Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You always get a glimpse of his true personality that shows he’s actually medically insane, like diagnosable as not understanding emotions in others, not having a correct theory of mind in others. All he can consider is what’s in it for him. He’d look beyond someone killing his loved ones (loved used very loosely here) if the killer had a great “deal” for him that enriched him enough or gave him enough power or favors.
Hell, he probably paid the person who killed his first wife...
Let’s be honest.. he definitely never actually paid
I thought contract killers are normally paid in advance? I wouldn't know since I've never needed those services.
Half in advance, half when it's done. Those are the standard terms.
Killer doesn't want to get ripped off by a buyer stiffing him on payment. But the buyer also doesn't want to get ripped off by a killer who just takes the money and disappears with it (without doing the job). Since, obviously, you can't have proper legal contracts and escrow for this kind of shit, half-and-half is the best available compromise. Each party still might get ripped off, but at least they'd only be missing out on half.
This is for independent contractors, of course. If you're working within an organized crime situation where other contract enforcement options are available, the terms could be different. And things will likely also be much different if the buyer and killer already have an established working relationship and trust.
And 'standard' doesn't mean 'mandatory'. Each individual contract can of course be negotiated on its own terms. Maybe the killer has an excellent and well-proven reputation of getting the job done, which makes the buyer willing to pay more or all of it in advance. Maybe the buyer is offering so much above market price that the killer is willing to take the risk on non-payment because the possible payout is so high. Etc.
How do you know all of this?
