A WOMAN carrying leaflets denouncing Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi stabbed herself in the neck and stomach today outside his office as he kicked off his re-election campaign, reports said.
The woman in her 50s drove her car to Mr Koizumi's official residence and when police stopped her, she stabbed herself with a fruit knife, Fuji TV said. Jiji Press said the woman, who was alone in the car, possessed a number of leaflets denouncing the Koizumi Government. Her name was not disclosed in the media and police would not comment.
News reports said the woman was in critical condition.
Mr Koizumi was away from his office at the time as he was holding a rally for the official start of campaigning for the September 11 general elections. .
Mr Koizumi, Japan's longest serving premier in two decades, enjoys a lead in polls leading up to the snap election, in which he has made breaking up the huge post office his signature issue.
Perhaps Cindy Sheehan could try the same thing...
It's time to outlaw fruit knives.
IBF!
She sure showed him.
Isn't she supposed to use a short sword to stick herself in the gut, then draw it up her abdomen to disembowel herself without uttering a sound?
Jeez, what's the world coming to?
Judean People's Front Crack Suicide Squad!
Nobody make a move or I'll kill the Sheriff.
I think women are just supposed to slit their throats.
One can only hope. That b!tch will live alone in a trailer for the rest of her life. Unless Bill, Jesse, Al, and The Beast work on a book for her. In the end, she will rot in hell for what she did to her son. She was not a "Mom." She was a whore to her family and her country. If she were run over by a bus, I wouldn't give a rat's pertuse.
Hara-kiri.
And I don't think this was ritualized suicide, just a wackjob trying to make a statement.
Oh, sorry.
I guess I haven't watched enough foreign movies.
I yield to your expertise.
You DO know that line is at point where he's holding the gun to his OWN head.
That's OK though, it's sometimes difficult to find the right image to match the dialog on short notice. Nice try however. Just didn't want anyone to get the wrong message.
(I think you didn't have the exact quote either, but I understand that part)
Yeah I know that, couldn't find any image of him holding the gun on himself.
My expertease is limited to watching "Madam Butterfly."
I'm a police officer in a part of town with a street named after ML King Jr.. I hear that word a lot but I never use it. So yes, I changed the quote just a little bit.
Yeah, and who is going to distribute all those leaflets in her car now?
Good for your self-control.
Otherwise, the Admin Mods woulda zotted you, and you'd have lost your voice on FR.
(the world's getting way too PC for me).
I'm glad I don't have to put up with BS you have to.
I just have to "be nice" to my clients while I'm on site, then vent as much as I want later (as long as I'm not in MA or in a liberal environment, LOL, like NEVER).
I've heard the butterfly name, is that a Japonese movie?
