Correct me If I am wrong but Abe was assassinated because the killer thought he was associated with a church that left his family destitute[1].

- Philpax 2y agoNot "thought", known to have: > Abe and his family were known to have long-standing ties to the Unification Church, dating back to his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi; Abe himself had held speeches in support of the religious movement. from the same article
- rakejake 2y agoYes, I worded that incorrectly. What I meant was Abe didn't directly wrong the killer (AFAIK), he just happened to be the most public supporter of the church and paid for it with his life.
- tasuki 2y agoNo you didn't word it incorrectly! > the killer thought he was associated with a church that left his family destitute The killer certainly thought that. Also it was true!
- arp242 2y agoYes, that is correct. It's kind of a similar situation in the sense of "person does bad things with zero consequences and no one seems to care, until someone is fed up and takes action".
- rakejake 2y agoThe difference is that UH CEO's decisions did have consequences. His policies resulted in people not getting the care they were supposed to get (allegedly as per online media, I do not have any direct information or source for this). Going after Abe is like going after Tom Cruise if you want to take revenge on the Church of Scientology.
- arp242 2y ago"With zero consequences for the person doing the bad thing", obviously.
- valval 2y ago“Bad things” is subjective, and you’d only want to start this war if you’re certain you’d win.
