  1. No amount of our dubious technology can ever mask the fact that this is a planet unable to extricate itself from barbarity. And no! This is not simply the result of "human nature", but of regulation that gives cover for those who express this same barbarity but on a genocidal scale. Meanwhile the masses accept our disease as being "normal", hoping that what goes around never comes around to visit us.

  2. So sad! I'm not Japanese but have known him since his long-term service as the PM of Japan. He was a good man and his death is so sudden. I'm still in shock and sadden by this. I wish thing was diff. Since assassination by gun was never done, I think that is why security was a bit lacking and they let people stand so close up to the politician. I hope other criminals won't use this as an example to carry out other assassinations. You can disagree with people's politics without the need to kill anyone.

  3. Chinese and Korean citizens wildly celebrate the death of Prime Minister Abe. Celebration for the assassination, discount for the death at restaurants and coffee shops, treating the murderer as a hero… they're going too far. There are hundreds of evidences on Twitter and anyone can see them. I'm wondering why big media companies don't broadcast this.

  27. Homemade gun huh? So much for gun control.
    Inb4 Propaganda News deletes my comment lol.

  28. Wtf did they use a musket?

  29. "I take responsibility" for the assassination of Shinzo Abe, Nara police chief says. WOW, we would NEVER hear this in right wing terrorists USA, they would never apologize and take accountability and responsibility for anything unless it is stealing Democrats' credit.

  30. Japanese never knew higher education could be dangerous. This Japanese man builds an electric gun. High chemist skills and engineering skills. He's able to take down Abe.

  31. I bet the animal that shot him was a biden supporter.

  32. RIP fromJP๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต
    He was symbol of the democracy and like a papa of the nation for me, 16years old girl
