This is surprising news to wake up to.

I can't say that I'm vested enough in Japanese politics to really feel very strongly about it but it's always unfortunate when anyone is murdered, regardless of their notability.

Condolences to his family.

It feels like we are so fortunate in US with all these mass shootings and gun violence more politicians arent killed from it.

Like this situation here how close so many got to Manchin. He could have been shot at anytime here but nothing happened so we moved on from the lack of protection he got here.

Wasn't looking good last night as I went to bed, kind of expected to wake up to hearing he died. Pretty messed up way to go no matter the criticism he deserves, and it's always a little scary whenever this happens to a public figure.

I'm struck by just how slow Abe's security was to react. The guy walked up with the gun in his hand and fired the first shot out in the open. Then the second shot came 3 or 4 seconds later and it wasn't until after that shot he finally got tackled.

I think the first shot missed, too, so a quicker reaction by security could have saved Abe's life.

The suspect Yamagami worked in a manufacturing company from 2020 before he left in May 2022, so he also had knowledge of his improvised weapons from his time there aside from (likely) his time in the JMSDF.

He also said that he was after a supposed group because of its connection with Abe and shot him, being convinced...

Shit like this just doesn't happen in Japan, is why everyone's shocked. I wonder why? Nah, must be some inscrutable Japanese quality that the U.S. could NEVER replicate.

Can't bring myself to feel all that bad for the victim, but in a perfect world, nobody would be shot to death.

It's probably more just not proper decor for higher ups of a country to publicly shit on a former world leader's death, especially of their allies. When Trump dies I'd bet left wing world leaders would be generally respectful towards him as well. Putin would be interesting though given that he's currently waging war against an ally of many nations and threatening them.

even if it's a real gun, still definitely not like America's mass shooting problems.

the culprit only have one target, and he surrendered after killing his target.

What's to stop someone from making a fully automatic gun if there was an American gun ban and all guns were destroyed?

Yamagami said that he's after Abe for being in a mysterious group.

Meanwhile, police have seized the suspect's DIY guns. Seen those that are five and nine-barreled types.

@Spike The Devil

  • A researcher based in a university in Japan talked about Abe and his links to religious groups that are pro-nationalist. I'm not sure if it's safe to talk about it, most of it is stretching it, but some parts of the discussion into the shooting have some merit.
