The suspect admits to shooting people at Crocus City Hall, that he was offered around $5,400 to shoot 'anyone' - and that the terrorist act was organized on Telegram with an unknown person who provided weapons.

The attack was being prepped a month ago.

Damn, $5400, that's how much human lives cost. But seriously, who is doing this for such a low sum?

A lot of ISS terrorism (and I think other organizations) it's presumed you will die and the check goes to your family. In certain parts of the world, that's a fair amount that could prop up a poor family.

There are lots of people with absolutely nothing. There are lots of people who live in places where this is a lot more money than it is where you or I live. There are lots of people who are desperate and want to take care of loved ones in both scenarios.

Also, there are shitheads who just don't care. I don't know which one this is.
