Why doesn't Azazel possess Hobbes? Later in the movie we learn that the demon can possess anyone when it is outside a host.
Why did the teacher have a gun with blank bullets?
Because he wanted to play with him, have some fun. Thousand of years old, he gets bored.
shareWhen they translates Reese's Syrian Aramaic, it says something to the effect "even when I can get inside you I won't"... and goes into detail about wanting to torture him. If this wasn't the case he would have entered Hobbes at the execution.
The blank bullets and gun were pre-set up by Azazel, so it makes Hobbes look worse for having shot him.
Better yet, why didn't Hobbes just shot to wound? Disarming the teacher? Kick the gun away and problem solved.
And if it wasn't supposed to be a suicide by cop, then why the blanks in the teacher's gun? If I was going to do suicide by cop I'd put blanks (or nothing) in the gun to ensure I wouldn't hurt the cop and just have him/her shoot me. Blanks in the gun make it look more like suicide by cop, not less.
Cops don't shoot to wound. Cops are trained to kill (lethal force) when they pull out their gun.

"Kill one man, you're a murderer, kill a million, a king. Kill them all, a God."
The problem is he most likely thought he was killing Azazel, which would make sense as to why he shoots him to kill. If not, then the paramedic or next guy to touch him, Azazel could just transfer. Of course then the girl comes up afterwards and basically spoils that theory for him.
