The difference is that Tetesuya was able to kill the PM because he did it at point blank range.
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.
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.
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.
He couldn't have asked for a better gift for his campaign.
Like a real life Day of the Jackal.
assualt
It's a lesser known manufacturer, but a hit at gun shows.
/J
To be fair, it was a point blank shot, and there wasn't secret service up the ass everywhere.
There needs to be a period or lime break between "in a cave" and "with a box of scrap"
I know it was a typo, but a lime break does sound great. Maybe a gin rickey?
I like the way you think
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
Fun fact: Tetsuya in the Japanese dictionary means:
徹夜 - てつや - 🇬🇧staying up all night
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.
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
I think the pitch accent is also different so they're not even homophones, but I don't have a dictionary handy
Wait
What's going on...?
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.
....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. 👍🏻
No matter what side you're on, this is the funniest fucken meme I've seen in a while.
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, in fact it might be the one thing that could unite all of america.
??? Abe was crazy popular. He didn't even get got for his political stances, but rather his support for the Moonies.
He wasn’t popular outside of Japan.
