The democrazies down at the DNC are the only ones I know who continue going after politicians after they’ve left office.

Japan has a growing problem- of a large number of aging unmarried males, in many cases jobless and very frustrated. The killer perfectly fit that demographic.

Guess we shall see. Not sure what caused that demographic, but the birth rate for most countries has been falling for a long time. China was the worst because of the forced limit.

The #ComDem’s routinely practice punishment of their opposition.

They are bred in hate. It’s in their mother’s milk. They die breathing it.

Look, I never viewed the video. And the only reason I posted this article was the length of detail surrounding it.

I am interested in why anyone would do this. I know it is because of hate. But I do not pretend to understand Japanese culture and what would drive this.

If you don’t like it. Don’t read it and just don’t comment.

You’d think he would have better security. Especially when the first shot seemed to miss.

If I don't read it, how shall I know if I like it or not?

just don’t comment.

You seem to be a humorless fascist.

Get bent, fascist.

By the way, my point was that this happened yesterday and has been posted a dozen times.

I'm sorry if that bothers you, but not really.

My stepdaughter knows someone from her elementary school days like this - a male that suffers from hikikomori.

They eschew family, friends, etc. Very isolated.

I searched for the assassin’s name. It came up 2 times on the search.

I saw nothing listed directly from Japan. End Trans.

What was the killer’s connection to the Chinese Communist Party?

In Japan the politicians routinely mingle with the rest of the population. Politicians used to do that in the US. Example: JFK when he was running for President in 1960 standing on a chair talking to West VA voters without security.

There should be a warning in this event to all our own gungrabbing whiner types. Taking away legitimate firearms does not protect dumbaxxes from someone who is really mad at them. There are eleventy bazillion ways to make a barrel, rig a cartridge, make a propellant, and fire it. It doesn’t take a genius Kazinski type to get it done. The gun grabbing crowd needs to be polite. That’s about what Sam Colt said.

“ What was the killer’s connection to the Chinese Communist Party?”

We will know in due course. There used to be a lot of anger in Beijing every time Abe visited the Yasukuni shrine. Plus he was strongly advocating supporting Taiwan in a war with China.
