Holy Shit: Mayor of Nagasaki Killed by Gangster of Some Sort



Nagasaki was once a city famous for its Clover Garden, its Lantern Festival, its Junior Colleges, and of course its Penguin Aquarium. Well, not anymore. Now it's going to be famous for its senseless violence. Yesterday, Iccho Ito, the Mayor of Nagasaki, who has often spoken out against militarism, was shot dead outside his office by a senior member of the Yamaguchi-gumi crime syndicate, which has a longstanding alliance with right-wing nationalists.

You know, right-wing nationalist gangsters these days really aren't as refined as they used to be.
