    If he's not dead he wasn't assassinated.

    There is a strong chance the title of the tread will be right in a few hours.

    Obviously they have a drug problem in Japan.

    It's amazing how they just stood there after the first shot missed. It wasn't like it was silent. Sounded like a cannon went off.

    Just awful.

    Sad. Looks like he had a chance to get away too.

    Things will be different in Japan now with VIP security amped up going forward

    Guns are outlawed there and they had something like 12 shootings yearly in their country versus 1000s in US

    Hence the gunman had to build his own weapon

    3D printers are going to change a lot of rules. If we're not prepared we're going to be shocked by how bad things can get.

    I would predict that the NRA will issue at least one call in our lifetimes for 3D printers to be banned.

    Japan has very strict policies on a lot of things and are ready to hang you if fuck up on drugs, guns, etc. which is what makes this particularly strange.

    Everything I’ve gathered is that Abe was universally liked (as much as one can be in the modern day political environment anywhere on this planet).
