“Well, good for Magee for intentionally missing his target”
Yes, agreed. Perhaps his thoughts went something like this: wait a gosh darn minute, why the heck am I supposed to be kill one of my fellows on the whim of this embittered lesbian?
By today’s standards that pretty much makes him not only a stand-up, or perhaps I should say stand-down, guy, but also a freaking genius, at least compared to those who are running this country into the ground.
Maybe Magee didn’t go through with the plot because he realized he wasn’t being paid nearly enough.
