Former PM and still major power holder in the conservative wing of japanese government Shinzo Abe appears to have been assassinated just minutes ago
Reports from the scene are that he was giving a speech in Nara City when an assailant ran up behind him and shot him with a shotgun to the chest at close range, and was taken to the hospital with no vital signs
News is still breaking in real time

Its hard to overstate how seismic this will be for japan, Shinzo Abe was still probably the most influential politician

it's been too long since we've seen a good ol' fashioned assassination, not gonna lie

may have been a homemade zip gun shotgun;




Still no official declaration that Abe is dead, but reports are he was at the hospital in pulmonary arrest with no vitals, pending a doctor's declaration
Suspect was arrested at the scene, as pictured, is a 41 year old man
identified as tetsuya yamagami, 4chan digging up his entire life history atm



also explains the large puffs of smoke when he fired, could have been black powder or something.

Fucking cocksucking Chinese piece of shit. This is war.

tetsuya yamagami is definitely a chinese code name
probably some lost generation weakling who thought Shinzo was to blame for him not getting a degree in engineering, science, math, or law

I don't know much about Abe but Japan has been going down the shitter for a while now. Still going down the dark path of bending over to US imperialism

It's akin to "Carlos Danger" or "Pierre Delecto." His real name is probably Dong Fung or some other chinaman name.
