Former Prime Minister of Japan got shot with a shotgun(update:died)

[Nero Christ]

This is wild especially considering how rare it is there, could honestly be just a lone guy

yea...this doesn't feel like something underworld related considering the type of heat it'd bring down

not to mention, screenshots of the suspect makes it seem like a lone wolf

shyt he might've been on them forums with white mass shooters

 

[Traveler]

RIP.

Better hope there are no Chinese or Korean connections.......

This is up there with the Japanese Prime Minister getting skewered by a assassin during a speech.

3D printed shotty insanity

 

[paperbag]

Isn’t this similar to what happened in Japan in 1960 and the country changed after that

Say more about this; are you referring to the rape of Nanking in WWII?

Yes. This is a good summary of his history of denying the atrocities at Nanjing.

Abe Ab..ay


He dead? Lots of RIP in the thread

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Not the GOAT

He's an ultraconservative right-wing Japanese Nationalist who has a history of denying Japan's WW2 atrocities. His grandfather was a major WW2 power figure who committed war crimes in China.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

His security team is awful

 

[Alix217]
