Gotta love Wikipedia... President of the Liberal Democratic Party and a right-wing Japanese nationalist.

I was confused by that also but assumed something was lost in translation or they just refer to parties differently in Japan. Still unclear what his politics are. I do remember hearing about his economic policies back in the day.

I realize other countries define parties/idealogies differently than we do, but anytime I see "right-wing nationalist" I have to roll my eyes a bit... pretty much anyone right of Bernie Sanders is described that way on Wikipedia.

Yeah, Wikipedia is clearly biased in their politics.

Wow, clearest video i have seen yet. Seems like the first shot missed him. As he turned around to see what it was the second shot hit him in the chest.

You can see someone, presumably a secret service type, try and put a briefcase up to stop the shot but clearly did not stop it.
