And all the pellets hit abe and no bystanders

Abe was shot from just a few meters away though. Hard to miss at that distance (well, one would think. The assassin missed his first shot).

still he didn’t make a cheap piece of junk

…goddamn. I am conservative but this is top tier memeage. And he is okay so… I think we can all have a laugh! 😂 Very funny. 👍🏻
Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No matter what side you’re on, this is the funniest fucken meme I’ve seen in a while.
weeeeum@lemmy.world 9 months ago
To be fair, it was a point blank shot, and there wasn’t secret service up the ass everywhere.

Wait
What’s going on…?
brandon@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
There was a shooting at a Trump rally. Details are still being released. The meme is referencing the successful assassination of Shinzo Abe a couple years ago.

Were people hurt?? Ffs America
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Fun fact: this will be the 34th mass shooting in the month of July in the US. This qualifies as a mass shooting because there were 4 casualties.

There needs to be a period or lime break between “in a cave” and “with a box of scrap”
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I know it was a typo, but a lime break does sound great. Maybe a gin rickey?

I like the way you think

Fun fact: Tetsuya in zhe Japanese dictionary means:
徹夜 - てつや - 🇬🇧staying up all night
randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 9 months ago
A not-so-fun fact: The Tetsuya in his name is actually 徹也. Just a coincidence that it sounds the same as “staying up all night”. Fun coincidence though.

Good to know, I’m still learning Japanese

My wife and her cousin both have the name Hiroko, but the kanji is different so they’re different names. It’s like Lewis and Louis, or Stuart and Stewart. Anglophones seem to have a hard time grasping that, despite it being quite common in English

He also killed a shitty ex president everybody hated; more like killing george bush. Like if an Iraq war vet killed George Bush or Dick Cheney tomorrow the entire US would probably say the same thing.

??? Abe was crazy popular. He didn’t even get got for his political stances, but rather his support for the Moonies.
suction@lemmy.world 9 months ago
He wasn’t popular outside of Japan.

The difference is that Tetesuya was able to kill the PM because he did it at point blank range.

Holy shit that whole thing was only like, three weeks ago? Feels like two months.

Not being able to pull off an assasination in a country where citizens can legally buy an assualt rifle must be an embarrasment in the history of assasins.
ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 9 months ago
it was an incredibly close shot. looks like he coincidentally moved his head the exact moment the shot rang, if he hadn’t he would be gone. factors like windage also play a role. idk which outcome is worse.
Dagamant@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I also don’t know which outcome would be worse but I do know which one I really wanted in that moment.
octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
Definitely this one. This just killed my hope that he loses again, and you know the Gravy Seals are going to step up their harassment and violence towards people - and that would have been true either way. At least with the other outcome he doesn’t get in.

Assuming it was actually the bullet that injured his ear, and not the 10 secret service guys wrestling a 78 year old man to the ground.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No it wasn’t. He has zero injuries. It could even been a shard of glass on the stage. Stages are dirty fucking things that no one cleans once they are up.

That’s why you aim for the torso, center of mass, smh, frfr

It’s a lesser known manufacturer, but a hit at gun shows.
