このとき、掴み合う議員らの頭上から飛びかかったのは、民主党の小西洋之議員。その理由について次のようにツイートした。
強行採決され無念。採決は、委員長が手元の議事次第を読み上げマイクに吹き込み、成立する。従って、私は、違憲立法を阻止するため、マイクと議事次第の確保を努めました。最後は、与党議員のスクラムの上から議事次第を取りに行きましたが、誰にも暴力は振るってないし、また、振るわれてもいません。
— 小西ひろゆき (小西洋之) (@konishihiroyuki) September 17, 2015
私は、本気で違憲立法を阻止するため、委員長の手元の議事次第を確保に行きました。
マイクは確保できたのですが、本当に無念です。申し訳ありません。
— 小西ひろゆき (小西洋之) (@konishihiroyuki) September 17, 2015
小西氏は、特別委の鴻池祥肇委員長の不信任動議の否決後、委員長席に前方から走り寄りマイクを奪取。その後、議事次第を確保しようとしたようだが掴むことができず揉み合いになった。
その後、議長席の後方に回りこんでダイビング。飛びかかる小西氏に対しては、それを止めようとする議員の姿も見られた。これに対して小西氏は当初、殴られたとの意識はなかったようだが、映像を確認して気がついたことも明かしている。
複数の方から、強行採決の混乱の中で、私が誰かから殴られたのではないかと心配を頂きましたが、下から二人がかりで引きずり降ろされたタイミングと、丁度重なって見えるだけでした。御心配有り難うございました🍀

別の映像と勘違いでした。
憲法を守るため必死で気付きませんでしたが、顔を殴られていました。少し腫れがきて医務室で液状湿布手当しました。
実は、写真のような蹴り傷もあり余り気にならずでした。多くの皆様に御心配頂き有り難うございました🍀

Japan was expected to pass the security bills on September 18 that would allow troops to fight on foreign soil for the first time since World War II, despite fierce criticism it will fundamentally alter the character of the pacifist nation.

Security guards surround opposition lawmakers who try to prevent other lawmakers from entering the chamber of the committee on the security legislation in parliament's upper house in Tokyo Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2015. Opposition lawmakers and thousands of demonstrators were staging last-ditch protests in a political showdown as Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party started a final push to pass the security legislation to expand the role of the country's military. The bills would allow the military to defend Japan's allies even when the country isn't under attack, work more closely with the U.S. and other allies, and do more in international peacekeeping.
