    I guess it was a gas pistol, that's why he was so close

    One must ask how did he get through, there are some serious flaw in that security and that security must be questioned, there must be someone working with the dude

    He had the element of surprise, he could have just hit the guy in the head with the gun after it jammed. Damn that would be scary.

    He obviously didn't have high enough archery and attack to wield that weapon....
    But for reals, thats crazy. Any idea why this guy was going to kill that guy? Had to be some serious stuff...

    If he had planned on getting that close, maybe he should have used something more foolproof like a knife

    Just thought about this. Maybe it was a publicity stunt...
    And did you see the look on the minister guys face? He looked almost prepared and then scurried like a rat.
    LOL and the ninja reflexes? yeah right bro..
    Then the guy got the poop beat out of him, placed back in his buttox, and beat out of him again.

    Doesn't seem like one at all

    the guy was super adrenaline rushed after he had the gun pulled on him, while kicking in his head etc

    very often actually. Mechanical devices are always prone to failures unless properly taken care of-and that means like cleaning the gun after each shoot for e.g.

    I could see a gas pistol jamming as im sure they arent made to the standards of regular guns but still. Non-Lethal! I realize from up close it could be damaging and in the EU where there are stricter gun laws, gas pistols are more 'common', but if the guy really wanted to kill him, wouldnt he have taken the time to get an actual gun with actual bullets?

    TL;DR, im not buying it. imo, it was staged.

    (but... lets wait a day or 2 and see if anything shows up on snopes... though, if this was staged, i feel as if that information would never surface.)

    They're lethal at that range though, that's why he was so close

    Gas pistols are still pretty deadly up close. That's why I think the assailant came so close to him, because it would only be deadly at close range.

    I doubt it would be staged because there seems to me there is no motive to doing this.

    I agree with Rincewind. What political agenda would you achieve by letting the whole world knows that there are people that hate you and would give up their lives to exchange for yours? Unless there is an election going on and someone actually assassinated from a distance, which would make the opposition party the most suspicious (like what happened during the 2004 TW presidential election).

    Also from the video the assassinator is wearing a lanyard, so i suppose he smuggled in as a security personnel of some sort?

    He had 2 knives, it was the fact that he was so surprised that it didn't work he fell into small shock and then panics slowing him down and by the time he realises he flopped he gets taken down
