I wonder if this was a Yakuza hit.

I'd bet we find out sooner than later....

 

The Japanese won't have to hold special hearings....assign 700 lawyers...etc.....to deal with the situation.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if they hold a public execution.    JMO.   CL

This is a pretty eye opening situation.

 

A little off topic, but if a person wants to do harm or kill other people or groups of people, they will find a way to do it. Either with a vehicle, pipe bomb , IED or in this case a homemade double barrel shotgun.

 

Background checks  and other REASONABLE gun control measures should be implemented to prevent felons,  people with mental isssues and people of interest from obtaining a firearm of any kind.

 

But at the end of a day where there is a will  to cause death, injury and chaos, there is a way. Guns in their hands just make it more convenient.  

 

Guns in my hands may prevent it. 

 

My opinion.

Sorry I'm not sure this event is real. I did not see any blood resulting from the 2 supposed home made shot gun wounds. 

Things may not be as they appear. Abe was an open critic of Chyna tackling Tiewon. So lots of possible motives.
