Today in "talk shit, get hit": Japanese "politician" Kawai Yūsuke, who's turned to anti-immigrant hate to garner attention, got lightly grazed on the cheek after harassing Kurdish immigrants at their annual Newroz Festival & acted like he'd taken a bazooka to the face.
The Newroz Festival is held by the several thousand or so Kurdish residents of Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture. Right-wingers in Japan constantly accuse the tiny minority of somehow single-handedly turning Japan into a Mad Max-style wasteland.
