Exclude self defense and unintentional as well.

lmao why would you exclude unintentional deaths if the point is that having more guns means more people die from guns

“From the invasion of China in 1937 to the end of World War II, the Japanese military regime murdered near 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war.”

Wow that’s incredibly anti Semitic. Imagine equating some poor asian farmers to the 6 MILLION INNOCENT JEWS who were ERADICATED like RATS by the MOST EVIL MAN IN HISTORY. I bet you support Palestine as well. disgusting.

The most overused excuse for racist/homophobic/sexist stuff is "relax its just a joke". I gotta give you some credit though cause you at least made a joke rather than whatever the fuck mobadis is doing in here

Are you perhaps, denying the holocaust? Invalidating the lived experiences of those brave survivors? Ever seen Schindler’s list? Been to the museum of tolerance? Maybe heard of Anne Frank? Sad we can live in a world with so much hatred and intolerance. Seriously, do some soul-searching and sort out why you feel the need to attack such a marginalized group of people. They shouldn’t have had to live through 2000 years of persecution just to deal with this BS.

It’s not a joke. Although a small percentage of the population, African americans commit a majority of homicides.

Except for Rosenberg, the guy that codified Nazism, had Jewish ancestry and Jewish author and activist Norman Finkelstein, the author of The Holocaust Industry, quotes his mother as asking; “If everyone who claims to be a Holocaust survivor actually is one, who did Hitler kill?" Holocaust supremacy is a big deal. It is used by Israel and Zionism to cover for their own genocide.
No reparations for anyone else who came under the steamroller of the Nazis or Communism, in fact, not one Communist has been tried for the killings of tens of millions... many have fled to Israel and get to live a lavish lives despite their mass murder of Russians and especially Poles who were also marked with a P and held in camps. But Poles MUST pay reparations to Israel for crimes they did not commit.
Also, anyone know why the assassin did this? What was the motive?

I like how in America the most fervent anti-Gun public officers give their full support to a military ethnostate which exports the MOST deadly weapons BASED on % of GDP than any other country in the world. Israel funds groups in the US to take guns away from US citizens but then;
Blue: Pregnant Palestinian woman with a sniper crosshair on her belly, under it: “1 shot 2 kills” White: Palestinian child and slogan: “The smaller, the harder” (harder to hit)
A T-shirt for infantry snipers bears the inscription “Better use Durex,” next to a picture of a dead Palestinian baby, with his weeping mother and a teddy bear beside him.

It's all fucked, bro. We send Israel $3 billion annually. For what? Their problems are not ours. Nor should we support foreign nations for the influence and power gained abroad.
The US has a giga fuck ton of arable land and natural resources. We can propser without meddling in problems that are not ours.

fuck religion!! fuck terrorism!!! fuck the middle east!!! WE LIVE IN AMERICA!!!
This thread is absolute ballsack, so I'm going to get it back on track. and post a word wall.
I was in Nara, Japan on a trip when this all went down... I actually rode a train through the very station where he was killed in front of not even 45 minutes after he was shot apparently. Found out about it when I was on said train back to Osaka where I and the chick I have been seeing were going to stay that night before heading back to Tokyo the next day.
Pretty fucking crazy situation, but absolutely NOTHING has changed in Japan. It gave NHK (Japanese BBC) a ton of viewership, and a lot of people were shocked that it happened, but it was overall pretty ho-hum. There wasn't some massive increase of security in train stations or anything that I saw, and people continued to just do the same old thing they always do... It wasn't like when JFK was killed...
...because Japanese people are the most apathetic people EVER when it comes to political discourse and leadership.
Ive seen western news outlets constantly saying that people here were mourning him? and I kinda laughed.. like.. ehhhhh dude this isn't like, North Korea or some bullshit... so not really. Everyone was more like えええええ!？本当に???? 怖い! which translates to 'whaaaaaat? no way!!! how scary!' and then went along with their business... The news here isn't like in the USA either - its not 24/7, there arent any competing cable news networks stoking division, and even on the news that does exist, there's rarely if ever any political punditry...
Simply put, Japanese people rarely engage in it unless they are involved in political activism to begin with. Its actually extremely refreshing living in a place where every single conversation between anyone can happen without ANY discussion of politics - business politics from work, absolutely, but national politics? barely any - even during election season. They actively avoid the subject - along with money, and religion - these are things you just don't really talk about publically because it's seen as rude, divisive, and causes tension - Japanese people generally try to avoid tension in social situations as much as they can. In fact, during elections, there are so many joke candidates and funny single-issue parties running around trying to make light of the whole thing, that politics are just not even taken seriously by a lot of people. (I mean, they literally have a political party - that has several members in power - whose one policy is to abolish NHK payments, or at least make it so people from NHK stop coming around knocking on doors, demanding payment for NHK TV services - which is 120$ per year - Japan doesn't just pull things out of your paycheque, you have to pay for things like social security separately and on your own - which is all a bit mendoukusai (pain in the ass))
Abe being shot was about as shocking as if some famous actor was shot... actually, if someone like Ken Watanabe was shot and murdered, it might have been even bigger news in Japan - because at least that dude is universally loved.
This was nothing like if a former US president had been shot - much less comparing it to JFK's assassination some dumbass outlets were saying... if say, Clinton or Bush or Obama or Trump had been shot, people wouldn't stop talking about it, and there would be this massive outcry, and a ton of political tension would get stoked... fingers would be pointed, and there would be a huge uproar.. But guns are already so difficult to come by in Japan that this guy had to manufacture some bullshit out of parts he found at at Japanese Home Depot, and generally speaking, people here feel SUPER safe... everyone mostly has just seen it as a one-off, and said they hope the government increases security to make it so people don't make guns... and the government is responding in kind - making it a priority to eliminate homemade firearms.
It has been really interesting to see the difference between the news here, and internationally... Abe might have been popular abroad for his foreign policy - such as constantly making trips to the USA and Europe to facilitate trade, and getting the 2020(1) olympics, but here in Japan, they couldn't give a fuuuck about foreign policy... the only things they care about that are foreign are if they can use their vacation time to fly to Hawaii to relax on the beach, or Canada to fuck under the northern lights (apparently that's a thing? like it's good luck to conceive a baby under the Northern Lights? either way they're fucking obsessed with aurora here..) Japan doesnt really have a military, and by law, rely on the USA for the most part for defense - which is a big part of why they have had the ability to prioritize amazing infrastructure projects like the Shinkansen, Seikan Tunnel, and the big ass bridge between Honshu and Kyushu.
Abe's domestic policy has been a lot more divisive, and I'd say that about 30-40% of the population really didnt care for his cultural or economic work... Jimento (Japanese version of the British Tory Party) has been deficit spending like CRAZY for years, and it has made Japan's nominal debt to GDP pretty outrageous... all while not raising taxes on the rich, and increasing the load of individual pension payments for the younger generations to bear... (I'm supposed to be paying 110$ a month in pension payments - which is bullshit not only because Japan doesn't just pull it out of my paycheque like social security payments in other countries, but also because companies themselves don't have to contribute a very substantial amount to this...) This has pissed off a lot of people - especially younger folks, but Jimento, just like the GOP and Torys, rely on old curmudgeons and rural voters for supporters, so that makes things difficult.
Japan's government has also been a lot more nationalistic under his leadership... they have been rewriting history books in Japan, and omitting atrocities that the Empire committed or refusing to speak of them - and his continued visitation of the Yasukuni shrine has pissed off a lot of the neighbours - it infuriates PRChina, Indonesia, the Phillippines, and BOTH Koreas.. (Yasukuni shrine is like Arlington Ntl Cemetary was full of convicted war criminals who orchestrated the Rape of Nanking and forced sexual slavery of women in countries they took over - especially in Korea and the Philippines which have large diasporas in Japan)
Couple that with increased spending for the Self Defense Forces, and growth of Japan's military industries and constant cries from party members to abolish Article 9 from the constitution (which prevents Japan from having a military) and Abe's policies have worried the hell out of a good section of population of anti-war pacifists who simply want the trains to arrive on time, good healthcare, and toilets to wipe their ass for them like we all do over here.
So yeah, I wouldn't say he has been mourned as much as news outlets have been saying. Its sad as hell that the dude was shot and killed - that was fucked up, but a lot of people will kinda just... forget about it and move on like Japanese always do in the face of tragedy... which is just fucking constant over here.

That assassination was totally fucked up... the kid was 17 and had been super radicalized by the late 1950s Japan version of the Proud Boys and then killed himself in custody...
That said, even in Japan, swords are not a guaranteed right... If you go walking down the streets brandishing a Katana, the police will absolutely stop you and be like 'yo that's inappropriate can you please not?'
If you refuse, they will subdue you with a sasumata, which is like a giant man-catcher and its pretty hilarious how simple and effective it is, or a fucking net gun which is just as hilarious

F’k yea I support Palestine, bud. Every terrible religious wingnut I know says “we must support Israel” so I know I must be on the right side. IDK how I’m supposed to feel any sympathy for Israel when all they keep doing is expanding further and further into Palestinian land then play victim when Palestinian extremists bomb back, so Isreal blasts tons of Rockets into Gaza and kills a bunch of kids.
fuck Israel. I know the US is no better, which only strengthens my belief. Were the shitty ones
