    @Mik said in Shinzo Abe assassinated:

    No you didn't. You just made that up. 😆

    But it is interesting as a view into Japanese politics. Do you think this guy had a serious purpose or he was just another whackadoodle?

    My Japanese colleague said he thought it was most likely a one-off. He said ex-military folk in Japan tend to be less rebellious than average, and I think the suspect is ex-navy?

    Ex-navy or whatever, I suspect there’s some pathology in the guy’s brain.

    Elbows up!

      National Communistic Radio.

      If there is any entity that ought to play it right down the middle, it's NPR and NPB.

        As I have said before...If you are willing to die to kill somebody, no security can prevent that.

        None.

            You have to be pretty focused and motivated too. And you still might fail. I have no doubt there were plenty of people who would have traded their life to end Trump’s. But they lacked the focus and motivation and know-how.

            Education is extremely important.

              Granted. You have to be smart about it.

                Typical Americans. That’s why I’m leaving this country, and moving to Texas.

                    Right. The Texas is strong in this one.

                      I have my passport out today, as I’m heading to Portugal in a few hours.

                      I’ll have you know that in the space reserved for “Place of Birth”, mine says “Dallas, TX”.

                        Oh, I believe that. But Texas is nowhere in your developed personality.

                        Hope you are not flying Scandinavian. good friend of mine is stranded in Germany today due to their strikes and bankruptcy.

                            Rumor is that he had information that would send Hillary Clinton to jail.

                            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
