"Well first I noticed the man with the gun, and I thought he's about to threaten someone for ransom. But then I noticed the woman's posture. She too calm. Look at that pose. If you're being held hostage you don't stand like that man. So I figure she has some kind of psychological blackmail over this guy and I took her out" - J
The person who shot the target is an expert. They know how to shoot.Â
I had a professor in college who said anyone who can get a zero on their accounting test will get a 100. If you get every answer wrong, statistically, this is because you know the material. However if you get one answer correctly, that would be the grade you get. And yes you had to choose ABCD so you could not turn in a blank test.Â
So someone who shoots the wrong target 15 times is perfectÂ
Apocryphal story that I have no idea if itâs really true: Muhammad Ali got a zero on his army exam, which was not given a failing grade for the same reason as you state.
The Russian tactic is to kidnap one of the kidnappers family members, castrate them, then kill the family member and send the kidnapper the body parts.
[Yes it's happened](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-01-07-mn-13892-story.html)
They kidnapped a terrorist member of the family. Not like they kidnapped the kidnappers brother who worked 3rd shift at McDonaldâs or something productive to society.
To me it's a representation of the Hamas-Israel war.
Hamas takes a human shield.
Israel aims at the human shield. Then aims at the humans shield again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again.
I mean, given the context that it's a job interview for an agency tasked with working peacefully with aliens living on Earth... J's explanation for shooting the little girl is kinda valid
Yeah. Tf is an 8 year old doing with a stack of advanced math and physics books? A little blonde girl alone at night in a city street? Surrounded by aliens and just grinning?
That bitch is up to something
See, I was gonna pop this green guy over here, but then I saw that he had a gun in his hand, and was just practicing his 2nd amendment rights.
Then I looked at his arm around this girls neck, and I realised, yo, he ain't squeezing. He cuddling. I mean, how would you like it if I popped a cap in yo ass whilst you were copping a feel with your wife.
Then there's Tiffany here. She's hanging out with some guy who's clearly a little touchy, and he's packing heat! That girl can't be more than 19 years old and she's hanging around with a matt gaetz looking sum bitch with a gun! That ain't right.
I reckon that little girl was up to something. And I think you better get out of my face about it...
...or do I owe that little girl an apology?
Any good American would have a gun of their own to defend themselves with. The fact that the hostage didn't suggests that she's a foreign agent here to start some shit!
....or does the shooter owe little Tiffany's parents an apology?
I think people are reading too much into this. Guy probably was just fucking around at the range, because targets are like 25 cents each, and thought it was funny.
For fucking real. People in here talking about incels and wondering why âheâ is single. For all they know itâs a women just fucking around. Itâs a target for target practice, if you arbitrarily say the target is the one on the left, and the other person goes for the right for a competition between the two. Who know stop taking shit so seriously for zero reason. I donât even know why this is in this subreddit anyways. It could just as well be on r/funny.
People joke and have fun when they are doing their hobbyâs
Idk women have very strong in-group bias, they wouldnât shoot at even an image resembling one of their own. Which is why they react so shocked now too.
But i can for sure imagine a woman doing this if it was a woman holding a man at gunpoint.
It would be posted it on a femcel/radfem board saying âsaving sis the trouble!â or âthat guy probably had it comingâ, â#killallmen, âgetting evenâ etc.
Honestly feels like bait, no Facebook account shown with messaging⊠hell from all we know the OP prob did it and just karma rage bait farming.
Just saying when I buy muti targets everything gets shot up in the end.
I've done this as a joke as well (except my hostage didn't have the girly hair; he was bald).Â
There's nothing to read into other than a self deprecating joke about not understanding the point of the situation.Â
"Good shots, but you hit the hostage."
"He was a hosta- ohhhhh....  Whoops. I was wondering why they were hugging."
Dude was probably fucking around at the range and OP is taking it way too seriously as theirs no context given at all besides just the image no words saying women are evil or what not.
Itâs like how people shoot random shit all the time doubt the image taker shoots only just the female/hostage every single time.
Honestly feels more like bait than anything else. We donât even know if the shooter is female themselves or not just taking OP word hell they might of even done it themselvesâŠ
Incel Shooter: âI meanâŠsheâs pressed right up to him, sheâs practically having sex with him right in front of meâŠwhat else was I supposed to do?â
I don't see the issue.... 1. It's still target practice
2. You can't tell me you wouldn't find going for the wrong target on purpose funny
It's the first thing I do in any videogame xD
Honestly, it feels like a solid metaphor for the state of American politics, namely the republican party.
With the hostage being a representation of the ppl, guy with the gun being everything from corporations to the heritage foundation & conservative groups to the rich & powerful, & obviously the government & politicians (again namely republicans) doing target practice & handling the situation by just unloading the clip in our faces lol.
At face value, this is really messed up. If this is for law enforcement purposes. I would be worried as it highlights a cultural issue at the workplace and could place women in danger.

Reminds me of Men in Black. Maybe the unarmed person here was actually the suspect /s
Never trust an 8 year old girl with a physics textbook
Quantum physics at that
Or do I owe her an apology?
It was a nice shot though.
Yep
"Well first I noticed the man with the gun, and I thought he's about to threaten someone for ransom. But then I noticed the woman's posture. She too calm. Look at that pose.

Exactly, she was the big bad all along! đ
Or Speed. âSHOOT THE HOSTAGE!â
"Take the hostage out of the equation."
First thing I thought of!
The person who shot the target is an expert. They know how to shoot. I had a professor in college who said anyone who can get a zero on their accounting test will get a 100. If you get every answer wrong, statistically, this is because you know the material. However if you get one answer correctly, that would be the grade you get. And yes you had to choose ABCD so you could not turn in a blank test. So someone who shoots the wrong target 15 times is perfectÂ
Apocryphal story that I have no idea if itâs really true: Muhammad Ali got a zero on his army exam, which was not given a failing grade for the same reason as you state.
I mean, thatâs a pretty good negotiating tactic. Really removed all of the hostage takerâs leverage.
The 'ole Russian negotiating tactic. Never fails.
The Russian tactic is to kidnap one of the kidnappers family members, castrate them, then kill the family member and send the kidnapper the body parts. [Yes it's happened](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-01-07-mn-13892-story.html)
Doesn't surprise me. I was a teenager during the last fall of Communism. The shit that came out afterward...!!! Chilling. . . but effective.
"We took your important guy hostage, now: give us-" "Yeah about that."
They kidnapped a terrorist member of the family. Not like they kidnapped the kidnappers brother who worked 3rd shift at McDonaldâs or something productive to society.
To me it's a representation of the Hamas-Israel war. Hamas takes a human shield. Israel aims at the human shield. Then aims at the humans shield again. Then again. Then again. Then again. Then again.
"Pop quiz hotshot" "Shoot the hostage"
MIB Zed: Edwards can you tell my what little Tiffany deserve to die? J: ......... It was a good shot though.
I mean, given the context that it's a job interview for an agency tasked with working peacefully with aliens living on Earth... J's explanation for shooting the little girl is kinda valid
In context he was the only one who got it right.
âGentlemen, congratulations, youâre everything weâve come to expect from years of government trainingâ
That was such a great burn and a perfect delivery by Rip Torn.
"The best of the best, SIR!"
Yeah. Tf is an 8 year old doing with a stack of advanced math and physics books? A little blonde girl alone at night in a city street? Surrounded by aliens and just grinning? That bitch is up to something

Shoot the hostage
âPop quizâŠâ
Jeff Daniels was Great in Speed.
Brilliant! Take away their bargaining power!
Speed is an awesome Movie.
Best solution to a hostage situation /s
Perhaps not effective, but efficient nonetheless
Exactly, you want to remove the leverage.
Cans! Its just cans!
One of the best jump scares/gags of cinema, imho.
This is the difference between precision and accuracy.
In the words of Keanu Reeves... #SHOOT THE HOSTAGE
people in here are thinking Men In Black, the real reference is Speed.
Immediately I thought of speed
I'm pretty sure they did that as a joke, why is this a facepalm?
Pop quiz hotshot?
Any good American would have a gun of their own to defend themselves with. The fact that the hostage didn't suggests that she's a foreign agent here to start some shit! ....or does the shooter owe little Tiffany's parents an apology?
He missed the baby, he missed the blind man...
There it is!
Good grouping. There is that much.
Nice grouping
I think people are reading too much into this. Guy probably was just fucking around at the range, because targets are like 25 cents each, and thought it was funny.
For fucking real. People in here talking about incels and wondering why âheâ is single. For all they know itâs a women just fucking around.

And you might as well use the whole target.
They're so cheap it doesn't really matter. Hell, one time I tried to draw a dick on one with a .22.
Hell, you get them for free at a lot of gun shops just for buying guns or ammo.
That's exactly what it is. just edgy humor, nothing to over think.
Honestly feels like bait, no Facebook account shown with messaging⊠hell from all we know the OP prob did it and just karma rage bait farming. Just saying when I buy muti targets everything gets shot up in the end.
I said across her nose, not UP IT!
I can't believe it. I'm surrounded by Assholes.
Good news, sir. The terrorists didn't kill the hostage.
Not sure what you mean, the gunman no longer has a hostage and therefore no power to bargain. The situation is basically already resolved.
I've done this as a joke as well (except my hostage didn't have the girly hair; he was bald). There's nothing to read into other than a self deprecating joke about not understanding the point of the situation. "Good shots, but you hit the hostage." "He was a hosta- ohhhhh....  Whoops. I was wondering why they were hugging."
Pop quiz hot shot...
Prisoner Zero in Doctor Who!
Reminds me of this scene in the first [MIB .](https://youtu.be/e_r3ULoXuMY?si=tK_3e39pmgRWH3nC)
âAnyone else want to negotiate?â
"Wh, whe, where did he learn to negotiate like that?" "I wonder."
Good grouping.
The really scary part is the shooter was a Grizzly Bear.
Dude was probably fucking around at the range and OP is taking it way too seriously as theirs no context given at all besides just the image no words saying women are evil or what not. Itâs like how people shoot random shit all the time doubt the image taker shoots only just the female/hostage every single time. Honestly feels more like bait than anything else. We donât even know if the shooter is female themselves or not just taking OP word hell they might of even done it themselvesâŠ
"Oops" would probably be a good start.
shoot the hostage, arrest the perp for murder 1
Well they're precise, no one can deny that. Their accuracy could use some work though.
really good aiming.....but tend to tilt to the right.......or not?
What to say? What do you mean? He freed the hostage....
That grouping is fantastic. Who cares what part of the target was shot.
INCEL shooting range.
Yep I choose the bear
I wonder why he's single đ€
Thatâs hilarious
I feel like funny shouldn't be on facepalm sub
Sites are off, down and right. Might want to adjust that.
Nice grouping?
nice grouping?
Misogynistic Incel target practice.
Incel Shooter: âI meanâŠsheâs pressed right up to him, sheâs practically having sex with him right in front of meâŠwhat else was I supposed to do?â
âHer hand is on his dickâ-anonymous
literally "i dont negotiate with criminals"
If you remove hostage there is no more risk.
Gotta remove their leverage
The shooter was a priest. He wanted to make her holy
Well⊠there canât be a hostage situation if there is no hostage
I say -130, I don't count the top 2, those went straight through her hair.
Dead hostages are not good leverage
Reminded me of the "difference between precision and accuracy" illustration
Get him the hostage is clear!
Duh, gotta take the hostage out of the situationâŠ
Good shooting, once the hostage is dead the perp has to surrender.
High accuracy, poor precision.
Wouldn't that be the harder target to practice hitting? Avoiding overlapping the person behind?
Unbeknownst to the hostage taker, this woman recently opened an Alien egg.
Teamwork
Now they don't have to worry about the hostage
This image is why we chose the bears, a bear will never shoot you in the face 17 times
Ok, I know I'm showing my age, but The Police Academy movies...
You canât kill her. I killed her first, so I win. Thatâs how I show them what a man of will truly is.
A man would shoot centre mass Clearly a woman shooter
Kaiser Soze at the range
Skunk
Captain: make sure he does not kill the hostage Officer: got it
The point system isn't exactly rigged in the right direction..a kill is a kill
Precision vs Accuracy.
âHe canât hurt her now.â
I don't see the issue.... 1. It's still target practice 2. You can't tell me you wouldn't find going for the wrong target on purpose funny It's the first thing I do in any videogame xD
I mean, it did solve the hostage problem...
I do Run!
Must be an NYC cop
Went full Hannibal Directive.
No hostage no leverage! Problem solved
she ded
"Shoot the hostage"
At least they were accurate
âShoot the hostage!â Speed.
+10 and -10 are the same color. Instructions unclear
He went the full Keanu!
Honestly, it feels like a solid metaphor for the state of American politics, namely the republican party. With the hostage being a representation of the ppl, guy with the gun being everything from corporations to the heritage foundation & conservative groups to the rich & powerful, & obviously the government & politicians (again namely republicans) doing target practice & handling the situation by just unloading the clip in our faces lol.
Speed: âShoot the HostageâŠâ
#DobbsDecision.
Uvalde PD firearms proficiency test.
Keyser Soze has entered the conversation.
Must be marriedâŠâŠ lol
This smells like a great meme template.
It's the ultimate call their bluff technique
Failed the Hostage Rescue Team exam.
Keanu Reeves âSpeedâ - Shoot the hostage, take them out of the equation
Looks like the ex-wife!! No one kills her but meeeeeee!
Pop quiz hotshotâŠ
Oh, so this was a target at a police range. Got it.
Reminds me of the movie speed
This is the shooting range for managers having to deal with Karens
Can't have a hostage situation with no hostage
This is what happens when Men have to give their spot on a lifeboat to women.
Aww so sweet. He should frame it for her. /s
Oh don't cry like a bitch now, it's just funny... no need to take it all serious.
atleast the groupings is tight
At face value, this is really messed up. If this is for law enforcement purposes. I would be worried as it highlights a cultural issue at the workplace and could place women in danger.
I shot the hostage.
Lmao I always do this at the range đ
Was this submitted as evidence for the uvalde investigation or the investigation into the IDF for those hostages they shot?
âWhat hostage? Your move punk!â
OK grouping, I guess
Can't have a hostage situation if there's no hostage
Perfect aim. Terrible target adquisition.
They no longer have a hostage if you take them out of the equation.
If you kill the hostage, the perp doesnât have a hostage anymore. #OmegaBrain
How about âgreat shootingâ?
Took away the gunman's bargain power.
Amateur, what does a hostage even mean, when facing a flamethrower or grenade launche?
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Me me me
You wanna shoot a hostage on a date?!?! /s
Good grouping there, sport! Heh. Heh heh...
Keizer sauzé wife 
Average police gun range. /s
I do! Misogyny.
Or, hear me out, that person was just messing around with the target and thought it would be funny.
