Agreed that the MO is consistent with it.
The motivation, though, may be political. It's pretty obvious that the victim was a Republican in a city, county, state, and country all ruled by the 'Rats and their law enforcement apparatus. Remember that organized crime and the Democratic Party have had a close and continuous relationship in some predominantly 'Rat geographical areas for decades, if not, in some instances, a century or more.
BTW, it may or may not be relevant, but Joe Biden's son is the Delaware Attorney General.
