My ningen, what? I need some context to this; all I kinda remember is that shinzo abe was a Japanese official of some sort? PM or something?
He got assassinated by someone last year over his family's ties to the Unification Church. The guy used a homemade shotgun, pretty much, made out of pipe.
It is also important to note that when he gave his explanation of why he did it, a large amount of people sympathized with him. And they're not wrong for doing so.
Dude was both sympathetic and what he wanted was kinda reasonable. He'll probably get it too.
