(311 posts)When Shinzo Abe, the exPM of Japan, was assassinated in 2023, the public outrage, outcry, shock and disbelief in Japan was unprecedented.
Soon, however, evidence was shown that Abe was associated, mainly by receiving money donations, with the South Korean Unification church cult (Moonies to most Americans), and other Liberal Democratic Party conservatives were as well, along with many other politicians. This and other money scandals are still rocking Japan's government.
The assassin was a young man whose life had been virtual destroyed by his mother's contributions of the family's money to the cult. He, possibly mistakenly, blamed Abe and his policies for his family's plight.
Suddenly sympathies were turned or at least less outraged.
When a such a person is murdered many people realize the two side of justice. It is unfortunate that he was murdered but his own actions possibly set the killer into action. Accountability in the U.S. is becoming less and less for the rich and more and more for the poor.
Further such actions may occur. Will this lead to martial law and a police state we're already worried is coming with the trump crowd? Let's hope not.
