No, not Lincoln.

Former Japanese PM.

With a homemade gun no less.

Gun violence in Japan is almost unheard of. A nation in shock....

The assassin and the homemade gun.

At least he masked up.

Gun violence in Japan is so unheard of that nobody seemed to have a clue what was happening, and no one reacted after the first shot.

If you watch the video, the shooter, who's right behind the victim in broad daylight, blasts one off that sounds like a cannon but misses, and everyone just sort of looks confused for two or three seconds before he blasts away again and completes his mission.

I guess one good aspect of living in a shooting gallery society is that everyone in the USA is diving for cover before the echo of the first shot rings out.

If you can access this video (and don't mind seeing someone shot to death) go to 1:15 mark in the video to see the clear view of what happened.

If he had security working for him, they were either incompetent or paid off.

> blasts one off that sounds like a cannon

I was wondering about the diameter of the barrel(s) of the gun. Looks like it has a bore big enough for a shotgun shell.

das species has gone off de rails... 

 

The gun was GIANT.

Crowd wasn't a crowd.

Security wasn't secure.

He bled out...
