BREAKING: Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe attacked. Possible assassination attempt

a reply to: Nothin

Time flies like an arrow, he was 67.

THIS just GOES to PROVE.... Gun laws, do not work..

He had some type of hand-made shotgun.

If there is such a will, people will find a way.

I do not believe it was a Chines hit, I think they would
of gave him a proper hand gun at the least..

Why are these people not screened? Any metal detector would of picked that
barrel up, and he never would of been feet away from ABE..

The information being released about the assassin is nonsensical.

I suspect they don't want to release any information that could lead to war with China.

The biggest beneficiary of the assassination of Shinzo Abe is the CCP.

The police today went to the killers apartment. What they found out most likely will be reported tomorrow on the morning news. As of now, all that has been said is his occupation was unknown. They most likely ask all news media not to mention his place of employment yet due to the anger at the company if he was employed there.

When viewed in this sequence : there seems to have been some loud-action towards the left side, as many on the sidewalk are looking that way, instead of at the arrest in the street.

I'm guessing they're looking in Abe's direction.

Everyone is wearing a mask. How convenient ...

It's Japan. Masks have been fairly commonplace since at least SARS.

Perhaps there is a little elbow room between " commonplace " ,
and everyone in those crime-scene images being masked ?

Maybe not : but still potentially ' convenient ' .

The method used (shotgun) gives a clue who was behind this.

If it was old guard from Japan, a sword would have been used as the weapon.

When was the last time a shotgun was used to assassinate a world leader?

Strange message given.

I don't have answers, only questions.

A second rate doctor can sew a hole shut , but not the best surgeon in the world can stitch hamburger back together.

Rule of thumb for shotgun is shot spreads 1 inch (2.5 cm) for every yard (1 M) of range

This is for commercial loads Figure the homemade load used here would spread wider and more erratically when fired

I can guarantee you that at a distance of around 3 or 4 metres (10 or 13 feet), a sawed off shotgun can easily kill a man, as I saw that happen some years ago. He was dead before the ambulance arrived, and it took around 5 minutes.

I wonder why he didnt use the 9 barrel one.

Some U.S. leaders are awake and attuned...

Abe "was a true friend of mine and, much more importantly, America," Trump wrote. "This is a tremendous blow to the wonderful people of Japan, who loved and admired him so much. We are all praying for Shinzo and his beautiful family!

Shinzo Abe will be honored with a "State Funeral" this Fall.

I wonder which American dignitaries will attend? There's little doubt that his friend, former President Donald Trump will be there.

Former Prime Minister Abe was granted post-death "Nobility" on July 11th: www.foxnews.com...
