This is really interesting! I am really intrigued by these specifics of this assasination. I agree with you that when I think of an assassin, I think of a person with no feelings, no heart, and not really caring about their own life. However, the fact that these assassins held off because there was a crowd of school children is interesting. I really wish that no one would ever murder anyone, but hey, this is a fallen world and the chances of that are basically zero... I would love to think that these men did not shoot Villa at this specific time out of the goodness of their heart, but it is kind of hard to believe that they really care about others when they are trying to murder someone. However, this story does lead one to believe that these assassins did take the children into account and did have some kind heart and caring feelings although their acts may prove otherwise. But maybe there was a risk that the assassins saw with the children, not necessarily because they cared about the children, but maybe like if they shot Villa in front of the children, then maybe the word would spread quicker and there was a higher chance that they would be caught (if they actually cared about that). Maybe... It is so hard for me to believe that murderers actually care, but that is just me. Again, as Gabrielle and Caitlin said, we will never know the true motives unfortunately, but thank you for the intriguing story!
