> And then something odd started to happen: As the Japanese people learned more about Tetsuya Yamagami and what he had experienced in his life, their overwhelming reaction was not a feeling of anger about the loss of the unloved Abe, but sympathy towards his assassin.

Lol no: https://apnews.com/article/shinzo-abe-japan-tokyo-elections-...

This article is disgusting regardless of 'truth'. We are to the point now where we call a political assassination "successful" and spread the assassins' story as if there is/was just cause...

What really is the point of the article anyway? Abe wasn't perfect so he deserves to be murdered? The assassin had a good point? Really?

Maybe we should start seeing articles about the OKC bombing next.

The media sensationalize murderers hoping there will be copycats, so they'll have more sensational news to get more eyeballs and sell more ads. They make the news. The only way to stop this is to call it out.
