How do you always find the best and most revealing photos?
I envy your skills.
Interesting.
Very sad news, yes especially for the people of Japan. Abe seemed to be a good guy. I remember the meetings between President Trump and Shinzo Abe when he was Prime Minister. The two genuinely seemed to really like each other.
To each their own. I took it as laziness ("Deep States!") and unwillingness to wait for more information to come out.
Removing the cardboard casing and taping the igniter to the side of the propellant block gets you a four-foot ball of brilliant magenta flame that lasts 2-3 seconds and generates a pungent cloud of sulfurous smoke.
FABULOUS for disrupting a sophomore high school biology class.
Placement back among the lab tables away from student desks is crucial, and timing is essential to achieving the maximum number of observers at the maximum safe observing distance.
I think that most big time criminals “suicide” in jail.
I do know, like many Asian countries, being locked up is not a easy life.
“Did Xi order the hit?”
I could believe it.
Twitter.
Image unfortunately will have to be removed.
My (conspiracy) take on this is an NK hit, ordered by the PRC.
Of course, it have been a white supremacist/s
I guess it's because i want photos to show the story and have interest. So I do work at “seeing” what would do this best...and the most truthful. But I've done it for so long I have a system of where I want to go for photos and that's numerous sources.
I don't always get it right and Freepers are quick to point this out for me, which I appreciate. But I do try hard.....and many here have left messages how much they appreciate the photos. BTW - When I'm on a roll I don't stop to answer posts as I want to get photos up asap.
I’m not sure the gunman believed he’d get the shots in that he did. .... he p*ssed his pants which is clear in some of the photos. But I have no doubt he planned this for some time.
As for security - no matter how they react or respond there are always going to be questions. (Heck Reagan and Kennedy both were shot.) This guy went for the head area so I think he assumed in advance Abe would have body protection.
There was obviously a gap in security and Japanese special force experts are saying as such. Not letting suspicious people wander that close to the scene without questioning is pretty much an ironclad rule. Just like so called security details stand around yelling for ambulances and medical professionals several minutes afterwards while trying to lift the body themselves.
He didn’t appear to be a “suspicious” individual given others who were also standing around. Rather he looked like just another bystander among those behind Abe.
You just never know as they all walk among us every day....and with our border invasion now you can bet we won’t be able to tell which ones are going to act ciminally. In their cultures it’s often “normal” to take, rob, steal and rape.

You don’t let anyone with a bag or backpack that close to the prime minister.
A lot can be conjured up AFTER the fact. I expect there will be messages, signals, beacons, flares, etc that will be touted as proof positive. I fully expect the US conspiracy kookery will get in on this act - it's more page clicks to their Internet presence.
Before the incident happened - now that's a bird of a different feather. Let's see some verified info that people identified BEFORE Abe was killed.
Not accurate.
Few firearms and only available to the police, wealthy, and criminals.
This murder was done using a home made version combining very old tech with modern.
Muzzle loading shotgun with electric triggers.
Reminds of some of the weapons used to overthrow Nicolae Ceaușescu.
This isn’t random. The ones that pay attention to things that happen aren’t the kooks. The kooks are the people that keep their eyes closed because truth scares them. If you can’t see the war going on for control of the fate of mankind, you’re blind.
A lot of young crazy guys, myself included, make big firecrackers.
We would take a thick cardboard tube, drill two small holes in it, pass a bare wire through the holes, put some gunpowder in from a bunch of smaller fireworks (tediously breaking them in half and spilling out the gunpowder) bondo both ends and the wire holes, lay out a bunch of wire, hook to the bare wires with alligator clips, then (AND ONLY THEN) go to the other end of the wire and use the battery.
I don’t think I am giving away any state secrets here. It safely produced a satisfying bang bigger than we were accustomed to.
