What was so graphic about that?
"see the moment Shinzo Abe was shot"
No respect whatsoever for the man, everything for some clicks.
He went all Ted Mosby on him !
A sick world we live in, doesn't matter where you are from, evil is everywhere. This is so incredibly sad. Thoughts and prayers to his family, and to all who are affected by this. Sending love from the US.
He was far right wing and grand son of WW2 class A war criminal who refused to make a full apology to victims. He screwed up Japanese economy with his foolish policies and stole money from tax payers. For example, Abe won Tokyo Olympics then contracted paper box bed to his brother's company for $2200 each, gave used school property for almost nothing to his friend and used government fund to treat his supporters. He used sudden sickness as excuse twice to quit as prime minister when he was in hot seat for embezzlement and not able to handle COVID. Abe gave prayers every year to Japanese class A war criminals and changed school textbooks that Japan was victim of the West and nuclear bombs by the US. Let's not sugar coat this and look at him for facts that he was no angel.
You did great by your country, RIP man, God bless.
We will miss you and we will meet you in heaven
The killer's mother made a large donation to the Unification Church, which resulted in bankruptcy and the family's collapse.
Therefore, it seems that the murderer has a grudge against the Unification Church and targeted Shinzo Abe, who has a close relationship with the Unification Church.
Note that the Japanese media has not disclosed the name of the Unification Church at all.
😢😢😢😢
FYI everybody – They did NOT shot him being shot so you won’t see that here.
I didn’t see anything. Tipic of fake organizations
This video is a waste of time. There are video out there showing Abe's internals coming out of his chest and he stumbles forward collapsing on the ground.
And the camera person instantly dropped the camera. So professional
R.I.P.. very tragic and unsettling. My Japanese friends, my heart goes out to you.💜
This bowl of Ramen is for you Abe!🥢
Prayers n Condolences to him n his Family !!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Who wanted him
Holy crap. Rip. Wow 😢
His security detail reacted terribly to this and is probably why he ended up dead. If you watch the actual video the first shot failed. The second shot is what killed him. Rather than immediately rush to guard him as the first shot rang out, everyone around him ducked and looked around confused. Had this been on the US secret service would have tackled the president or whoever was being shot at immediately to get them out of harms way. Not to mention the fact that the guy would have probably not even have been able to get the first shot off. Poor training is to blame for this death. They were given the perfect opportunity to save Abe’s life with that first misfire and they squandered it due to having no clue how to respond in the face of a situation like this. He is dead because of their inability to react to a dire situation quickly. There is no sugarcoating it. There was nearly 3 seconds between the misfire and the shot that killed him. That’s plenty of time for his guards to have reacted and tackle him out of the way had they actually been trained properly. And if they were trained properly then they should be immediately fired.
Rest in peace Abe-san.. you did not deserve this. You were a good man who only wanted the best for your country. Your message will live forever. Peace and love from the United States 🇺🇲🇯🇵
