[Japan Times] former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe assassinated

Too many doors in Japan

 

Man 2022 is getting crazier and crazier and making 2020 look pretty pedestrian at this rate.

 

Japan needs better gun control

 

Absolutely wild. This is a country with few guns and little political instability.

My guess is its an ultra-nationalist or North Korean

 

Stay classy lol.

Also pretty telling that its nuts for a shooting in Japan to occur when we had a congresswoman shot in Arizona and it was considered the price of freedom or whatever.

That said, Im not giving mine up first lol. Better tried by 12 than carried by 6

 

That is pretty wild
Crime is a thing in Japan but you rarely ever hear of actual shootings

 

That and most Japanese politics is coalition bickering between people for cabinets. Abe was "radical" by Japanese standards but pretty tame compared to everywhere else.

Hence, I think its a North Korean operative or a mentally ill ultra nationalist from their fringe far right

 

Blame it on final fantasy x

 

We'll see. Seems they caught the guy
Abe and the LDP moved the country towards that far right tbh but yea maybe

 

oh by Japanese standards, yes. But a lot of his more radical stuff like allowing the SDF to deploy didnt happen. Most of his "radical" policies were economically

 

It is crazy how little you hear about the Japanese right in the west.

I get the language barrier and the fact that japan is great at projecting only the "cool japan" thing but those are some real wild boys in the Japanese right

 

Most of the world has a serious far right issue Theres Italian soccer clubs who throw bananas on the field and wave swatstika flags.

Most Japanese people are convinced the war crimes they committed were a lie

 

When people talk abour "lets end globalism" lets make the US isolationisy...

the amount of wars that would vreak out good god

the US has cobbled together countries that hate each other into peaceful trade.

Were not perfect but abseence a Pax Americana would be mass genocide

 

ex sdf
bet it was some far right nut

 

Nothing is impossible anywhere on this earth, but the fact that it's so rare is the fruit of their gun/political culture.

 

Condolences...

 

Looks to be a homamade gun and only single shot
