I am utterly saddened by the shooting death of a great man. RIP Shinzo Abe.

Cannot believe such a thing would happen in Japan.

And to a man having dedicated much of his life to improving the country for others.

May your spirit live on.

Japan has the death penalty.

It’s terrible news.

What dwells in the heart of man to kill another?

This is a sad day, reminding us that no matter how sophisticated we may think ourselves, or how sophisticated our society may be, there remains in the human soul something that is untouched by that sophistication.

I hope that his family are able come together in grief to comfort each other.

Perhaps sometimes the wiring in a humans brain did not form as it should in early years.

The potential for evil is there… something twisted. It can be hard to hold onto the good in the face of something as horrible as murder.

桜ちる  春の末には  成りにけり   雨間も しらぬ  ながめせしまに

(I hope this is fitting.)

The really sickening thing is, China is celebrating, having parties and letting off fireworks. That is absolutely disgusting.
