Shinzo Abe Assassination

[PoisonedBun]

How many Chicago chimpouts would you trade for a head of state? Because it's not like 309 congresspeople are shot. Abe getting assassinated is like a former president getting got, or a SCOTUS justice, in terms of impact/status.

309 shootings =/= 309 deaths, for people who can't read

You could round it to 30k and I'd still trade 'em for my homie Abe

Imagen getting no trial because the gov doesn't want to waste money on your guilty ass

Even with the YGO jokes, it's pretty clear this guy was not a member of normal (Japanese) society, especially if he knew and had enough time to build a gun and make a plan to kill Abe.
He's definitely a NEET Hikkikkomori. The question is if he's a cultist, activist or just a garden variety lunatic like the Kyoani arsonist. I don't think he's a Yakuza.

Crazy fucking world.

Jesus, even the westerners who are against his values on Twitter trying to celebrate are at least keeping a lid on it somewhat.

U sure? The most violent yakuza gang in japan looks like a bunch of dorks

My money is on china being involved in this one - he's the best image quality i've seen of the gun

 

[CarlosDanger]

I read that Abe stopped breathing and heart stopped when he was airlifted to the hospital. Just seems right now they are getting everything in order before announcing his passing.

This Japanese news site claims the shooter was a former member of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force.

If that is an issued gun, I'll eat my hat.

With a weapon that looks like it was put together with craft glue and scraps? Sheesh.

 

[No0neKnows]

Based on this seems like the shooter was a former armed forces marine that's why he knew how to make a gun lol

Not that it would've made much difference, anyway.

Even if Japanese courts weren't ridiculously corrupt, the bastard was caught on live TV, and apprehended immediately.

He never stood a chance.

So there's now 2 narratives?
either we got a MacGyver plank gun or an actual gun?

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Was Shinzo Abe trying to run again for office or was he just campaiging on behalf of his party?

You don't need to be former armed forces to build a zip gun. You just have to be an autist with internet access and a Home Depot down the road.

Genji could have saved him

Rip hanzo abe!!!

They just don't want their people to know guns are absurdly easy to build with access to modern hardware stores.

 

[apolloday]

from a NYT reporter's twitter account. It seems Japanese media are reporting that he's ex- Maratime Self Defense Force, but it could be just hysterical misinformation that usually comes after this kind of thing. The source says he left in 2005. https://news.ntv.co.jp/category/politics/904a5e95eed94c8b9d10f4940a344dd4

 

[Tism the Return]

Maybe the gunman only obtained part of the shotgun through his contacts rather than the entire thing, unless the JSDF are so drunk in peace they are told to make their own guns and just wing it if badmen come knocking.

It was a small municipality event, small crowd. He wasn't even talking when he got shot, just giving the guy who was moral support.

He's not actively doing much besides supporting candidates and asking people to have babies.
