6. [removed]

7. He’s not showing any vital signs…

8. Currently watching the broadcast on the TV in the teachers office… Everyone is shocked.

9. promotes violence. gets violence. so glorious.

10. Surprised his UC didn’t get to him first. Fuck

11. Saw this on the news but couldn’t read kanji and the video clips weren’t detailed so I thought it was a terrorist attack or something. Didn’t realize it was an assassination attempt on the ex-PM.

12. It was just announced that he has died.

13. An honorable man, may he rest in peace

14. This is devastating. Not a big Abe fan, but what the fuck!???!!!!

    Is Japan becoming America???

15. abe was a fascist, imperialist, and war crime denier. to be quite honest the world is better off without him. however the effects this incident will have on the sociopolitical landscape will be devastating. it’s difficult to say what will happen next but in all likelihood none of it will be good

    edit: i know japan fetishizers tend to be stupid but damn this comment section is down bad. you know you don’t have to show respect for abe just because he was assassinated right? he was a shitty person who denied nanking, denied the existence of comfort women, advocated official visits to yasukuni, actively promoted the re-militarization of japan and was part of nippon kaigi, an ultra-nationalist org that seeks to rebuild the Empire. the man was a danger to the world. he also has the added benefit of being part of one of the most atrocious political dynasties in modern history. seriously, look up his grandfather, he was pure evil. maybe take off your weeb glasses for a sec and stop glorifying a literal fascist.

16. Praying to a memorial shrine for japanese war criminals? Yeah, won’t be missed.

17. とても悲しい
