(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/shinzo-abe-japan-pm-collapses-nara-07-08-22-intl-hnk/index.html

Completely unexpected news.

Absolutely fucking insane that even in a homogeneous country like Japan their (former) leader can be assassinated.
*Forgot that he recently left office.

The gun the killer built looks insane and post apocalyptic

Seems like if he wasn't stopped there he was going to target others.

Sarcathsmas thread on this topic wasnt good enough for you? You had to go and make a whole other thread.

Dumbass attention whore.

I get your point - but maybe take it down like two notches.

I have Rev blocked on my main, so maybe cut him some slack here.

Realtalk; it would take almost no real effort to genuinely assassinate anyone, even the potus or red scare era Fidel Castro... it's scary how easy it would be, which is why public figures really do have to put on a brave face ALL the time.

of course, the media is hella stupid

Absolutely not. He should know better than to make topics.

Yeah, just fucking news since you never expect anything like that in Japan, of all places.

Plus Sarcasma blocks half the board.

I have 13 users blocked, and 3 of them are Zeus. Not sure if that qualifies as half of PotD.

nah, that does sound like half the board.

there's only, legit, like 30 of of here... ya?

To be fair, about half of those blocked users are currently in purg, so I feel pretty vindicated there.

It actually takes a lot of effort to assassinate most ranking politicians because they're protected. Plenty of people have tried and failed to do it.

Most lower-ranking politicians don't have much protection and most celebs don't have a lot of protection.

But, at the same time, a lot of murder attempts fail.
