What made his handler think he could send his zombie off in the way and manner in which he was sent without thinking it was a fool’s errand to do so?
Again, who in their right mind would think that this was a plan that had any chance of succeeding?
There is only one conclusion…..
The shooter/handler knew that there would be no opposition and that they would be allowed to perform the mission without any interference.
