As you know Ex-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated on July 8th days before the Japanese parliamentary elections.

Now Japan's ruling coalition won a sweeping supermajority in the country's parliamentary elections on Sunday, which would enable it to fulfill former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's enduring ambition to reform the country's pacifist constitution.

The main point is that now they have the power to change the Japanese constitution and move japan towards being a military power once again.

If the Assasin point wast to stop this they failed miserly and made Abe into a martyr

The assassin killed him because "The 41-year-old suspect has told investigators that his motive was a grudge against a religious organization. He said he believed Abe had close ties with the group." source: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20220712_03/

I think it would be a good thing if Japan ammended it's constitution given the current security situation in the region as the west needs to work together to protect our allies and interests in the region.

    I've been to his chicken restaurant he started in his 2nd movie, Holy Chicken, was pretty good. It is only 15-20 miles from me in Ohio. It only lasted 1 yr or so then closed tho.

    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
