TBF, the worst thing that could happen to a politician in Japan is somebody running up on them with a knife. Gun laws are harder than a Misawa forearm in the 90s. So yeahhhh they wanted that dude to be eradicated from God's green earth.

Looks like killer is a conspiracy nut, thought that Abe belonged to some sort of "secret religious organization" that he had feelings against.
The suspected killer of Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe admitted targeting the politician and said he held a grudge against an organisation he believed Abe was connected to, police have said.
Police said it was not clear if the “particular organisation” mentioned by the suspect actually existed, adding that investigations were continuing, but several Japanese media outlets described the organisation as a religious group.

Assassination suspect admits targeting Japan’s Shinzo Abe: Police
Police say suspect bore a grudge against a ‘specific organisation’ and believed Abe was part of it.
He's ex-military. The shooter was apart of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force (Japanese Navy) in the 2000s.
A mayor got assassinated a while back and the whole "japan doesn't see this stuff often" doesn't really apply to a security detail for a guy who traveled internationally.
The fact that they didn't tackle Abe OR the shooter and instead stood around like some dummies is wild. Not even getting into how lackadaisical the entire set up was.... That security fukked up.
Yeahhhh
. fukkers are getting fired, jailed, and or commit that for such a blunder. Imagine if the bodyguards were that incompetent during the Obama years
Abe was conservative/right wing. Also, he had ties to a far-right nationalist group.
RIP. May not know his political stance (Japanese Coli brehs fill me in), but he gave us this important gif during the Trump fukkery:
His father (Shintaro Abe) was Japan's foreign minister back in the '80s.

Assassination: Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe Shot Dead. Will Killing Push Japan Further to the Right?

I remember seeing on a site I will not name like 6-8 years ago of people posting schematics of homemade guns that you could build from everyday stuff that you could get at a hardware store. I wonder if the assassin may have got the build specs from there.
Yeahhh, I'm going to be stuck in this thread like the tree with the good branches. This is all wild interesting
And his grandfather was a leader and war criminal in the Japanese puppet government that controlled China during WW2.
Abe had a long history of denying WW2 atrocities (especially the forced prostitution of Korean comfort women) in line with his ultra-nationalist right-wing affiliations.
He'll probably commit that seppeku in prison.
