Shinzo Abe Assassination

[Skullwhalejelly]

Solid F for this man. He was pretty cool.

 

[Stoneheart]

Even if it reduces gun violence and suicides by 99%

they just go to the forest to kill themself, it changes nothing... also gun violence can only be fixed by deporting all black people to africa....

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

they will make the forced sexytime on nanking look like some romantic anime...

We've gotten a couple statements from some politician fellas.

Spoiler: Australian Prime Minister

Spoiler: Indian Prime Minister

Spoiler: American ambassador of Japan

Spoiler: British Prime Minister

Spoiler: New Zealand Prime Minister

Spoiler: American President

I am stunned, outraged, and deeply saddened by the news that my friend Abe Shinzo, former Prime Minister of Japan, was shot and killed while campaigning. This is a tragedy for Japan and for all who knew him. I had the privilege to work closely with Prime Minister Abe. As Vice President, I visited him in Tokyo and welcomed him to Washington. He was a champion of the Alliance between our nations and the friendship between our people. The longest serving Japanese Prime Minister, his vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific will endure. Above all, he cared deeply about the Japanese people and dedicated his life to their service. Even at the moment he was attacked, he was engaged in the work of democracy. While there are many details that we do not yet know, we know that violent attacks are never acceptable and that gun violence always leaves a deep scar on the communities that are affected by it. The United States stands with Japan in this moment of grief. I send my deepest condolences to his family.

Spoiler: German Chancellor

Spoiler: Russian President

“The hand of a criminal cut short the life of an outstanding statesman who headed the Japanese government for a long time and did a lot to develop good neighborly relations between our countries,” Putin wrote in a telegram of condolence addressed to Abe's family.

“We maintained regular contacts with Shinzo, in which his excellent personal and professional qualities were fully demonstrated. The bright memory of this wonderful man will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him.”

“I wish you and your family strength and courage in the face of this heavy, irreparable loss.”

Spoiler: Israeli Prime Minister

“On behalf of the government and people of Israel, I send my condolences to the Japanese people and their government on the tragic death of former prime minister Shinzo Abe,” Lapid said in a statement. “Abe was one of the most important leaders of modern Japan, and a true friend of Israel who brought about flourishing and prosperous relations between Israel and Japan.”

Spoiler: Ukrainian Prime Minister

"Horrible news of a brutal assassination of former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe. I am extending my deepest condolences to his family and the people of Japan at this difficult time. This heinous act of violence has no excuse,"

Spoiler: Trump

"Really BAD NEWS FOR THE WORLD!"

"Few people know what a great man and leader Shinzo Abe was, but history will teach them and be kind,"

"He was a unifier like no other, but above all, he was a man who loved and cherished his magnificent country, Japan. Shinzo Abe will be greatly missed. There will never be another like him!"

 

[Shining Wit]

I can’t help visualizing a scene straight from a Japanese dub when I read this.

What has Japan done to me…

It can't be helped

 

[Meiwaku]

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

I wouldn't expect anyone in Japan to know jack shit on how to respond to an active shooter situation because getting shot in Japan is about as rare as finding a sane tranny or getting your shit un-stollen in detroit. Like you basically won the lottery of misfortune to be the victim of gunshot in Japan and another misfortune to have to be the person to deal with an active shooter. Luckily he went easily.

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.

Fucking awful job on the part of the security team beyond the fact their boss got shot.

- No one (at least in that video) near Abe is looking behind him as hes giving a speech
- Everyone just stands dumbfounded after the first shot goes off
- Dude with the bullet proof suitcase doesnt deploy it properly and only gets in front of the shooter after Abe got shot
- Presumably another security agent guy whose seen in the background of the video body checks some random chick while rushing towards the sounds and also then instead of continuing to run he helps the chick he body checked

These dudes are never ever get a job doing security again after this.

I guess but Japan is not without a history of political assassination
View attachment 3470253
this was 1960. Historically, before that (first half of the 20 century) assassinations happened often enough that it was basically just a way to transfer power.

First off you're literally pulling out something from NINTEEN-SIXTY. To have actually witnessed that assassination you would have to be a Baby Boomer. That's fucking old dude and those same Baby Boomers grew up with their families telling them the horrors of WW2, those people heard some damn stories. Nevertheless a Mao Zedong toadie of a politician getting killed wouldn't be some big moment. The Japan Socialist Party was never in power and Asanuma had no chance becoming Prime Minister. Japan would have been insane to destroy their relationship with Cold War America that brought the nation into such prosperity.

No one gave a damn about Asanuma, Abe was a face of Japan for two decades. A former political leader getting murdered in broad day light is insane especially for a nation like Japan which is prided for its safety.

The only reason we know Asanuma is because his death was captured on film and it's crazy to see. He's the Japanese equivalent to Budd Dwyer.

 

[MsStealYaMan]

He’s definitely going to get the death penalty.

 

[Bluemonday]

He’s definitely going to get the death penalty.

Not only that, Japan is one of the countries that still hang people who get the death penalty.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

I’m confused

Arent political assassinations only effective while the person is in office?

Also, Japan clearly needs more gun control

It wouldn't surprise me if he was thinking "Did someone let the fireworks off early?" Or something go that effect. That slow turn of "wtf was that?" was kind of telling.

Even his security detail weren't sure. Probably thought there was no chance it was a gun until he collapsed.

Either way, that security team was lacking. Any kind of good security would have immedietly surrounded their charge after the first pop.

Also, that was a loud fucking bang too.

yup, you now need a permit to buy steel pipes.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

Japan should hire USA bangers and ex-vets to guard politicians. Big beefy niggas with bulletholes gonna know what’s up when some shifty pale Nigga holding a microwave like object in his coat be doing. Also they look in all directions.

Also, beefy ass niggas ain’t going to play three stooges after. They would instead all stomp out the assumed assassins and then also maybe put a little wiener in their butt? Either way, USA should market world wide political security.

I wouldn't wanna have my neck breathed-down on by this bitch either

Well at least you get to gawk at Komachi's boobies during the boat trip.

Tōkatsu Jigoku, the reviving hell, is the plane of hell reserved for those who commit the sin of killing. Those who kill without remorse go to this hell. Even the killing of lesser creatures such as mosquitoes, flies, or ants—unless repented—will cause a soul to go to this hell.

I have a habit of apologizing when I accidentally kill a lil' bug since I feel bad. Memories from a former stint in Jigoku?

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.

That looks like something you'd make with an Erector Set. Scary.

 

[IsaacShraeder]

Him being a navy vet makes the ultranationalist attack option look a bit more likely. Still, Abe was as close to the "Unit 73-what now?" crowd as a mainstream politician could get. I find it hard to imagine that any such group would despise him (or the policies he stood for) enough to actually go through with an assassination.
Probably just a schizo freakout gone violent in the same vein as Charles Guiteau or John Hinckley.

 

[DapperShark]

Imagine crying this much about a dead faggot Shabbas Goy who's sucked so much Jewish and American occupational dick.
The absolute state of you.

How do you even function irl you colossal faggot?

From my understanding Abe was still a powerful figure in the Liberal Democratic Party, which is the party that's been in power since 1955 when Japan was self governing again.

 

[JesusBuiltMyHotrod]

It was pretty funny seeing all the nationalists on Twatter and the live comments on Youtube news broadcasts saying "I bet it was a foreigner! Must he a foreigner!", then watching the cope when it turned out to be some loser チー牛 faggot Jap.

 

[Cavalier Cipolla]

OP you should add Byuu as the other option for who killed Shinzo Abe

Its kinda of insane how matter of fact this looks, like if it wasn't for the smoke you thought he was having a heart attack or something with how he gripped his torso. RIP.
