So who is going to take his place as PM if he dies. Dont know much about Japan's sucession.
If I remember it correctly, Fumio Kishida is the current Prime Minister of Japan. After Shinzo Abe left the office in 2020, it was Yoshihide Suga then Fumio Kishida after him.

He probably built some shells as well. The smoke is probably just the material he used for the shells casing being burnt up.
I mean he could've used some wadding like a piece of cork to help get a better grouping on the projectiles & cram some paper down to keep everything in place, but I would hardly call it a shell. When I think of shell I think of a percussion cap firing mechanism & this setup was a lot more simple than that.

According to the suspect, he got involved to shoot Abe because he was "dissatisfied".

This statement was made after the police got him.

Nitpick that tweet screenshot. Japan doesn't have a president. Prime Minister is the head of government.

Can I just point one thing out? And I mean no offense here to this tragedy but...

Look at how fucking insane that makeshift weapon is. That must have taken days and days to make - and I would assume the knowledge to even do so is extremely hard to come by for a layperson.

Compare that to the kid at Uvalde who bought an AR-15 on his 18th birthday and was like "k here I go"

The weapon reminds me of that Clint Eastwood movie. In the Line of Fire I think its called? John Malcovich is trying to assassinate someone and to avoid metal detectors he creates his own handgun made of wood with a unique firing mechanism.

Yeah, of course Japan is going to take the racist route in some ways. A friend of mine said he saw them blaming Koreans.... which is not unexpected when it comes to the fact Japan and the Koreas hate each other.

Nara police have searched the suspect's apartment. Area had to be evacced for potential explosives. From what I heard from NHK, the EOD specialist took the suspected items to be "disposed of".

Some people here had a really strong opinion about Abe.

He could have also been a nutjob who heard a famous person would be nearby. Abe is still a household name.

I'd be curious to hear from the shooter, I just don't really get the point. He'll likely receive the death penalty, so as a political statement I am not sure how it was worth it. Abe was a pretty awful guy, but still don't understand why anyone would kill him.

The reason Abe is dead is because is a crazy person with the necessary skills and opportunity decided to kill him. Acts of violence like this often have no deeper reason, and there certainly is no deeper meaning to the death itself. Hopefully the biggest social change that this causes is for high ranking public figures to be given more security.
