Quote:Tibus Heth, Executor of the Caldari State, has been shot by an unknown assailant at a Provist political rally in the major metropolis of Okushin on New Caldari Prime. The attack, which took place shortly after noon today, caused widespread panic among the assembled crowd of roughly 12,000, necessitating Provist interventionary measures that at last count have left three dead and approximately 200 injured.
Martial law has been declared in the greater Okushin area, with planetwide security measures coming into effect throughout New Caldari Prime. The Caldari Navy and armed forces are on high alert and have ordered reinforcements into every post in the neighboring systems. A defensive forward point has been established by the Caldari Navy off the shoulder of New Caldari Prime, reportedly numbering several capital and subcapital Navy vessels.
Three minutes into Heth's second speech of the day, shortly after a noontime break in the proceedings, a loud report was heard from somewhere to the left of center in the crowd. His body snapping back and sideways, Heth lost his footing and fell, with camera recordings of the incident displaying a small dappling of blood on the ground nearby. Provist security forces responded immediately, firing stun rounds into the crowd. It is unknown at this time whether they have had any success in apprehending the perpetrator, though a number of eyewitness reports indicate a confrontation later took place between Provists and an unidentified robed figure, who apparently dispatched over a dozen guards in armed and hand-to-hand combat before being overpowered and dragged away.
Heth was rushed into a medical shuttle and taken away by the Provist guard. No reports have as yet surfaced regarding his condition.
The Kimotoro Stock Exchange has closed for the rest of the day, while businesses and schools all over the State have likewise shut down early. Several dozen impromptu vigils have formed in the State's largest public areas, and broadcasts are awash with replays of the footage, as well as heated speculation on the nature of the attack.
Neither the Caldari Providence Directorate nor the Chief Executive Panel could be reached for comment.
...
Ishuk-Raata would like to wish Executor Heth a speedy recovery.
We have no further comment at this time. |

Speaking strictly personally, I'd like to wish him an early retirement.
But I'd rather not get into the inevitable political mess that will soon flood this thread, so I won't elaborate on my views. |

Nisaba Syndicate and myself wish the Executor a speedy recovery. Our trading operations in Jita 4-4 have been suspended to allow brokers and employees to attend vigils should they so choose.
The cowardice of the assassin is exceeded only by those sickening individuals verbally digging a grave for a man they have never met.

Whatever you think of Executor Heth's politics, cowardly assassination is not the way to oppose them.
I add my wishes for a speedy recovery to those already expressed and reserve my scorn for those who choose to use this horrific even as a soapbox for their personal politics.

Assassination attempts often provide an excellent opportunity for a good purging.
My dear Caldari friends should be expecting a tightening of the political screws in the coming weeks.
Ishukone especially.

You've taken the first step to try to see more than the picture that is painted for you. It's tragic for any head of state to have an assassination attempt made on them.
But as you suggest, something doesn't seem to add up. You would think anyone allowed even remotely close to the gatherings would have been checked for weapons before getting in proximity to the speech.
Of course there is the possible scenario that the assassination attempt was an elaborate plot by the Provist to further consolidate power. |

Yeah, it's not enough to just remove Heth from the scene in a swift and secure manner, they have to then beat hundreds of people senseless to be sure he's 'safe'. Because taking him behind the scenes with armed guards isn't safe enough, you have to beat up the bewildered crowd in hopes of finding the one man.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. What do provists know about democracy, any way? This is really all you can expect from a tyrant and his tyrannical regime. |

You appear to have a nasty cough. You should ask your clone contractor to search your dna for any genetic dispositions toward illness and have him replace those genes for you. Perhaps you can replace them with the genes that give you the balls to be a little more direct when trying to make an argument. |

Right, because an assassination attempt on the head of state of one of New Eden's four superpowers is remotely comparable to the destruction of a frontier city on the fringes of Federation space that no one in space ever heard about until a few weeks ago.
How many millions of cities exist in each sovereignty? And how many space settlements get destroyed everyday with no empire intervention?
Try again. |

There was a shooter. In the crowd. You don't let him get a second shot off. The coward was in a crowd of unarmed civilians when he took his shot and the Security Team's first priority HAS to be to prevent the shooter getting a second shot off.
Most of the injuries were caused by the firing of STUN rounds. I wouldn't be surprised if the deaths were caused by trampling or by adverse reactions to the Stun rounds too. As for Heth's supposed "Paranoia" and the total security that is said to have surrounded him, in the State Heth-haan is known for the risks he takes to keep himself accessible to his people. There were 12,000 people at the rally and he routinely gave such speeches in public.
Some of you are talking about things you're vastly ignorant of, just to hear the sound of your own voices. Remember that there are people reading who actually have a personal stake in this. |

Rubbish. I'm just pointing out the fact that the injury of one man has apparently taken precedence over the injuries of two-hundred and the death of three. |

Which apparently takes precedence over the outright deaths of several million, apparently because you 'have never heard of' them? Your hypocrisy is astounding. |

*sighing and taking a deep breath*
It also only took 1 person who's motivations for his actions are unknown at this time to set these actions into motion. In a worse case scenario you have a dead leader and an excuse for long term martial law and an even longer purge of those that might be thought not to be loyal to the state. |

How is Rilnais even bloody relevant to what has happened on New Caldari Prime?
Good grief.
My original point is that three people have died and two hundred people have been injured, yet Tibus Heth's life takes priority over the common citizen. Then Rilnais was brought up when the two incidents are not even remotely comparable. |

I shouldn't have to explain to you why the welfare of a Head of State is a higher priority than that of a common citizen. Stop trying to score cheap political points, Inhonores. |
