What’s the American equivalent of pushing somebody off balconies or out of windows?

In Ivana‘s case, a fall down the stairs.

Close tie with overdoses or suicide by cop.

Andriesz had a heart attack at his desk in 2015. He says colleagues nearby did nothing while he was having it. He later developed panic attacks that felt like more heart attacks and has needed inpatient trauma treatment more than once since.

In 2016 he had a second serious cardiac episode, and says that while he was receiving emergency treatment for it, he was asked to join a work video call and warned about the consequences of not complying.

He was dismissed weeks after returning to work, newly married and trying to rebuild his life. He says the firm's retaliation included sending him to two doctors of its own choosing, one of whom had an unrelated lawsuit against them for writing false reports.

The people around him are the monsters in this world that we should all fear.

Not a Boogeyman under the bed, but a regular person walking around without empathy.

The CIA has a heart attack gun they're very proud of.

An apparent suicide with 2 self-inflicted bullet wounds to the back of the head.

That’s not physically possible. Kushner uses Israel’s playbook.

Gary Webb

You mean the guy who shot himself in the side of the head? About 3.5% of gun suicides involve multiple shots to the head. The first doesn't always kill and at that point most people aren't going to want to suffer and slowly bleed to death.

I mean if we're being analytical here, the guy in the article of this post probably wasn't murdered either

There are records of people attempting suicide to shoot themselves twice in the head. Some of them survive to confirm that. To the back of the head would be unusual for a suicide.

An episode of "Cops" had shown such an instance. The guy was in fact conscious and talking to responders. No info re anything else.

ICE calling you a "domestic terrorist" and that you tried "ramming ICE with your car" so they had to shoot you in the back?

They put you in jail and then the cameras mysteriously malfunction and you “hang yourself”.

•

u/Skrivus 3h ago

Hacking a person's car and causing it to go violently out of control. Like Michael Hastings in 2013.

Since self-driving cars are obviously the future, this is unfortunately really plausible....

Hanging themselves in jail.
