Shinzo Abe Assassination

[CharlesBarkley]

But honestly, would not be surprised if the commie fucks were behind it

Would be interesting. Hopefully get a motive here soon.

If it is commies, gonna be neat how Japan reacts this time. For people saying it’s China, it ain’t, lol.

Curious about if and how Japan would try to prevent this from happening again legislatively.
Inb4 japan restricts steel pipe to licensed individuals.

Jokes aside, I’m curious how this guy got his hands on ammo like that in Japan. The makeshift gun I understand, but the access to ammo makes me think he’s got some interesting connections.

From the video the gun puts out a pretty big puff of smoke so it's thought that it's a blackpowder gun, which makes sense as it uses an electronic triggering mechanism.

So most likely it's a muzzle loader and he got black powder from fireworks, which are available in Japan, then put in shot and a wad.

What's popular in games and TV isn't the same as what's real.

Wait, so cute combat android maid catgirls running through the streets with a toast in their mouth while yelling that they're late for school are not real?

Some

Very much so. Someone did a rather simple diagram of this thing's layout:

Electrical ignition obviates the need for percussion primers or a flintlock mechanism. Here's a proper example of the concept:

Damn, even in creating makeshift guns the japanese gotta do inovating things.

I wonder how this event will effect the incoming election. Cause if I recall they do a election next week?

It's not a gun issue.
This is a world wide polarization of politics issue. You could outlaw everything but rice crackers and someone would fashion a weapon out of them, if they so wanted. It wouldn't matter. The two minutes of hate have started.

The nip govt have a habit of ramming through policies targeting one specific thing to make it look like they are doing something and justify their massively inflated wages to the public.

For the sarin gas attacks, they banned public trash cans, and more recently they added very ambiguously worded 'anti cyberbullying' law. I imagine they'll take a look at this guys fucking blunderbuss and choose which parts of it to ban, since clearly banning things work as we've just seen.

F. Unironically one of the most adequate politicians of our time. Was.

Also quite surprised no zelenskybros blaming Russia on this. Weird.

I'm sure they'll do something stupid but the gun was made from a wood plank, battery, pipe, and most likely powder scavenged from fireworks. Ya can't stop the signal.

Also shoutout to the Luty Submachinegun, full auto with no factory gun parts and buildable by anyone with time and a hacksaw.

Best (you know, relatively speaking) angle so far:

This is pretty surreal. Literally everyone from Abe, the bystanders next to him, and even his own security detail just stand there utterly dumbfounded and shocked after that first shot. You can almost hear everyone thinking "the fuck was that?" after he fires off that first blast. I can't help but wonder if he would've survived if he hadn't turned around and taken the shotgun pellets broadside like that. I won't shit on Abe for not hitting the deck or running for it after the first shot, but I absolutely will shit on his security for their reaction time there; I suspect everyone in Japan and around the world will do the same.

Different image with the gun in his hands.

Thank god the suspect and body guards were wearing masks. Someone could’ve gotten hurt.

First of all, we are way more anti-korean than we are anti-chinaman. Although that being said Koreans sneed more about Japs than vice versa. Call Takeshima it's actual name instead of "Dokdo" and REEEEEE ensues. The level of Koreasneed has never died down to the extent that I have met koreans irl in an unrelated country like America and their first reaction when finding out eachothers ethnicities was "oh god please no racism".

I'm waiting for the Japaanese nationalist groups to blame Koreans, somehow. Like how every American crime is "the jews" or "glowies," so is everything "the Koreans" in Japan.

If this mf comes out any other nationality than Japanese that country is done for.



Japan loves stability and thus autocracy tends to happen, but we will rebel if it's nonce. Just not Chinaman level rebel.

However, organized crime is on a really steep decline. Yakuza peaked in the 80s. It's not really good to theorize like this with no proof to impressionable foreigners. What's popular in games and TV isn't the same as what's real.

Japan's relationship with Korea, especially before and during WWII is extremely interesting. I read a book at our base's library a long time ago that covered Japan's shaping of the Korean people. Making them think they are descended from Gods of the mountain and weird shit like that. A belief that the North Koreans have warped and kept for cultural pride. Those in South Korea who want to rejoin their Northern brothers often have a similar passed down mentality to "We Koreans are a superior people, we shouldn't fight with the North, we must unify as one Korea." Really interesting stuff as a lot of it boils down to 20th century Nippon psy-op experiments.

...after several hours IN HOSPITAL.

Null is turning Br*t*sh I really think so

They killed /our guy/

Would be interesting. Hopefully get a motive here soon.

安倍晋三元首相が奈良市内で参院選の応援演説中に銃撃された事件で、殺人未遂容疑で現行犯逮捕された山上徹也容疑者（41）＝奈良市大宮町3＝が容疑を認めていることが捜査関係者への取材で明らかになった。特定の宗教団体幹部の名前を挙げ、「この幹部を狙うつもりだった」という趣旨の不自然な供述をしていることも判明。この幹部は現場にはいなかったとされ、奈良県警は事件に至った詳しい経緯を調べている.

tl;dr English translation:
Official motive release from Japan according to suspect. The statement of said man Tetsuya Yamagami age 41 was "aiming for a religious group executive" and not Abe. However, said dude wasn't at this meeting that was for a senate approval.

That pause after the first shot...

Also what the fuck kind of security detail is this? No one was fuckin watching what was going on in that giant space behind him? The assassin just walked right up and took the shot!

 

[Glowie]

Who's gonna deploy the first troops? China doesn't want war, NATO doesn't want war, Russia is too busy fighting their own war. I ain't dying for a country that mass-produces yaoi and lolicon hentai on the daily, I'd sooner swear loyalty to MOSSAD

I'd like to add China is ill prepared for war, their economy is at weakest due to constant lockdown due to Xi's zero COVID policy, appointing military puppets as politicians, energy rationing, closed factories, pampered single child families. China has mandatory military service, PLA is corrupt to the core.

PLA conscripts lack combat experience, which is why Indian Army patrolling China-India beat fresh conscripts in brawls in mountain ranges and end up winning.

NATO is financially exhausted and is busy reeling Turkey and add Sweden and Finland to NATO. Russia is rattling sabers. Single fuck up could trigger WW 3.

In case anyone didn't know there is Russian island Sakhalin North of Hokkaido.

NO-ONE wants fallout levels of mutually assured destruction that comes out of it even if all parties could afford anything in global recession. Military industrial complex is expensive

Man, imagine getting assassinated because the guy the assassin actually wanted to kill wasn't there and he just decided rather than wait and get his target another day, might as well kill just anyone.

Edit: I realize the ammo was probably lead balls or something, oops..

I am no gun expert but judging by the clouds of smoke that was black powder. I bet he made it himself considering how autistic nips are and how strict gun laws are over there.

This contradicts previous alleged statements that he was targeting Abe specifically.
