They don’t have any diversity either...
It appears that closet gun-control freaks are rising to the surface. Time to skim the surface and rid the site of them...
What is going ON out there!!??
Why has the entire planet gone berserk??
The 2020’s are a very bad decade so far and it looks like we may not survive them.
Do you get a medal for being a cancel culture leader?
LOLOLOL
People who oppose America’s Second Amendment need to be cancelled. They serve no purpose for Conservatism or Liberty.
If I recall, the manifesto of this site says that is what we believe and anyone who opposes liberty is not welcome here.
People get “zotted” for opposition to our rights, do they not?
We are in a WAR for our survival as a free nation. Playing Mr. Nice Guys won’t cut it anymore.
You probably can’t say I’m more pro-2nd than possible, but I’ve seen zot party activists saying I need to go for saying that yes biden is president now, gun rights kinda suck in the USA, and other nonsense.
I’m hoping while JR is away the mice can play a bit.
You don’t sound very coherent to me
Either get on board or get left behind.
In war, one must lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Robert Todd Lincoln was not at the theater when his father was shot, but was at his bedside when he died. He was serving as Garfield's Secretary of War and was present when Garfield was assassinated in 1881 and was nearby at an exposition when McKinley was shot in 1901.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Police said Tetsuya shot Abe in the neck from around 10 feet away. Footage of the event appeared to show the shooting suspect standing behind Abe without any visible security around him.
A bulletproof vest doesn’t help when you are shot in the back.

Really BAD NEWS FOR THE WORLD! Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is dead. He was assassinated. His killer was captured and will hopefully be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Few people know what a great man and leader Shinzo Abe was, but history will teach them and be kind. He was a unifier like no other, but above all, he was a man who loved and cherished his magnificent country, Japan. Shinzo Abe will be greatly missed. There will never be another like him! President Donald J. Trump
Am copying two FReepers who are in JP so they can jump in.
There will certainly be questions and an investigation about the security posture of his security detail.
Talked with my stepdaughter earlier today (lives in JP) and she thinks this will shake Japanese society. She believes there will be collective shame and guilt that arguably the most influential political leader of JP in 40 years was killed in such a public fashion by a gun.
Regarding the shooter, she proffered that mental health counseling is still not looked at approvingly by older generations of Japanese. It just isn't talked about. She has been on two trains over the years where the train stopped for what was called a "mechanical issue". Later she found it was for a suicide jumper in front of the train.
More than a few people were wearing masks in JP before COVID-19.

Suspect in former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s assassination had military background, reports say
“The weapon used by Abe’s assailant made a noise that could be compared to an explosion, and white smoke rose into the air after it was discharged. A gunpowder-like smell could be detected afterward,” read a report Friday by the Kyodo News, which added that one of their journalists on-scene said the weapon appeared to have been held together with duct tape.
Following his arrest, police found possible explosives at Yamagami’s apartment in Nara, NHK also reported.
Police also they confiscated similar weapons and his personal computer.
