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.

Yes, and he was assassinated by a dude with a janky homemade shotgun last year.

Dunno if this is better or worse than Tumblr informing people of world events via Dean and Castiel from Supernatural.
