Never thought we'd see a first world politician get assassinated in today's day and age. That's some 1960s type sh*t.

Damn, RIP

Going to be interesting what is going to happen over there politically. I think his brother is the Minister of Defense. His brother was kind on the outside politically, but he might get some more support because of this. Abe was actually a great leader for Japan.

Where they getting guns in Japan?

Yakuza?

Homemade

 

[Busted_Toes]

I think he means actual first world leader, not just any ol politician...

 

[OnFleekTing]

Damn even when they ban guns
People still use some pipes and create their own 2 shot conventional pipe gun and do the same damage

RIP never thought we'd see the day a world leader could get clapped so easily after all the assassinations and failed assassinations in the US

Before I get quoted to death, in case yall didn’t know, Shinzo Abe was the equivalent of being the President in Japan. That’s like somebody shooting Donald Trump or George Bush. So no breh, that hasn’t happened in recent memory. We’re not talking about minor politicians. He was the Prime Minister of Japan.

He specifically said politician.

And Abe hasn’t been PM for a year or so now

Fair enough, your initial quote didn’t say that though.

Regardless of him not being PM anymore this is still insane. A former leader of a G7 nation being assassinated in 2022 is crazy!
