Re: Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Being Shot
Some far right French politician seems to think Hideo Kojima is the assassin and I can't stop fucking laughing.

Re: Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Being Shot
I thought the same thing, but I think the poor guy got misled by the sound of the first shot. It sounded like fireworks.

Re: Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Being Shot
I was actually surprised by the slow reaction of his protection detail. Had it been America, he would have looked like this homie. https://www.documentingreality.com/f...e-dead-233277/ |

Re: Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Being Shot
I was wondering about that myself also. After looking at the scene, he really seemed like a "soft target" in retrospect. Especially considering he was the longest running prime minister, you'd think it would be more difficult to pull that off. Even our former U.S. presidents have the option for the rest of their lives to keep a Secret Service detail if they want, and most do.

Re: Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Being Shot
Perp is a 41-year-old man identified as Tetsuya Yamagami. Few details were immediately available on Yamagami, but he was previously in the Japanese navy, known as the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF). Yamagami told investigators that he was “dissatisfied” with the former Prime Minister and intended to kill him. However, he also said that he “did not resent Abe’s political beliefs.” A report said he was responding calmly to questions. He said that he had plotted to kill Abe because he “believed rumours about the former leader’s connection to a certain organisation that police did not identify,”. Police said he used a handmade gun. They confiscated similar weapons and Yamagami’s personal computer after raiding his one-room apartment nearby. Yamagami did not seem politically active, quoting a source from his former company. He had quit his job at a manufacturing company in May for health reasons after working there since 2020. |
