Former Japanese PM Abe shot

[King Silkbeard]

Attempted assasinaion of Shinzo Abe while giving a speech, election going on at the moment the campaigning has stopped, a Japanese man has been identified as the perpetrator, no new news on his condition. Former President Trump was the first to tweet about it and his sympathy for his good friend. Serious situation.

RTE ran three different pieces on this on Morning Ireland already today. Tragedy for the guy and his family, but an attempted assassination of an out of power politician on the far side of the world? Really?

 

[Jim Comic]

Hasta la vista, Abe

 

[Great-Bit-O-Stuff]

RIP

You appear to be rather blase about political assassinations???

 

[bluesball]

i wonder would you be saying the same if it was an attempted assassination of an out of power Jerry Adams

 

[Great-Bit-O-Stuff]

It wasn't attempted though. The guy died

 

[PussyinBoots]

Christ.
Thought ShinzoY was a good leader.

Home made gun--gun controls are very tight in Japan it is almost impossible to own a legally held gun---gun deaths are almost Zero there, surprising for such a nation with a Militaristic past.

Surprising perhaps. But in those days there were lots of political assassinations. They don’t want to go back to that.
