oh wait Shinzo Abe wasn’t prime minister when he got shot? makes sense that the shooter would be able to get so close to him then. lol I thought the prime minister of Japan got killed.

I don't blame you for not knowing but Fumio Kishida has been PM of Japan since October 2021.

Abe received over 100 units of blood in transfusions over four hours as he hemorrhaged from a wound in the heart, said Hidetada Fukushima, the professor in charge of emergency medicine at Nara Medical University Hospital. He arrived at the hospital in cardiopulmonary arrest and was never revived.

Doctors gave Shinzo Abe over a record transfusion of 700 units of blood in a desperate attempt to save his life.

Shotguns are effective out to like 40 meters at least. Actual ones I mean, not the pipe-and-tape special
the second one must have really got his rear end, based on the cut at the end

The guy who killed him was in the navy, had nothing against his ideology, but decided to kill him because he was dissatisfied with his performance.
In other words Abe failed to create the new Japanese empire and was disposed of.

It sounds like he planned to kill Natsuo Yamaguchi, the leader of Komeito, but he wasn’t there so he did Abe instead

They (the soka gakkai) are a sort of cult-like and sectarian group, the mainstream political culture historically was quite hostile to them. Like if the Mormons had their own political party. Not that objectionable, but possibly the guy was some sort of fanatic opposed to them

So I don't know the detail of the shooter.

But just looking from the big picture, Abe has been turning himself into a harder and harder right wing figure head in Japanese politic the last 10 years, both as PM and after stepping down. He is like a big anchor that tie the giant LDP boat to the right side. With him gone the LDP boat has more freedom to reorient itself in the new ocean current post Ukraine war reshuffle.

Also keep in mind that the whole reason he let his butler Suga-man to take the PM role roll off him is that Suga-man can keep the politic in the same direction but take all the Olympic 2020 and Covid blame for him. Now think about it, if he wasn't thinking about shooting for the PM role a third time, why would he care about not taking the political poo poo stain?

That's my conspiracy of today. :tinfoil:
