I remember watching a slowed-down gif of this with a friend and feeling so bizarre that we can relive moments of the past so vividly with modern technology.
In a similar vein, Saddam’s purge is a chilling thing to watch.
This photo is actually directly after the first stabbing and before the attempted 2nd stabbing (he would be restrained before completely a second strike). The injuries sustained before this photo would lead to Asanuma’s death.
