Former Japanese PM Abe Feared Dead After Shooting at Campaign Event

[Lionfish]

Could you imagine if it was an AR 15 with a clip of 30 instead of a homemade gun

Guano you gun expert. Imagine if that double-barreled shotgun had 100 steel balls in each barrel and there was a crowd at the scene. I am sure you see the point don't you, that nothing will ever stop someone who wants to kill. Thanks for bringing that fact to life.

Is it me or did Brandon say the name of his "close friend" backward.


President Joe Biden on Friday said he was "stunned, outraged and deeply saddened by the news that my friend Abe Shinzo, former Prime Minister of Japan, was shot and killed while campaigning."

Abe was a close ally to US Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. His relationship with Trump was especially notable given the Republican President's attempt to warm relations with North Korea, and the generally chilly reception he received by other world leaders.

Can we imagine wanting someone dead and going to any lengths to accomplish it? The terrorist event resulting in the greatest loss of human life in my state was carried out with a rented truck and fertilizer.

 

[Celticguy]

for one thing, he probably wouldn't have gotten close to Abe.......

dont appeasr to have SS over there.

 

[Guno צְבִי]

Much worse if it was an IED.

More people could/ would have been shot

 

[Guno צְבִי]

He died either way, my dude.

And how many around him would have eaten lead. It was a busy corner

 

[Mr.Badguy]

How could this possibly happen in the country with the strictest gun controls in the world? I was told all we need to do is take away all guns from citizens and everything would be fine and dandy.

Hey retard, IF ONLY we could be so lucky to only have one prominent shooting in recent history, and not even MASS at that.

In 2018 there were only -9- (not a typo, you read that single digit number correctly) deaths from guns in Japan. That's less than half the 19 children that were mowed down in Uvalde.

Impossible. Japan doesn't have gun crimes.

Wrong, IEDs are more deadly and kill indiscriminately.

Wrong, the assassin had only one target, the conservative PM.

Man, that was embarrassing.

Not really considering their relationship.

Abe was a close ally to US Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. His relationship with Trump was especially notable given the Republican President's attempt to warm relations with North Korea, and the generally chilly reception he received by other world leaders.

Trump eulogized Abe in a pair of posts to Truth Social Friday morning, calling his death "a tremendous blow to the wonderful people of Japan."

"Few people know what a great man and leader Shinzo Abe was, but history will teach them and be kind," Trump wrote. "He was a unifier like no other, but above all, he was a man who loved and cherished his magnificent country."

He could be deader

 

[ExpressLane]

And how many around him would have eaten lead. It was a busy corner

Or the shooter could have just fired once.

 

[ExpressLane]

He doesn't have to.

That homemade gun wouldn't be accurate or effective at any range over 25 yards.

 

[Geeko Sportivo]

Sad loss! I am shocked by his assassination.

He was a great national and world leader.

This old world is getting uglier and uglier.

That homemade gun wouldn't be accurate or effective at any range over 25 yards.

That's my point.

Wrong, the assassin had only one target, the conservative PM.

The bombing at the airport in Afghanistan killed 170 Afghans and 13 American soldiers .

 

[ExpressLane]

That's my point.

OK. If he had SS protection the shooter wouldn't have got that close.

 

[AProudLefty]

OK. If he had SS protection the shooter wouldn't have got that close.

This is the context.

He doesn't have to be close with an AR-15.

You could make it prettier by dying.
