Are you kidding me? Seriously?

What makes it easier to kill and get away? Here's a list:
A car enables someone to partially hidden during a shooting and then leave the area quickly.
If on foot, running shoes could help a killer.
Hell, most clothing would help. Shooting someone while naked kind of highlights a shooter.
Knowledge of the law and police procedure along with the know how and means for taking forensic counter measures would help more than a silencer.
And finally, the money to afford a good lawyer might help if those other things don't.
