It’s kinda eerie how similar the reaction was between Thompson’s killing and Shinzo Abe’s. When it came out that Abe’s assassin was motivated by Abe’s ties to the Unification Church, there were a lot of people on Reddit who were like, “Oh, that makes sense. Perfectly understandable.”
What’s more, the LDP immediately cut ties with UC and threatened to expel any members who wouldn’t follow suit. And if that wasn’t enough, the Diet even passed a pair of bills meant to restrict the activities of religious organizations like the UC and provide relief to their victims.
Anybody who says that violence isn’t the answer should ask Tetsuya Yamagami about how effective it can be when the rest of your alternatives are exhausted.
