Japanese PM Abe Shinzo shot, showing no vital signs. Man in custody.

“The suspect reportedly told police that he was dissatisfied with former Prime Minister Abe and wanted to kill him“

Seems a good enough reason to me.
With any luck this could become the new normal.

Abe Lincoln and now Abe Shinzo.

Abe Froman must be a little nervous unless he's passed away.

Some footage as it happened. Pay attention at the 0:22 mark. Good sized boom there.

This here is the real reason THEY want your guns, images like these make THEM wet their panties.

I see a hanging in the near future in Japan. If the assassin is found guilty, he’ll get death by hanging.

It just shows that evil and disturbing people will find away around laws....

Here is another video that clearly show it. Look at his collar and listen between the first and second shotgun shots. It appears there is another shooter hitting him in between the two? My wife clued me into this from Japanese twitter. Almost like you can hear a suppressed firearm in between shots when you see the collar move.

Now that would not surprise me…. That sounds Japanese. Fall guy for the public story, but a hitter to make sure it happens….

The current PM is very pro-China, as most of the mainstream media in Japan is. A lot of their members of parliament (the Diet) are also pro China. My feeling is Abe wasn't. The wife is very active in monitoring Japanese twitter and there is a huge group there very mad about the Japanese pandering to China.

Not saying China is behind it as I have no proof. But if there was indeed their own "grassy knoll", then all bets are off.

Right now this is all very tinfoil hat territory. But politically the undercurrent is the pro China vs the anti China pro Japan constituencies.

I could see China doing that too... and the Cui Bono on this has a certain reek of bad Dim Sum.
