Not going to watch.
Did the catch the person?
yep
Really surprising news from a country that post-World War 2 really hasn’t experienced much in the way of political turmoil like this.
The reaction post shooting is also interesting. And very Japanese.
Would be absolute pandemonium in virtually every other country in the world. In Japan? A few seconds of people naturally rushing to help, the perpetrator apprehended and people going about their daily business just casually looking on.

It’s the same edited footage from the earlier news report, nothing gruesome.
Yeah, they caught the guy on the scene.

I know nothing other than Abe was the longest ever PM and they usually don’t last long. That’s about it.
I know nothing other than their National Diet is not fish and rice.
Oh, and Antonio Inoki.
I learnt Japanese for 2 years in high school in the 90’s.
Ask me anything!

And has died from his injuries.
Unsurprising going by reports.
Japan will be in a state of shock, this sort of violence is uncommon (gun violence).
I know it’s a photo, but how are people so calm??

Suspect worked for the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Forces for 3 years.
I collected all 120 stars in Super Mario 64, so I think I know what I’m talking about.

Very sad occurrence, and an unusual target since he is no longer directly involved in politics.
