The shooter said it was because of Abe's ties to the Unification Church, which had bankrupted his mom. His initial target wasn't Abe, but the president of the church. The motive does seem plausible to me.
It would be really funny if he was looking for the leader of the church, but didn't find him, and that's when he found Abe in the street and decided to shoot him, so he wouldn't have wasted his time making a gun and ammo for it.
I don't know if you know the story, but the guy was walking home, happened to walk past Abe (who had randomly decided to hold an unscheduled speech in the middle of the street, so had very little security), went home and got the
he'd already made, came back and the rest is history
i didn't know about the coincidental nature of it!
i thought doohickey guy was stalking him or something and found his moment
the mental picture of him just walking back from the shop, spotting abe and thinking "no fucking way", rushing home, then blasting the guy is incredible
It's one of the most incredible assassinations in history, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy
I don’t think that’s true at all. The guy did stalk Abe, and I haven’t seen anything that says he coincidentally walked past Abe while he was giving an impromptu speech.
