Agent - probably so, although, I'd prefer that the targets know they are targets. They deserve the thought, in my opinion. Also, again, in my opinion, Mangione took the path of a coward, shooting him in the back. I think it's more meaningful that people see what they have coming, and from whom, even if only for a brief second. It inflicts a well-deserved, lasting psychic trauma, as they have done collectively to others. It makes payback a forever bitch.

A coward? Dishonorable? Every bit as honorable as a drone strike.

There's some truth in your words, E.

Actually, the videos of it that I saw showed that the 1st shot in the back was to disable him, then he shot him point blank in the face for the kill shot.

Some articles said that was a common 'hit man' technique.
