Fmr Japanese PM Shinzo Abe shot

[ChampRevesby]

The weapon looks homemade. Still have to wonder why the assassin was able to do the dirty deed.
Motive will be interesting. Political? Notoriety? Paid hit? Mentally ill?

Just because I suppose.

The neocon's ideology of picking fights wherever they can be found does at times leave them vulnerable to reprisals.

Very saddening, Japan would be gutted and many around the world.

These occur every few years (e.g. Haiti recently) but I think the last time such a prominent political leader (incumbent or recent) on the global stage was assassinated like this was maybe Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, and I was a little kid barely following the news cycle then. So on this scale it feels quite unique to my lived experience.

Benazir Bhutto?

Listening to Abbott's fulsome praise of Abe is it possible to agree that while the circumstances of his death are tragic and shocking, one less voice like his on the global stage might not be the loss that shock has suggested it is.
