I was just eating a chocolate bar for lunch and like a shot, the item appeared in the corner of the computer screen where it inconveniently blocks all sorts of functions, like ejecting USBs, that former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe has been shot during a speech. Apparently, a shotgun was used. Abe, at this moment, according to a news item from eight minutes ago, is showing no vital signs. I have not found any official proclamation of death. Anyway, there are few places on earth, other than communist China who regulate gun ownership so severely, yet, here we go. Put that in the “please explain” pile.
