Shinzo Abe Assassination

[FAQnews Correspondent]

How scared must they be to make that trending? That joke is already old enough to go to middle school.

Scared enough of Hillary clinton sending assassins after them.

Don’t worry guys, retards are already turning this into a gun control thing

I think someone mentioned earlier ITT that Japan doesn’t really give scheduled execution dates.

This is THE most based feature of the Japanese death penalty: you don't get to know when the hangman will come for you. You go to bed every night wondering if the morning you wake up to will be your very last. It's an extra element of capital punishment that I REALLY wish could be applied to the US system.

Try taking that to the Supreme Court. I’d just push for more methods other than lethal injection.

I’m kind of torn on the Japanese method to be honest.

That's true, but I was under the impression that they don't fuck around when they want someone dead. I was thinking that they'd want to dispatch this guy ASAP to discourage anyone else from getting any funny ideas.

I only remember one execution happening while I lived there years ago, and the only "update" they gave was "Tanaka (whatever the hell his last name was, I forget) was executed today for blah blah blah. On to the weather!"

Thats EXACTLY what US news should of done/should've been doing decades ago

Why are you guys pretending like the Japs aren't subhumans and deserve our sympathy? These soulless slant eyed bastards tortured my grandfather for 3 years, fuck em and fuck their gynecomastia man tits ex prime minister.

I'm glad they tortured your grandfather for three years.

This is about the fake Shinzo Abe tweet saying he had information that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton...

They paid reparations out the ass too. One guy I knew of ended up with a $4,000 monthly check directly from the Japanese treasury for 45 years.

I lean toward him using slugs, if he used shot I would expect to see a more grisly wound on Abe, in the photos only a bit of blood is visible. The lethality also suggests a slug. Homemade, home-packed shot has more variables that can go wrong and result in projectiles with too little energy to do much damage. If Yamakami was able to find or make lead balls of a diameter close to the bore's that would be his best chance to do lethal damage.

The lethality here seems to have been because one projectile happened to take a very unlucky bounce from the clavical area into the heart. Given that he had at least two wounds, and did not react at all to the first shot (which may have missed), I think it's more likely that he was hit by shot rather than two slugs. Anything is possible with terminal ballistics, though.

Oh lord, the amount of idiots that make little kids go through active shooter drills at school.

"active shooter drills" as currently implemented are literally useless in the context of little kids. They are only useful in letting adults pretend that they're doing something. If they are as traumatic as pearl-clutchers claim, they should stop running them. Having kids duck against a wall inside a classroom is not saving lives. Either the guy doesn't come in or he does- and if he does, it's game over. Having the teachers yeet the kids out a window would probably be a better practice than that.

Oh jeez, those body guards could have used those "shooter drills" training.

I wonder if this shooter kind of expected to be stopped after the first shot instead of being left alone to get closer and line up the second, presumably fatal one.

A successful assassination isn’t one where the target dies, it’s one where the target dies and the perp gets away completely.

how is the success metric of an assassination not whether or not the target dies?

Just going up to someone and managing to kill them isn’t that difficult.

Did they say why the guy did it yet?

Is he a crazy Nationalist or is he lashing out at Abe because he told him to have sex?

Apparently the guy shot Abe because he was affiliated with a church that fucked his mother up, no idea if that's credible though, i did minimum research

"Good night, Tetsuya. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

I’ve heard the further you get from Tokyo, the more basic the technology becomes.

Because everyone told their Sam Hyde joke(s) already.

I think someone mentioned earlier ITT that Japan doesn’t really give scheduled execution dates.

The tech remains its the buildings that get low-fi. Lotta corrugated iron and wood the further away from the big towns you get. I understand the reasoning behind it again its earthquakes, if your house falls on you, your more likely to survive. Was still odd seeing nice expensive cars in the drives of homes that outwardly looked like shanty towns. But as someone else said anime lies. If you want a bit of fiction that correctly shows you what backwater towns in Japan is like I'd say the original Shenmue nails it.

But yeah if you ever visit that country go to the backwaters its far more interesting than Tokyo.

There's a lot of people saying this is proof gun control works because you can't carry out a mass shooting with a pipe shotgun. It shows your ignorance about the homemade gun market, as a pipe shotgun is the absolute simplest means to make a gun. So simple a caveman could do it as the designs are hundreds of years old. You're partially right in that it would be tough to carry out a larger shooting with a single shot weapon, but the vast majority of modern homemade firearms are more than capable of holding their own in a gunfight.

There's a number of designs that came out of Europe in the 60s and 70s where you can make fairly decent magazine fed submachine guns.

Once you introduce a 3d printer, you're getting into stuff that are as good as some manufactured guns. So much so that the revolution in Myanmar armed their soldiers with homemade FGC-9s. You have the option of building this without using a single part that is used on normal firearms.

A slightly newer creation is the ARK.

If you have access to some unregulated gun parts, there's a ton of hybrid models that function close to flawlessly. I came very close to replacing my home defense rifle (also homemade and unserialized) with one of these.

I'm a beta tester for a well known 3d printed gun designer. The 3D2A community isn't a bunch of edge lords and "Anarchist Cookbook" inspired kids. There's a lot of engineers and decades of combined experience in the firearms manufacturing industry spread out among the top guys. The organization I help out with has received a few offers from major gun makers to facilitate mass production of a few of the designs. A bunch of these guys have ambitions of being a real firearms manufacturer and it's proving to be a new breakthrough way of getting into the industry without having to financially ruin yourself over factory tooling.

Yes, if you want to assassinate someone and only need a couple shots to do it, you can go to home depot or buy a cheap 3d printer. The shooter in this instance was planning for that. If he wanted to carry out a mass shooting, he could have made any of another dozen or so designs that would have filled the role, and considering nobody ran or hit the ground when shots were fired, he probably could have succeeded. There's also a totally separate DIY community that makes cased ammunition. I don't bother with it because I'm an American and I have access to everything I need already.

>almost as if the gun control laws work

What? How the fuck do you come to that conclusion? If anything, it's proof that gun control laws don't work, since people who want guns to do bad things will just find a way to get them anyway. Especially in the Internet Age, where the knowledge to create guns can be found with a simple Google Search. Literally all one needs to do is find a suitably-sized pipe that can strike some contained powder to accelerate a projectile to lethal velocities.

And frankly, given how close this asshole was to Abe at the time, he probably didn't need to go through with building his own gun. He could just-as-easily had a sharp blade and bum-rushed him Otoya Yamaguchi-style, so the gun control comparison is completely moot.
