Hopefully, he will survive

Another nut job crowning himself for attention. Body guards will have to answer some questions on this one. Crazy start to the year! Hope Lee Jae-myung makes a full and speedy recovery.

Keep your eyes open folks.

Seems like another thug using deadly weapons rather than words to debate politics. Just like the killer of ex PM Abe. Another security fail, also.

Hoping the opposition leader recovers.

His supporters see him as an anti-elitist hero who could reform establishment politics, eradicate corruption and solve growing economic inequality.

Sounds like exactly the type of person that the establishment forces of regression in politics and business either want to marginalize or if that fails resort to more extreme measures.

They said the attacker was wearing something that looked like a crown on his head.

The mentally unstable can also be convenient pawns too.

Fighto...

Abe's killer was not a thug.

Hoping the opposition leader recovers.

As there is not a drop of blood in the photo, the wound is probably superficial, but I also hope he recovers soon.

Is this a typo? I just can't make any sense of that statement.

Reminds me of Abe's assassination.

Lee is apparently subject to the same sort of left wing political vendetta that leftists in America are pursuing in their efforts to rig the upcoming presidential elections.
