even if you store in in your asshole.
